Oooh I can’t wait to hear your good news!

It took me a while to pick them up but once I did I read the first four one after the other. JR Ward writes wonderful male characters. Rachael - nothing like a little suspense. :wink: Jane – yes, I’d call JR Ward’s books dark. It took me a while to pick them up but once I did I read the first four one after the other.

I enjoy darker paranormals, just as I like darker suspense novels. I love Colleen Gleason's Gardella Vampire Chronicles series. I haven't read JR Ward yet, but I've been hearing a lot about her books. I'm assuming her books of are of a darker nature. Can’t wait to hear your news.

I much prefer the British humor, which is what we grew up with. It's interesting because I'll watch some of the US comedies and I don't get any of it. Humor is such a personal thing and it's obviously regional as well. Hi Sunny - thank you! I'm crossing my fingers that Plan B works too. :grin: Kathleen - it's funny. I like some of Katie Macallister's books but some I just don't get. The Aisling Grey ones are my favorites. Amy - exactly. That's my theory. And sometimes we just take a risk on the market, and it doesn't pan out. That was one of my rejections in a nutshell. I knew it was a longshot. :smile: No problem. We all have personal hot buttons when it comes to our reading. Gabriele – I think the US humor is quite different to what we’re used to.

But I'm coming from the historical fiction and Fantasy corner and don't like contemporary settings that much, so what I do want is a paranormal twist to the world.
