5 for Friday - September 14

Another week has come and gone and I am just not getting enough quality reading time in lately.  As I write this, I am about 75% through with The Burning Bush by Kenya Wright. It's reminding me of how much I enjoyed Fire Baptized! But I think it is only the second or third book I have read all week.  Life just keeps getting in the way!  Here's hoping things slow down a bit next week... I've got a ton of great stuff in the queue.

5. Just a few more weeks until the release of Fury's Kiss, book three in the Dorina Basarab series by Karen Chance. I really enjoy her Cassie Palmer books and I keep telling myself that I am going to get started on these spinoff books one of these days.  Anyway, the book trailer is out. Take a look.


Fury's Kiss is out October 2nd.

4. Historical romance author Sara MacLean has revealed the cover for her next book, One Good Earl Deserves a Lover.

The second in the incredible new Rules of Scoundrels series from New York Times bestselling author Sarah MacLean. Lady Philippa Marbury is odd. The bespectacled, brilliant fourth daughter of the Marquess of Needham and Dolby cares more for books than balls, flora than fashion and science than the season. Nearly engaged to Lord Castleton, Pippa wants to explore the scandalous parts of London she's never seen before marriage. And she knows just who to ask: the tall, charming, quick-witted bookkeeper of The Fallen Angel, London's most notorious and coveted gaming hell, known only as Cross.

Like any good scientist, Pippa's done her research and Cross's reputation makes him perfect for her scheme. She wants science without emotion - the experience of ruination without the repercussions of ruination. And who better to provide her with the experience than this legendary man? But when this odd, unexpected female propositions Cross, it's more than tempting . . . and it will take everything he has to resist following his instincts - and giving the lady precisely what she wants.

I liked the first book in this series, A Rogue by Any Other Name, so I am looking forward to this one.  One Good Earl Deserves a Lover is set to release on January 29th.

3. Another cover reveal... this one on Larissa Ione's Rogue Rider.


How hot is Reseph, y'all? This book is really good! And I'm already excited for Reaver's book in 2013!! Rogue Rider, book four in the Lords of Deliverance series, releases November 20th.

2. Sons of Anarchy returned this week, to kick off its fifth season.  This is such an amazing show!! Jax was not naked this week. He didn't even take off his shirt. But I was surprised to discover just how much I enjoyed watching Jimmy Smits get busy.  He has either a really nice ass or a really good body double.  Who knew?


Of course, the real scene stealers this week were Tig and Harold Perrineau's new character.  I sat on my sofa with my mouth hanging open when he threw that cigar! Holy shit! This show shies away from nothing.  It amazes and astounds me. It kicks me in the gut. And sometimes Jax is in the shower.  If you are not watching, you must hit up NetFlix right now!! 

1. And finally... God, I love YouTube.  Seriously.  Jon Hamm.  Commando.  Wow.


There are no more words.

XOXO,
Jen

I wish that I was only on my third book this week! I don't even think I finished one. :(

Fury's Kiss - can't wait. I've kind of given up on the Cassie Palmer series because I find the whole time travel thing too confusing, but I love Dory.

I wish the 4th season would post to Netflix already, I'm going through Jax withdrawal. Wish I had cable so I could keep up with it weekly!

Goodness gracious that cover for Reseph is BEAUTIFUL!

Fabulous 5 for Friday! & I'm totally feelin' you on book time. Not enough hours in a day!
