And yet I love the fantasy in romance novels. Those guys might be millionaires and have groupies throwing themselves at them, but they are actually grounded and willing to commit to one woman. I've loved some of Rachel Gibson's (I adore See Jane Score) and SEP's, and I'm always looking for more. Glad to hear you are enjoying the Wen Spencer!Rosariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015659149421085931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730322.post-71714576182829593742014-04-05T16:54:53.266+01:002014-04-05T16:54:53.266+01:00Since I'm the most unathletic person in the wo...Since I'm the most unathletic person in the world, and actually get quite hostile when people start using sports analogies as a template for behaviour in the workplace, I'm surprised that I do like some of these romances. Clearly I'm totally shallow - it must be the hard bodies. I really like Rachel Gibson's hockey series, Susan Elizabeth Phillips' football series ( although each of these has some really squick moments) , Meg Maguire's MMA series and a few of Jill Shalvis' baseball books. You may have already read a lot of these, I can't remember if I've seen your reviews. Bourne's book for Adrian was a a bit harder going for me than her earlier ones, mostly because of the jumping around in time, but it was still great to see Adrian's HEA. I've started the Wen Spencer and am quite enjoying it so far, thanks for the recommendation.Fernandenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730322.post-46085520387143479692014-04-05T09:48:45.509+01:002014-04-05T09:48:45.509+01:00Hi Fernande!

I'm rereading her Ukiah Oregon series at the moment, and she's great. As for Bourne, I still haven't read Adrian's book, so I think that might be next!Rosariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015659149421085931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730322.post-85263235719988539252014-04-04T16:12:18.711+01:002014-04-04T16:12:18.711+01:00Hi Rosario, thanks for the recommendations earlier...Hi Rosario, thanks for the recommendations earlier this week; I've added a number of them to my wish list (sports romances!), and I've just borrowed the Wen Spencer title which sounds really intriguing. I read Sarah Mayberry's new book yesterday and really enjoyed it; I look forward to your review. I had the same reservations as you did about Marguerite in Compass Rose, but Bourne writes so well and Doyle and Adrian are so charming and interesting, I know I'll reread it a number of times.<br />Fernandenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730322.post-39271272871160276492014-03-31T22:03:41.060+01:002014-03-31T22:03:41.060+01:00Thanks for letting me know, Ros, will update that!...Thanks for letting me know, Ros, will update that!
