The dangerous series: Dangerous Surrender, Dangerous Rescue, and Dangerous Secrets is available in print from Amazon. They’ve included the search inside feature. 
I’m tempted to order a whole set myself. 
PS
The ideal reading order is:
1) Dangerous Surrender–Zack and Ciara’s adventure
Along with acquiring a Kindle, I downloaded a dozen or so free, or almost, titles and at least that many samples. This is the virtual equivalent of browsing the bargain table at a brick and mortar bookstore and flipping through the first few pages of a novel that catches my eye. In the real world bookstore I return most of books I pick up to the shelf. In the virtual bookstore most of samples and freebies are quickly deleted.
I’ve noticed some differences since switching to virtual titles. Now when an author impresses me, I pay attention to who publishes them. Shopping for the latest release from a favorite writer always includes a little browsing of the other featured releases. Just like stopping to snag a new print title often leads to picking up a nearby novel.
Is this just me? Or do you surf particular publishers releases?
Most of my reading is done for free. Good thing too, since I have a serious reading addiction. The library system provides a steady stream of titles for my edification and entertainment.
In spite of the thousands of titles available free of charge, I still buy books. Not every title is available from my excellent library friends. Since I am very partial to a short list of e-published authors, I buy their latest releases directly from their publisher. Perhaps, these works will someday be available free to the thrifty library patron, but I’m too impatient to wait.
The same impatience prods me to acquire the newest release from a favorite mass market author. I also buy books I want to reread, including non-fiction. A good deal of the time when I do purchase a book. it’s one I’ve already read.
Since acquiring an e-reader I haven’t purchased a print book. Reducing the ink and paper collection was one of the major motives behind making the change to e-books for my personal reading.
The Kindle I selected offers an unparalleled selection of titles, portability, and terrific capacity. The text is easy to read. Both the size and the weight are comfortable. The things I don’t like are minor: the dead author screen covers; the bookmark feature; no easy way to flip back and forth (eventually I may catch on to using the search or go to features). Overall I find it comfortable for entertainment reading, and irritating for non-fiction (where I’m studying material rather than simply reading).
Improvements I’d like to see in my next e-reader: color, a larger screen, and easier navigation. Cheaper is always good
Tell me about your e-reader….
Last month I looked over my year-to-date reading list. Because I’m obsessive like that. 
Eighty some titles read, not counting re-reads.
Twelve of those fell into the did-not-finish category.
Six earned a damning meh rating, meaning I read the whole thing (sometimes I like dull) but I never did connect with the story and would be unlikely to give this author another chance
Fourteen were well written but not thrilling, personal preference, mood of the moment, story choices all factor into my ratings
Twenty some merited a more rating, meaning I would look for other titles by this author the next time I want something good to read
The rest were rated author, meaning I’m actively acquiring their backlist and watching for new releases
Finding a new-to-me author with a good backlist of titles is one of my favorite things. So far this year, I’ve only added one name to the short list. 
Read any good books lately?
Sometimes, I think I’m getting fussier, especially when I’ve picked up a couple of eagerly anticipated titles that failed to please in a row.
But then, I turn to the select group of authors who’ve never disappointed and my faith is restored. Julia Quinn is on my short list of reliably entertaining authors. I have a small stack of her titles, I dip into whenever I need a book I can count on to make me smile.
After considerable thought about why it is so hard to find a hundred or so pleasing titles each year, I’ve decided competition is one of the problems. My current favorites are much more wonderful than those I adored a decade ago. By the authors constantly raising their standards, and therefore my expectations, success becomes harder and harder to achieve.
Please tell me about your favorites, I always need new reading recommendations.
Finally, I read the latest Black Dagger Brotherhood installment, Lover Mine. My first reaction is disappointment.
The novel has three different story lines, a historical brotherhood episode, a paranormal investigation by an ambitious television star, and current brotherhood’s doings. After a bit of skimming, I skipped the first two, concentrating on the reason this is my favorite series, the brothers. Giving two thirds of the novel a miss is a bad sign. A worse sign, is my connection to the current characters, and those with yet untold stories, is weakening.
There are series that improve with each new release. There are others where the cast of characters never loses their appeal. Then there are those that are uneven.
Sadly, uneven is the Black Dagger Brotherhood’s best hope.
What did you think of Lover Mine?
So, what do the excruciatingly picky reader like in a Regency romance? Ms. Heyer satisfies. Of all her excellent works, The Nonesuch is one of my favorites. I say one because all of her romances merit a spot on my keeper shelves.
Quoting a like-minded Amazon reviewer:
“I really think that the whole of my adult reading life has been spent looking for something to fill in the gap left on Georgette Heyer’s death. I first read Austen in high school and discovered Heyer in my freshman year at university when someone suggested to me that she was “the next best thing to Austen”. I guess that was a truth self-evident.
