I think they're all available for download in the UK. (It's not always easy to know how the international rights are laid out.)<br /><br />The next book is slated to come out November 2011. So far as I know it will be on kindle at or soon after the publication date.

We had three flat tires in ten miles which gave us a chance to appreciate both of the above.<br /><br />We are not so much cold here as rainy. <br />I love rain. t makes me poetic or something.<br /><br />I have the Judith James and Eileen Dreyer books on my TBR list. If I can ever lift my nose from the grindstone what wonderful treasures await me.<br /><br />I won't say anything at all about the Adrian/Justine story until it gets close to publication time. And that's next November.Jo Bournehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13457862962618886252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15617001.post-17147275846548521962010-12-12T15:28:18.917-05:002010-12-12T15:28:18.917-05:00Hey Jo!
I'm hoping you're staying warm t...Hey Jo! <br /><br />I'm hoping you're staying warm today. I'm poking my head out of my Serbian Cave :) and let me tell you, it's cold out there!<br /><br />I've also read only four from that list:<br /><br />Last Night’s Scandal by Loretta Chase (Avon, 2010)<br /><br />His at Night by Sherry Thomas (Bantam, 2010)<br /><br />The Forbidden Rose by Joanna Bourne (Berkley, 2010)<br /><br />Nine Rules to Break when Romancing a Rake by Sarah MacLean (Avon, 2010)<br /><br />Sara says, and I quote: "...books that are emotionally moving, with characters that seem like truly living people, with a plot that prevents you from putting the book down without considerable resentment for the interruption. Most of all, romances that are mentioned with the Good Romance Novel Noise are the ones that you want to reread, so you can revisit those characters and experience that amazing plot all over again." I'm 100% in agreement with her. When I read, I want to be THERE, I want to feel, smell and taste what the author is writing about. In my case only three books that I've read did that. Try as I might, one of those has utterly failed me. I'm not going to blame the author, as I know she's a great one, but rather I'll place the blame on myself, the reader as I feel that I'm getting jaded and my expectations have risen too high, I think. <br /><br />I was surprised not to see Judith James's name on there. Her "Libertine’s Kiss" was such an excellent read. Or for that matter Eileen Dreyer's "Barely a Lady". What a great book that was! <br /><br />I'm truly excited for Adrian's story to see the light of day and so looking forward to it. I'm trying to stay away from your website so as not to be tempted to peek at postings in regards to the story. I am too weak I must admit.<br /><br />Oh, and just in case you doubt I'm Serbian :)<br />Please feel free to stop by my blog at <br />bookworm2bookworm.wordpress.com<br /><br />Thanks for writing books that take me away!<br />MelMelaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01007305817916683756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15617001.post-61946288114825922010-12-12T12:55:33.581-05:002010-12-12T12:55:33.581-05:00I'm about 90% sure I've already bought thi...I'm about 90% sure I've already bought this and it's sitting on the bookshelf waiting for me.<br />(I'd have to stand up to go check. *g*)<br /><br />If not, I'll buy it when I next send in an order.

Smarter, fresher, more satisfying books than seem to be coming out anywhere else. Your books, of course, plus Nalini Singh and Meljean Brooks--wow! <br /><br />After seeing it turn up on several "Best of" lists, I'm reading The Iron Duke right now. VERY interesting book. Definitely add it to your TBR pile. (For WHEN Justine is finished!!) <br /><br />Congrats again!!
