Friday 56: Night Shift from the Night Tales Collection

I found this meme from Laurel's blog last month hosted by Tonya at Storytime with Tonya and Friends and figured I'd give this meme a second try.


Rules:
* Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like) along with these instructions on your blog or (if you do not have your own blog) in the comments section of this blog.
*Post a link along with your post back to this blog.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.

HAPPY FRIDAY!
 
Early this week I started reading the first Novel (NIGHT SHIFT) from the Night Tales novel collection by Nora Roberts and literally on page 690 pouring over the 4th novel of the collection (Night Smoke). Following our Friday 56 rules, I turned to page 56 on NIGHT SHIFT and located the fifth sentence. My eyes flickered in awestruck reading this...

Angry humiliation rippled through her. Cursing him,she dragged his mouth to hers and poured herself into the kiss.

I'll leave the rest for you to find out...
 

NIGHT SHIFT is an intriguing story about Cilla O'Roarke as the voice of the night hours during her deejay shift. A stalker forces her to share her evenings with devastatingly handsome police detective Boyd Fletcher. I personally like this story not just because I enjoyed the romance between the h/h, but because of the page turner suspense our dear author applies into the story. The plot with a twist of mystery mixed with passionate scenes presents an element of an ideal novel to read.
 
I think I'm in for a real treat ending the day with the last few chapters of Night Smoke. And then by sundown I'll be heading a mysterious journey starting with THIS MAGIC MOMENT, still by my fav Nora Roberts.

It's Monday What are you reading?

It's Monday! What are you reading? is hosted by Shiela @ book journey -- where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week.

I have finished reading several novels this week but have been too busy to post some sort of reviews -- including feeling lazy and tired all the time!

Reading the BRIDE ASSIGNMENT by Leigh Michaels was more of a curiousity for me knowing th author is my current teacher. I bought it from Amazon and read for the entire night. The story was ordinary but the writing was good with some intriguing parts toward the end, enough to make my evening entertained.

SAVOR THE MOMENT by Nora Roberts was something I've been waiting to read for awhile now and finally I've started reading this past Tuesday. I love the story of Laurel but wasn't much impressed with the Hero (Del). Roberts' unique voice and detailed descriptions are as usual the selling point for me. I can't wait for the next novel about Parker's story...

And because I'm such a big fan of NR, I started reading the NIGHT SHIFT by Nora Roberts, the first book in the Night Tales. I love the story about Cilla O'Roarke, a radio deejay during a night radio show. She has a stalker and police detective Boyd Fletcher came to her rescue -- to help solve the mystery and eventually falls for Cilla.

I skipped the NIGHT SHADOW because honestly I wasn't impressed with the characters on the first few chapters and didn't feel the Roberts kind of magic I quickly decided to move on to NIGHTSHADE.



WHAT I'M READING THIS WEEK...

I am currently finishing NIGHTSHADE by Nora Roberts and then I'll continue with NIGHT SMOKE, yet another Night Tales story. I look forward reading this because the heroine is Boyd's sister (Natalie). Boyd Fletcher is from the first book the NIGHT SHIFT.

I also plan on reading another three classic mysterious novels by Nora Roberts -- THIS MAGIC MOMENT, SEARCH FOR LOVE, and THE RIGHT PATH.

If I get lucky I should finish the week with Shana Abe's THE DREAM THIEF.
