Speaking of authors included in Bowman's Inn, it's only appropriate that I mention RA Winter's series Kiowa in Love. It starts with Little Sparrow which follows Karen as she returns home for the holidays and meets Richard, a man she ended up in bed with and vowed it would be a one time thing. When she arrives home, low and behold there is Richard! What are the odds. Thanksgiving turns into a fiasco with a multitude of personalities and Grandfather who tries to play matchmaker for his granddaughter. I love this series, I love this author. She writes in a way that is beautiful and graceful, with a hint of naughtiness. This novel does not focus on the sexual aspect of a relationship but rather the bond one needs to build. The emotional intimacy rather than the physical. Every time RA comes out with a new book or story, I find I have to jump on it to add to my collection.
Jacob is the veterinarian for a circus, Marlena is the star of the show. When the circus takes on an elephant Marlena becomes the rider of the animal and Jacob must train her. A bond forms between the man and woman as well as the humans and animal. This is a romantic story with a little bit more added into it. This was one of those books that is difficult to put down. I know it's not as popular now, but I still think it was a fantastic novel to read and a great movie to watch (though I prefer the book). It is one of those books that you find yourself on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next with Jacob and Marlena as well as with the elephant. The characters are one that will stick with you well after finishing the novel. Rosie is as much a character as the humans were and provides humor and heart warming moments.
The next is a series: the Dark Hunter series by Sherrilynn Kenyon. Any one of these books would make for a great read. I will say that the earlier novels are much better than some of the more recent ones. The series revolves around a group of immortal warriors who live to serve Artemis and protect the world. Each book focuses on a different hunter and him finding the love of his life and his freedom from Artemis. What I love about this series is that it adds an interesting twist to traditional mythology that I am used to. While there are some sex scenes, a lot of the books are action base and develop the relationships to show why each scene is so steamy and hot. I have read just about every novel in this series and find myself completely addicted to it. Even though I didn't like the last novel, I find myself wanting to read more.
This is one that is still on my to read list. From the synopsis it is about a college girl who find herself drawn to the bad boy Travis who is tattooed, spends his nights fighting and charming women across campus. he ends up making a bet with Abby that if she wins he's abstinent for a month if he wins she lives with him for a month. Interesting bet. I am not sure what the book holds or what type of romance novel this is. I am interested in seeing what it holds, and look forward to checking it out, so you may see a review of it in the future! If you happen to have read it or read it soon, let me know what you think of it.
There are many great novels out there that it's hard to touch upon all of them and give an adequate recommendation for novels of any genre. These are just a few that I have enjoyed and one that I am looking forward to reading. What are some romance novels you would recommend? Leave your recommendations in the comments.
Happy Reading!
