Says me. <br><br>Jill: Probably Courting Miss Hattie and Dirty. I don't think I've ever really blogged about Bad Moon Rising. I really need to reread that one.....<br><br>Kate: I'm determined to drag readers (kicking and screaming if need be) over to the dark side of American historicals. Heh.<br><br>Jessica: I went with Dirty because it was Hart's debut for Spice, and it literally knocked the wind right out of me. I loved Broken just as much, but Dirty edges it out just because that was how I "discovered" her.Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-47640828121162059492009-10-17T04:56:16.627-07:002009-10-17T04:56:16.627-07:00This is so great!

I've done my part. I've read Dreaming Of You, Ride the Fire, and both Judith James novels. Frankly, you owe me :)<br><br>Phyl: Ooooh, you need to read Breathless! Fantastic, super-duper librarian heroine. I mean - she's just awesome.<br><br>Mollie: These lists tend to be brutal for everybody.<br><br>Lusty & Everybody Else Who Mentioned It: This list is quite heavy on American historicals (not just the westerns) because my English historical burn out was so <i>bad</i> for a few years. I literally could not bring myself to read them. At all. I just started getting back into them thanks to short stories - but I was a strict starvation diet for about 3 years there.....<br><br>Leslie: Eschenburg only published two books, then dropped off the map. I'm hoping she's still OK, and that the breast cancer didn't come back on her....<br><br>Nath: You're bigger into contemporaries than I am - that's probably why :)<br><br>Evangeline: Wasn't that an awesome book? I was sort of nervous when I read it, because I love Breathless so much - but honestly, I had nothing to worry about. The emotional intensity in that story took my breath away.<br><br>Maili: I know! How do you pick one Morsi and one Osborne? You almost have to flip a coin.<br><br>Karen: They're my favorites!<br><br>Rowena: I just tend to naturally gravitate towards the American historicals.....<br><br>Katie: I loved Bad Moon Rising. Loved it! I need to do a reread to make sure it holds up. Part of the reason I loved it so much was how "shocking" it was at the time it was published. It was really dark, and hello? A heroine who used to be a prostitute? You should have seen the message boards at the time. Some readers completely lost their sh*t just thinking about the possibility....Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-10345409517158874932009-10-16T11:37:27.289-07:002009-10-16T11:37:27.289-07:00Wow.

It's also the only book on your list I've read. But I'm adding Bad Moon Rising to my TBR pile stat (we'll see how long it takes me to actually read it), and probably the Megan Hart too.Katie Mackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10094236956287511024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-91253482605058520322009-10-16T11:23:42.192-07:002009-10-16T11:23:42.192-07:00Holy goodness Wendy, I haven't read ANY of the...Holy goodness Wendy, I haven't read ANY of the books on your list.

I think I liked the other Great Fire of Chicago book more. The one with the matchstick factory? <br><br>Never heard of Megan Hart and her book, so will give this one a try.
