I suppose I will find myself in dire financial straits if I don’t find the will to curb my clicking tendencies when it comes to ebooks and audiobooks. I preordered The Windflower in ebook format many months ago as this book is so much loved by romance readers. I didn”t know at the time it was being released in audioformat as well. And new titles by Loretta Chase and Joanna Bourne narrated by Kate Reading and Kirsten Potter must be fantastic as well. I never read anything by Moriah Densley but have read great things of her books. Looking forward to your reviews!
Bea – I reviewed one of Ms Densley’s books (Song for Sophia) for All About Romance, and gave it a B. It had a few small flaws, but was otherwise very good. It’s a ridiculously cheap ebook on Amazon, so won’t break the bank! King of Threadneedle Street features one of the secondary characters from Sophia, so I’m really looking forward to it.
What an honor to be on a list with so many of my favorite authors! Thanks for taking a look at KING OF THREADNEEDLE STREET, Caz <3 And I also have a twitchy click finger, Bea. It's hard to resist, I know!
