Kinley MacGregor (Sherrilyn Kenyon) - Taming the Scotsman

I actually finished this book last week but don't have much to say about it.
FYI: I read this ages ago, but it saved as a draft.  Don't know why I never published it till now.

Sherrilyn Kenyon - One Silent Night

It is almost 10:00 and I’ve only a little over two hours to complete this task before my period of life without romance novels.  I’ve been surrounded by them for so long, since 2006, that it’s hard to believe I’ve ever lived without them!

New books!

Two of the local Borders stores around here are closing.  If you're an avid bookshopper like I am, you've probably heard that Borders went bankrupt and are closing most of its stores.  Luckily, the Borders that is down the street from my house is NOT closing.

However, I went to the one in Downtown earlier today with my bff to take advantage of the sales.  I bought eight new books, and here they are:

Sherrilyn Kenyon - Totally got the book signing accomplished!

You know...I haven't read a romance novel since the Twilight Pre-party last June.

But I totally got Sherrilyn Kenyon's autographs on my books.  All five of them.  : )  And she gave me a sixth - a signed copy of her Dark-Hunters manga!

Comic Con just got 10x better

Sherrilyn Kenyon will be appearing there!  I'm pretty sure she did last year but I didn't know who she was until I started reading her MacAllister series.  Thank God I'll be done with it for a while after I finish the review for Taming the Scotsman (which is in Drafts right now).  But this time I have a game plan.  Instead of getting Twilight swag this year - well more like, aside from getting Twilight swag, I'm also gonna hang out at Sherrilyn's booth and get freebies there.  Hopefully autographs for my books as well.  That means I need some new Sharpies.

Finished another book

But I don't want to write a review just yet.  It's another Kinley MacGregor book and right after this, I'll be reading and reviewing an oldie-but-goodie in my library.

I have seventy-plus books to go through

So how am I gonna pull this off?

I've been thinking about it, and while I do have plenty of books to go through, I still have many older ones to review.  After this next Kinley MacGregor/Sherrilyn Kenyon book, Taming the Highlander, I'm going to select one of my oldies and write about it here.

Bros before hos! Final take: Claiming the Highlander

As with most romance novels, this one pulled at my heartstrings, but it made me also laugh about the sheer absurdity of some things.

Continuing on with "Claiming the Highlander"

So all the guys of the two clans want is a woman to warm their bed, make their food, take care of the kids, and clean the house?

FUCK no.  I ain't doing that shit for ANYBODY!

The other thing is that Braden is trying to charm Maggie by calling her "baby" and stuff like that when he's not even in love with her.  It sickens me.  I wonder how I'm gonna get through this book but at least I'm continuing on where I left off.  It doesn't help that she's falling under his spell because she's been in love with him since she was a child, for saving her...on many occasions.

Not the first time I've seen this - the girl falls for the guy when she was a kid and then swears that he's gonna be her hero for the rest of her life?  Does that happen in real life?  It didn't for me!

And it's not like Maggie's got it easy, either.  The ladies are desperate to get back home to take care of their stuff (I'm not sure if they miss being ordered around by their men) and their kids, so they're getting a bit antsy in front of Maggie.  As for the guys, they tied up Lochlan (the clan laird and Braden's brother) as well as Maggie's brothers as hostages.

Seriously, is this how people dealt with situations in the olden days?  I mean one husband here in the book already bitch slapped his wife for refusing to come home!

What am I working on? Plus, two new books.

I am currently reading Claiming the Highlander by Kinley MacGregor/Sherrilyn Kenyon. As far as I know, I think her regular name is Sherrilyn Kenyon, since that's the pen name she uses for most of her titles as well as her website, obviously SherrilynKenyon.com.
