Resisting Alexandre is a fantastic contemporary romance by Carole Mortimer.  This is a fairly quick read, perfect for those with limited reading time.  Ms. Mortimer has delivered a well-written book loaded with outstanding characters.  Stazzi works at the Meyers Hotel and accidentally sent an email stating what a demanding pain in the butt Prince Alexandre was being about his upcoming trip.  Alexandre has wanted Stazzi since he saw a photo of her on the hotel website.  Alexandre and Stazzi's story is packed with drama, humor, sizzle and a little suspense.  I enjoyed reading Resisting Alexandre and look forward to reading more from Carole Mortimer in the future.  Resisting Alexandre is book 0.5 of the Knight Security Series but can be read as a standalone.  This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

Haven't done a Friday Reads post in a while. Today is the last day of my library's summer reading program; Tuesday is the awards party.

The only plans I have this weekend aside from reading is going to a Food Truck Rally and Party on base tonight (food, bouncy castles, DJ, and mom not having to cook!) and working on finalizing some PTO stuff. Our first event is on the 17th and then it is a whirlwind until winter break.

Here is what I want to get done this weekend and next week:

1. Christian Seaton: Duke of Danger (Dangerous Dukes #6) by Carole Mortimer - at 20% read, the heroine is a little too innocent and naïve for my taste. And there is a lot of party in his pants feelings from the hero. Down boy, you got a spy job to take care of.

2. Secret Agent Under Fire by Geri Krotow  - 10% read; the heroine is a little too bitchy towards the hero for no good reason but the plot centers on finding a religious cult using arson to terrorize a small Pennsylvania town and I am here for it.

3. The Baby Barter by Patty Smith Hall - only at 10%, but so far so good.

4. A Promise by Daylight by Alison DeLaine - heroine dresses like a man so she can pursue her work as a doctor; hero needs medical care after a carriage accident...but his eyes are working just fine.
