Most of the books listed below I received today, the packages from The Bookdepository just kept dropping and dropping on the doormat and when I was preparing this blogpost another one was delivered by the packages mailman. I have to mailmen, one delivers the mail that fits in the mailbox, the other one delivers packages that don't fit in the mailbox or packages I need to sign for.

Since I ordered my monthly order about a week and a half ago and there were some pre-orders in the works it's quite a list this week, so I can hear Mt. TBR sighing deeply under the weight of new books added to it. But I'll start with books that are going straight to the shelves without having to climb Mt. TBR as they have been read as ARCs:



Read ROYAL'S BRIDE for ROOB and won the ARC for SKIN GAME on Ann Aguirre's blog, read it and reviewed it on the Blog
Fantasy Romance


  • This is book 4 in the Tairen Soul series, of which I have only read the first book: LORD OF THE FADING LANDS.

Romantic Suspense


  • This is a new to me author, as far as I know these are stand alones and her third book: SLEEP NO MORE, is coming out in January 2010




  • I won HOT AS SIN in a contest over at Dear Author and it's book 2 in the Hot Shots: Men of Fire series of which I have yet to read book 1, WILD HEAT
  • THE WRONG SIDE OF DEAD is book two in the Sweet Justice series, I have yet to read a book by this author but have been collecting her trilogies from the moment the first one came out!
  • WAKING THE DEAD is the 3rd book the Mind Hunter series of which I have the other two on the TBR, waiting to be read.
  • SHOW NO FEAR is book number 7 in the Navy Seals series, a series I have also on the shelves but is still unread. Heard on Twitter that this series might be discontinued by the publisher. I still hope it won't come to that. 

Historical Romance



  • TO DESIRE A DEVIL is the final book of the Four Soldiers Series and this is finally a series I am up to date with and as soon as I'm done with my reading for ROOB I am tackling this book by one of my favorite authors. 
  • Another favorite historical romance author of mine is Jenna Petersen, WHAT THE DUKE DESIRES is the first book in a new series by her: The Billingham Bastards and I look forward to this new series!





  • MASTERED BY LOVE is the final installment of the Bastion Club, I have only read the prequel of this series so I have my work cut out for me to reach this final book of the series.
  • THE INFAMOUS ROGUE is the the first full length book of The Hawkins Brothers (there is also the ebook prequel: Mistress of Paradise), this is a spin-off series tied to the Too series and I will sound like a broken record now but still have to read that series too.
  • WITH SEDUCTION IN MIND is book 4 in the Girl-Bachelor series, another series I have but have to start reading

Paranormal Romance


You must have discovered a certain pattern by now with the books that arrived this week so I'll say upfront that these two paranormal romance books are also parts of series I haven't started reading yet, but they are occuping their spots on my shelves, patiently waiting their turn.


  • BIG BAD WOLF is an expanded and updated version of the novel previously titled, Fur Factor, I have only read a novella by Christine Warren which was part of the No Rest For the Witches anthology and was set in the Others series world. After that I bought the Others series, but I think I will reacquaint myself with Warren's writing with BIG BAD WOLF before I start the Others series. 
  • DESTINED FOR AN EARLY GRAVE is the 4th book of the Night Huntress series and you know the drill :)


What books have you received this week? And did they go straight to the reading pile or do you have to play catch up like I do? 


November 3, 2009
The old Tuesday Treasures format I initially made, doesn't go well with new lay-out and colors of my blog and as I am pressed for time at the moment because of offline life circumstances I don't have the time right now to make a new, fitting one, so I'm doing a somewhat slimmed down version of Tuesday Treasures and just pimping the books I received over the past week. Received a lot more since I did the last TT but no need to bother you with an endless list. *wink*


Contemporary Romance




Romantic Suspense




Historical Romance


Paranormal Romance

Sorry for the terrible picture and the messy state of this post but had to make the pic last night in the dark since I am at work today.

Maya Banks - Songbird

They called her their Songbird, but she was never theirs. Not in the way she wanted.

The Donovan brothers meant everything to Emily, but rejected by Greer and Taggert, she turned to Sean, the youngest. He married her for love, and she loved him, but she also loved his older brothers.

Her singing launched her to stardom. She had it all. The voice of an angel, a husband who loved her, and the adoration of millions. Until a tragedy took it all away.

Taggert and Greer grieve for their younger brother, but they’re also grieving the loss of Emmy, their songbird. They take her back to Montana, determined to help her heal and show her once and for all they want her. They’re also on a mission to help her find her voice again. Under the protective shield of their love, she begins to blossom… until an old threat resurfaces.

Now the Donovans face a fight for what they once threw away. Only by winning it—and her love—will their songbird fly again.

Lorelei James - Shoulda Been a Cowboy (Rough Riders, book 7)

...The bigger they , the harder they fall—in love...

Soldier Cameron McKay has found his niche, and it ain’t ropin’ steers and wearin’ spurs. His deputy sheriff job, plus battle injuries that ended his military career, keep him right where he wants to be: Off the ranch and away from his family’s pity. His darkest war memories are on lockdown, leaving him skeptical he’ll ever find a woman who wants a man who’s less than whole.

Domini Katzinski has had to control every aspect of her life since age eleven, when she was orphaned in the Ukraine. Watching others’ relationships crumble has convinced her to focus on the short-term and find a take-charge man to whom she can relinquish total sexual control. Cam fits the bill: gorgeous, with a brooding vulnerability no one else seems to see. Plus, he has his own handcuffs.

Once Cam gets over his surprise that sweet, shy Domini wants to be dominated, he is back to issuing orders. Their passion is as hot as a rocket-propelled grenade—and if Domini has her way, it’s a one-shot deal. Cam wants more, and launches a full-out sensual assault…until tragedy strikes, forcing him to change tactics as he tries to keep past demons from blowing their future together all to hell...

Warning: this book contains down and dirty games of good cop/bad cop, salty language, sweet 'n hot lovin', menage a trois, and hooah! a hero packin' serious heat.

Shannon Stacey - No Surrender (Devlin Group, book 3)

Don’t hold back. Never give up. If only it was that easy…

When sabotage downs their helicopter in the mountains, Gallagher finally gets the up-close and personal time he’s been craving with fellow agent Carmen Olivera. After their rescue, the saboteur’s trail sends the Devlin Group to Africa, where Carmen tries to revert back to her cold, professional self. Except Gallagher isn’t ready to let her go. Not by a long shot.

As the Group gears up to rescue a young woman held hostage in the well-guarded compound of a guerilla warlord, Carmen tries to shove her long-time attraction for Gallagher—now jacked up by one mind-blowing night—back into its mental corner. No matter what her heart says, there’s no future with him. They’re from different worlds. Not to mention the effect a failed relationship could have on the job.

But as the mission gets blown all to hell, they find the African jungle has its own, brutal way of deciding who has future at all…

Nice to meet you!

I'm a chronic (e)book hoarder and my absolute favorite genres within romance fiction are contemporary romance and romantic suspense, but I don't shy away from historical, paranormal or erotic romance either. Even the occasional (urban) fantasy romance, futuristic and sci fi romance may make it to my Mount TBR. This is my corner of the world wide web where I let you know what books I'm hoarding, reading and reviewing.
