Feelin' Pretty Smart!

And why, you might ask, do I feel smart today? Because two of my all-time favorite authors, Lucy Monroe and JoAnn Ross, have hit the bestseller lists in a big way this week!

See, I know they're amazing writers, and it's now readily apparent that the book-buying world agrees with me. It's always cool to be just a little ahead of the curve... :)

Anyway, here are some details on their latest success stories.

Lucy's His Royal Love-Child debuted at number one on the Borders Group Series Romance bestseller's list in its first week of release. It has also been chosen as the June read for eHarlequin's Reading with Hosty. I read the first book in the trilogy (The Prince's Virgin Wife) and absolutely loved it, so I can't wait to get my hands on this one. And if you're like me and haven't found a copy yet, better get cracking -- it's already sold out on eHarlequin!

The story:

Danette Michaels knew the rules when she became Principe Marcello Scorsolini’s secret mistress. There would be no marriage, no future, no public acknowledgement. All she’d have was his hard Sicilian body and his undivided passion. At the time, it was enough.

But Danette can’t be a dirty little secret any longer. She wants all or nothing – and that means their affair is over. Until a pregnancy test changes everything…

And what about JoAnn Ross, you say? Well, her latest, Impulse, has managed to hit several bestseller's lists in its first week on sale! It's currently #2 on the Waldenbooks (non-series) romance bestseller list, #6 mass market Waldenbooks overall, #46 on USA Today, and (drum roll please!) #28 on the NYT bestseller's list. Way to go, JoAnn!

And what's this book about?

A haunted man... A hunted woman... Together they must stop a madman before it's too late.

Hazard, Wyoming, is a quiet mountain town, where there's snow on the ground from October until June, the wind blows all the time, and nothing much ever happens. But that's all about to change. Because, just when the wind suddenly stops, a killer comes to Hazard -- a hunter as deadly and primal as evil itself.

When Sheriff Will Bridger sees the murdered teenage girl, it's the worst scene he's ever witnessed. But there's worse to come. Much, much worse. While the nights grow longer and the winter snow gets deeper, the violence intensifies. As does the blazing passion between Will and late-night radio host Faith Prescott. Harboring secrets as potentially dangerous as his own, Faith knows all too well the dark side of the human heart. She can help Will. If he'll only let her.

It won't be easy, though. The man who was once the boy raised by wolves is no ordinary serial killer. Fortunately, Will Bridger is no ordinary cop.

So there you have it! Two great reads by two great authors, blazing up the charts as we speak! Congrats to Lucy and JoAnn!
