Stuff I've read in the last couple of weeks

White Tiger by Tamora Pierce: I've read pretty much everything else she's ever written, and when I found out about this through reading her blog, I couldn't resist. It's a six comic compilation about White Tiger, or Angela del Toro, the niece of the former White Tiger, who inherits the amulets that gave him his powers. While discovering her powers and learning to use them, she manages to balance dealing with world-wide criminal concerns with keeping her local neighborhood cleaned up. She's a really interesting and well-rounded character, and I hope to find out whether or not she continues to show a presence in the Daredevil comics.
Luke's Runaway Bride by Kate Bridges: This was kind of lame. Too much Stockholm Syndrome for me.
Shades of the Past by Kathleen Kirkwood: I found the heroine and the writing style so annoying I couldn't make it past page 50 or so. The heroine kept experiencing these cold breezes no one else did. Way to fake dramatic attention!
Blackstone's Bride by Bronwyn Williams: I enjoyed this. The heroine had problems, but also had spunk, and the hero was also a believable rounded character.
The Drifter by Lisa Plumley: The plot of this is kind of amusing, but the heroine is annoying.
Scoundrel's Daughter by Margo Maguire: This was very reminiscent of Indiana Jones. There was a little bit of actual magic at the end, which seemed out of place. The characters had good reasons for their misunderstanding and lack of communication.
McKinnon's Bride by Sharon Harlow: What happens when you meet someone you like but he's lied to you about your brother's safety? This was pretty decent.
Lord Stanhope's Proposal by Jessica Benson: This was really farcical and funny and cute.
The Notorious Marriage by Nicola Cornick: This is the sequel to Lady Allerton's Wager, and I again enjoyed it except for all of the !!!!'s.
Adam's Promise by Julieanne MacLean: This was well-written but I hate stories where the guy loves both sisters.
Montana Legend by Jillian Hart: I really liked this one. Both people have kids, and the woman is remarkably stubborn about getting involved again, and the guy doesn't want to either, and there is a disagreement between the guy and the woman's uncle about land.
The Other Bride by Lisa Bingham: Two women trade places as one travels out west and the other stays in New England. Turns out the one who was supposed to be in New England is being hunted. This was ok - I'd like to get the sequel.
The Angel of Devil's Camp by Lynna Banning: Too sappy for me - annoying woman finally wins through to heart of wounded ex-soldier.
Beauty and the Baron by Deborah Hale: Faking a betrothal is always interesting. This did have a lot of Beauty and the Beast feeling to it, but went a bit beyond that with the tangled relationships, especially towards the end.
