Do you think that Santa Claus has had an heart attack reading my wish letter? :-))) Well I have added the last two books to mix a bit the lot...

And now, from what book I have to start?

Aw - you are sweet to get two of my anthos. I am very proud of the Where the Boys Are one.

Pretty covers APART from the Love in the Lock up!!!

:)

Ehm, yes, Love in a Lock-up is not a so pretty cover. What a shame... well but I'm sure it will be a beautiful anthology and you have a lot of good names with you in it! Elisa

That should keep you going for a few days. :-)

Actually I have just read a lot of it in ebook format. But I want them also in print format!!! I'm a bit maniac... Elisa

Hopefully, Santa gives me a goodie box like that this year--! I've read quite a few of those books and they're great. :D

I can't wait to see what you think of "All Through the Night". I'm wishing Ms.Brockmann a lot of success with that title because I think it'll promote the genre of m/m romance with readers who are more familiar with the traditional het stuff. But...I wasn't too crazy about some of the dialog, especially between the male characters. There's just something about a seasoned, mature FBI agent going, "Ew!" that felt a little silly. :-P

[elisa-rolle.livejournal.com]

Yes, I just read a review that say that the interaction between the two male characters it's not so satisfying. Seems that Suzanne Brockmann has kept the brake a bit. Elisa

*nodsnods* I was disappointed with that, too. :((

Thank you!!

I like very much your story and even if I have just read it in ebook, I have no doubt to buy it also in print when possible. Elisa
