Mafia Captive
I haven’t read all of Kitty Thomas’s books yet, but I’m already a HUGE fan. There’s a certain addictive quality to her writing and her dark tales that ensure I will read every single Kitty book out of her repertoire (and the sooner, the better). I just can’t get enough. Plus!! She’s one of “my firsts” (see my review for Comfort Food – I had never read anything like that before and was torn as to what I was feeling). It was my first super-dark-read with a side of questionable romantic connection and unnerving emotion, and I was… bonding with the monster!!? I was experiencing Stockholm Syndrome via a book! GAH!!! I couldn’t believe it (and yet I was titillated!)
Reader Question – The book where the guy is getting a tattoo and the girl thinks it’s something else… ;)
Oh! This one sounds like fun! Tattoos and seemingly obvious situation that ends up being a total misunderstanding. I love when that happens. In books, I mean! In books. In real life, I’d be pretty ticked. Or embarrassed, depending on “who” they were… 😉
“L” asks:
“… I was wondering if you could help me with a book. I read an excerpt a while ago and can’t remember the title or author. Don’t remember if the book’s been released already or will be released soon. I think the excerpt has to do with the heroine who’s looking for the hero (can’t remember why) and finds him getting a tattoo by a woman on her knees, but the heroine didn’t notice the tattoo part, so she got the wrong impression. Thanks for any help you can provide.”
Reader Question – The book where the bad guys chase them into the woods…
This one almost sounds like a scene out of Karina Halle’s “Sins & Needles” but instead of woods, it was the Vegas strip… so my guess is probably not right.
Do you guys know which book Stacy is looking for?
Stacy asks:
“I read a short teaser for an upcoming book release (on a blog I think) and can’t remember the name of the book or author. I’m hoping you will know after I describe it. It was a short scene with a man and woman who are being chased in their car by “bad guys”. They are being shot at and end up ditching their car and running through a wooded area. The woman is able to shot one of the guys and they eventually loose the bad guys in the woods.
Reader Question – The book where the famous guy doesn’t show up for her prom…
Gah! The dead cell-phone excuse. But sure enough, it happens! So what book is Ladonna looking for?
Ladonna asks:
“Hello, the book I’m looking for is one I’ve read but forgot the title. I remember that there was a scene where the female was supposed to go to prom/dance with the boy but he didn’t show up. I think he was famous and he was supposed to fly in for her dance but his phone died so he couldnt call her. This is probably in many books but if you have any ideas, please let me know. Thank you in advance! :)”
Latest Bargain e-Books – Friday April 19th 2013
One of my favorite parts of the week!! Backtracking through my fellow readers’ recommendations and bargain finds to see all that I’ve been missing while I’ve been in my own reading-world. *squeeeeee* This list looks phenomenal this week! Lots of new ones that I haven’t seen before. I’ve got three books already lined up for this weekend. Now if I could just get my surroundings to leave me in peace, I might actually finish ’em all. Well, hopefully at least two. 😉
