Author: Nora Roberts

Page 56 Sentences 1-4: (I used sentence 5-7 last time)

"Nobody's come in but you." A girl with a short wedge of black hair sent him a sultry smile. "But I can be blond."

"Maybe some other time."

Beneath the Skin

Beneath the Skin is the third book in The Maker's Song series by Adrian Phoenix. This one was really good just like the other two. The ending leaves you hanging and really anxious for the next one...at least it did for me. Here is the summary from the back cover:

CHAOS CONTROLS HIS FUTURE. ONE MORTAL WOMAN COULD BE HIS SALVATION. THE COUNTDOWN TO ANNIHILATION WILL BEGIN WITH DANTE'S CHOICE...

THE FATE OF THREE WORLDS...

The dark pieces of vampire rock star Dante Baptiste's past are violently emerging, and it is only a matter of time before the Fallen discover he is the creawdwr they have sought for thousands of years. The destruction he left behind in Oregon threatens to reveal his identity as Fallen Maker and True Blood, exposing the young nightkind to shadowy predators - mortal and supernatural - who will do whatever it takes to win his favor...or destroy him.

RESTS IN DANTE'S HANDS.

When beautiful FBI special agent Heather Wallace went AWOL on assignment, she chose irresistible Dante over the shady government forces that now stalk them both. Heather has her own secrets of the past to uncover, but she is also the only one who can hold her nightkind lover together when his dangerous quest for the truth threatens to send him over the edge. And as she and Dante fight for their survival, she realizes they must work together to protect their future - before his mysterious destiny tears them apart...

Title: Dear John

Author: Nicholas Sparks

Sentence 5-7:

...That's why I like riding, too."

I'd shown up a few minutes earlier. The best waves were usually early in the morning, and it was one of those clear, blue-sly days portending heat that meant the beach would be packed again.

Title: Blue Smoke

Author: Nora Roberts

Page 56 sentence 5-7:

He searched the house, all the way to the third floor, and all the way down again where he circled both the front and back yards. He found blondes, he found curls. But he never found the one who'd made the music stop.

I've read this book once or twice already but it's been a while. I forgot how good it was and since I don't currently have any new books, I think I'll read this one next...again. Hee Hee

In the Blood

Finished In the Blood (book 2 of The Maker's Song series) by Adrian Phoenix. Really liked it just like the first one (A Rush of Wings). Also like the first one, this is definitely an adult only book (sex, blood, torture, murder, etc.). The first book took place mostly in New Orleans, LA but this one only starts off there then moves mostly between Washington and Oregon. It still has a good bit of Cajun french words and phrases (and thankfully the glossary in the back) which I really liked learning. Here is the summary from the back cover:

A QUEST AS SEDUCTIVE AS HIS KISS, AS UNCONTROLLABLE AS HIS THIRST, AS UNFORGIVING AS HIS DETERMINATION TO PROTECT ONE MORTAL WOMAN AT ANY COST...

DANTE LIVES.

Vampire. Rock star. Begotten son of a fallen angel. Dante Baptiste continues to search for the truth about his past. When his band Inferno comes to Seattle on tour, FBI Special Agent Heather Wallace is drawn back to the beautiful, dangerous nightkind. But new enemies lurk in the shadows, closer than Heather and Dante think...and even deadlier than they fear.

DESTINY UNFOLDS.

Shady government forces have pledged to eliminate all loose ends from Project Bad Seed -- and Heather and Dante are at the top of the list. Elsewhere, the Fallen gather in Gehenna, intent on finding their long-awaited savior. And a damaged and desperate adversary, with powers as strange and perilous as Dante's own, plots to use Dante as a pawn in a violent scheme for revenge. Only one of these lethal forces holds the key that could finally unlock the secret of Dante's birth and the truth of his existence...or destroy him completely.
