Top Ten Books of 2013

Earlier this year I began working with a publisher to edit books. I have also been hosting various virtual blog tours at www.bookemnc.blogspot.com. As a result, I've had the great fortune of reading new books by authors I hadn't discovered before. I look for superb storytelling, compelling plots, and characters I love (or love to hate). And I must admit that 2013 was filled with romance and romantic suspense genres! So here's my list of the Top Ten books I read this year (with click-thrus to the pages on amazon):

1. Through the Oracle's Mist by Aedan Byrnes

2. Saving Sandra by Shane Hayes (not yet released - to be released in the spring of 2014)

3. Ghost Lover by Liza O'Connor

4. Selkie's Song by Clare Austin

5. Captured Lies by Maggie Thom

6. Spirit of the Revolution by Debbie Peterson

7. Going Back for Romeo by L.L.Muir (and the entire Muir Witch Project series)

8. Stealing Fire by Susan Sloate

9. A Love Through Time by Terri Brisbin (and the entire MacKendimen trilogy)

10. The Laird by Sandy Blair (and the Castle Blackstone series)

What were the best books you read in 2013?