I’ve read thousands of romances, sandwiched in between the serious history and biography I adore, on buses, trains, in the car, in waiting rooms, during hurried lunch hours and in bed at night to relax after another stressful, hectic day. But, really, if I am honest with myself, there are just a very, very few authors that are on my keeper shelf. Hundreds of authors have come and gone for me. Some I have dismissed after reading a chapter as too puerile, too facetious, too ill-researched, too derelict in the simple use of the English language.
Heyer, however, rarely disappointed. I adore her later books, filled with characters of great wit, insight, morality and self-knowledge who mature and come together through real life experiences – all conveyed in prose of the very highest standard. I guess that’s it – Heyer’s exquisitely wrought prose telling stories of genuine human emotional experience, all carefully and perfectly set in the Regency world – immaculately researched and painted for the eager reader.
The Nonesuch is, of course, one of my favourites – and I expect I would say that about most of her works. But Sir Waldo and Ancilla so perfectly epitomise adult love, good works and social constraints and decent moral standards that you have to love them. Village life is portrayed beautifully – so much remains the same!
Rant, rant, rant. Every time I go back to Heyer, I am demoralised when I pick up a modern “wanna be”. What to do about that?”
There are many talented, literate, living authors, I wonder pointlessly, why none of them take up the banner of the sparkling witty Regency romance?
Tessa Dare is a new to me author. One Dance With A Duke is a charming, well-crafted regency romance. Her characters are rounded and deftly portrayed. In the first quarter of the book, she surprised me–in a good way–often enough to keep me turning pages far longer into the night than I should.
Midway through the story, I grew weary of the lack of action. By this time the couple is married and the conflict between them feels much to thin to be keeping them apart. Internal monologues are a staple in many romances. They work well within the conventions of the genre. With me, a little internal dialogue goes a long way.
By the time you read this Stieg Larsson’s final installment in his thriller trilogy, The Girl Who Kicked A Hornet’s Nest will be available.
Mr. Larsson’s prose is far from pretty–translation was probably a bitch and I have the feeling he didn’t get a chance to polish his work as much as he’d have liked.
All through the first two installments, I wanted to throttle his hero for being a clueless jerk. In general Mr. Larsson, or his translator, used way too many words to describe things that I didn’t want or need to know about. And yet, I’m dying to read the final episode.
Why? His heroine, Lisbeth.
Quoting an Amazon reviewer, here’s quick sketch of the fascinating Ms. Salander: A 24-year-old computer hacker sporting an assortment of tattoos and body piercings and afflicted with Asperger Syndrome or something of the like has been under state guardianship in her native Sweden since she was thirteen. She supports herself by doing deep background investigations for Dragan Armansky, who, in turn, worries the anorexic-looking Lisbeth Salander is “the perfect victim for anyone who wished her ill.” Salander may look fourteen and stubbornly shun social norms, but she possesses the inner strength of a determined survivor. She sees more than her word processor page in black and white and despises the users and abusers of this world. She won’t hesitate to exact her own unique brand of retribution against small-potatoes bullies, sick predators, and corrupt magnates alike.
Gotta love a spunky underdog. 
So what title(s) have kept you reading way too late?
Josh Lanyon blipped across my radar a few times before I actually bought one of his titles. The first glance happened at Loose ID, where The Dark Tide’s cover caught my eye. Over at The Naughty Bits, an entertaining and information blog–two factors that don’t always mesh–Mr. Lanyon’s covers flickered by on the top banner week after week. And then Mandi at Smexy Books (book reviews and more) recommended his stories, especially the Adrien English series.
First, let remove the element of suspense from this review. The entire series is carefully preserved for rereading on my virtual keeper shelf. Like most series, the five books are best read in order: Fatal Shadows; A Dangerous Thing; The Hell You Say; Death of A Pirate King; and The Dark Tide. Unlike most series, each book is better than the last, which is flat out amazing considering that the first is pretty damn enchanting.
On Mr. Lanyon’s website he describes his work as: “A distinct voice in gay fiction, multi-award-winning author JOSH LANYON has been writing gay mystery, adventure and romance for over a decade. In addition to numerous short stories, novellas, and novels, Josh is the author of the critically acclaimed Adrien English series, including The Hell You Say, winner of the 2006 USABookNews awards for GLBT Fiction. Josh is an Eppie Award winner and a three-time Lambda Literary Award finalist.”
The above is fine, as far as it goes. Personally, I’d drop the adjective gay. Then the copy would read even more accurately. The Adrien English series is romantic suspense; action packed, gripping, and poignant. The characters are sharp, the dialogue is crisp, the conflict intense, and the pacing taut.
What are you waiting for? Sally forth and buy the books.
