Dirty Little Secret is a weekly meme hosted by the ladies over at Under the Covers to get to know other bloggers and our readers more intimately by asking them a question hoping to reveal their dirty little secrets. This weeks question:
What books have recently made you cry?
I get a little misty eyed over a lot of the books I read but two really got me choked up recently...
Karen Marie Moning's the Immortal Highlander and Robyn Carr's A Virgin River Christmas. Kinda random and totally different styles but amazing books. They'd have me laughing one second and then completely bawling like a baby the next. The ending of the Immortal Highlander. Pfew. Yeah. Total mess. And Carr's book just about did me in. I had to put it down a couple of times because I so teary eyed I couldn't see the words anymore. The emotional pain and trauma the heroine/hero are dealing with [the death of her husband and his best friend] was just staggering and so well written. Damn. I'm getting all teared up again just thinking about them. Fantastic books/series/authors.

He really surprised the hell out of me. Took me months after finishing the one before to finally pick up his book. Just wasn't a fan of his but damn if he didn't just floor me.
DeleteI remember reading Immortal Highlander and really liking it but I cannot for the life of me remember the ending.

Ha. I was ducking and covering till just about a month ago. They're so freaking good though I'm hooked. Every single one's had me in tears at some point. Amazing writing.
DeleteImmortal Highlander is the only book of that series I havent read. It's on my TBR, but for some reason I never got to it. :/ Guess I should get on it.

Oh yeah! Adam Black was fantastic! I really wasn't looking all that forward to his book but it blew me away. Can't believe how long I put it off!
DeleteI love the Immortal Highlander. I love her Fever series but I wish she'd go back and write more about these hot and sexy highlanders!
