jmc_bksAnd I'm off to read shortly.
First, though, at the library, I paged straight to the back of Into the Storm. Not to read the ending of the story, but to read the Sam & Jules short story. I love Jules as a character, and can't wait to read about his HEA.
Random non-book comment: there are times when I rue the day I found Trinny and Susannah (of BBC's What Not to Wear) on TV. Used to be that if something fit and I liked the color, then I bought it without too much worry about whether it was the best shape/style for my body. Now, post-WNTW, can't do that any longer. Yes, the pants fit but the pockets draw attention to my belly and hips -- put them back. Yes, the top fits, but the sleeves are too short and the neckline is too high -- a lower, deeper scoop would be better, along with 3/4 length sleeves. GAH! My clothes shopping tolerance (always low) isn't high enough for this!
