First, let me just say that that cover is a total plot-tease. It shows a woman&#8217;s belly, with a nice little round to it, and her hand just so&#8230; The series is about a woman trying to get pregnant. You are plot-teasing me, you stupid cover art!

To be perfectly honest, I&#8217;m going to speed through this review, and #3, Seduced by Moonlight. These books slam into each other and it gets hard to pull them apart.
Anyway, we now know the plot arc for the whole series. Merry&#8217;s aunt, Queen Andais, wants her bloodline to continue on <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/03/a-caress-of-twilight/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

My mummy picked up one of the books in this series, and must have liked what she saw. She didn&#8217;t read it, she went and ordered all eight books. Mummy hates starting a series that she can&#8217;t finish, or at least be able to read a big ol&#8217; chunk <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/03/a-kiss-of-shadows/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

For the Feminist Review
I&#8217;m a huge fan of Tracy Chevalier. Like a lot of people, I began with Girl with a Pearl Earring, and have since made my way through all but one of her other books. So of course I leapt at the chance to sample her newest offering.

Graceling was a gift, from someone who swore it was excellent. It should be, it has the endorsement of Tamora Pierce. It is a good book, with a good world, and enough momentum to keep one reading. I won&#8217;t say I adored it, but it was very enjoyable.

I don&#8217;t know what it is about JR Ward, but her books are amazing. Once begun, it is impossible to stop. Everything else gets put on hold. And that took a serious chunk out of my work this week, as this beautiful, beautiful volume is over 600 pages.

As someone who tends toward fantasy, I&#8217;ve heard over and over again that in order to make the fantastic seem believable, you have to ground it in the real. I never expected to find a book, any book, that would seem to mimic my own life so closely.

Kate Perry is a pretty kickass chick. Her childhood dream was to be a ninja, and she&#8217;s now a seventh degree Kung Fu blackbelt. The serious study required in kung fu appears to have colored her novel, giving the &#8216;paranormal&#8217; elements of this paranormal romance a more grounded feel than most Asian-inspired material <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/02/chosen-by-desire-3/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
