Yes. I enjoyed book six, but keep in mind it's only half the story (part 1), and the second part hasn't come out yet.

I did, months ago, but frankly I cannot remember anything. I think it did not have much of an impact on me - which means that it was overall enjoyable, without big errors or big positive moments.

I have read it and I remember it as being one of the better ones - not top of the heap, but definitely better than average.

Anyone read "a Helping of Love"? It's m/m. The writing so far seems mediocre, but I'm getting a strong sense the author is a dev.

What I do remember is that I expected it to be very hot and sexual because of its cover, and it was quite normal (which was a plus for me, because I don't like too explicit books).

I recently read "The Rancher's Secret Wife" by Brenda Minton with a blind MC. I thought it was an above average story for the well-used secret wife theme. I really enjoyed it. No obvious mistakes or huh? moments regarding the disability. On the dev side it had an above average number of dev moments (for me at least)

I just finished reading Billie Letts' The Honk and Holler Opening Soon.... I absolutely loved it I think this is one of the stories where the author manages to paint such a lively picture of the characters, the setting, the situations that I couldn't help but feel as if I was there and part of the evolving story. One of those books you're sad to put down and where you hope unreasonably that there will be a sequel, not because the story is unfinished, but because you want to continue to be part of the everyday lives of these people you've come to know. The story is set in 1985 and Caney Paxton is a 32 year old Vietnam vet who spent the last twelve years inside his Diner "The Honk and Holler Opening Soon" in a small town in Oklahoma; the Diner he had built during his time in rehab after returning from Vietnam a low-level paraplegic. He moved in and opened immediately after his release form hospital and hasn't wheeled his chair across the threshold since. Caney's business is on the decline, surviving mostly on the small number of regulars, some surly, some quirky, until just before Christmas two newcomers arrive and shake things up: Vena Takes Horse, a Crow Indian woman carrying an injured dog in a blanket and looking for an opportunity to make a few dollars until her dog is well enough to leave again, and Bui Khanh a Vietnamese cook who speaks almost no English and who can't cook American food too save his life. Among the eclectic cast of minor characters a tender love story unfolds between Vena and Caney, bringing him out of his shell, until, driven by her old demons, Vena takes to the road once more.

I have literally just seen this book in amazon and thought I would paste the synopsis here I case anyone was intersted
Far from Perfect (Perfect, Indiana: Book One)
By: Barbara Longley Category: Romance
Fans of Jodi Thomas and Susan Elizabeth Phillips will fall in love with this heartwarming and emotional tale of redemption, as two troubled souls find each other on a journey toward healing.
Noah Langford narrowly survived the roadside bombing in Iraq that cost him his leg and forever his peace of mind. When his stepbrother Matt dies in a car accident, the loss feels like the final blow to Noah's shattered soul. But then he learns about the girlfriend and baby Matt had never mentioned, and suddenly Noah has a new mission...
Ceejay Lovejoy was nineteen and pregnant when her boyfriend walked out, disappearing from her life just like her parents had. Since that day, Ceejay has devoted herself to giving her daughter a better life, avoiding any man who could threaten that security--until the day Noah Langford shows up on her doorstep. His gentle spirit has an unexpected effect on Ceejay's guarded heart, tempting her to take one last chance on love. But when a painful secret comes to light, it threatens to break the fragile bond growing between them...and to destroy a love powerful enough to heal them both.

I have read quite a lot of the books suggested here in the last months, incl. Mission Canyon. Count me in for the Jesse Blackburn fanclub!! Now I am wondering if its worth reading the other Evan Delany books too - is there enough Jesse in there?

Oh, there's a ton of Jesse in all of the Evan Delaney books, although I'd say maybe the first three have the most.
As mentioned elsewhere, though, the brief mention of Jesse in The Nightmare Thief (a Jo Beckett/Evan Delaney combo) is a total cop-out and very disappointing. Booooo.
