Hi Mark,
Thanks for your reply. You know, at first I wasn't going to
include the PIs, but I may still. I'm not much of a PI story
fan (although I love Dennis Lehane's Patrick and Angela
series...go figure LOL). I'll try the first Honey West, I've
heard good things about it, but I heard the rest of them just
get kind of silly. I'll check out No Busines for a
Lady.
I really liked Branded Woman by Wade Miller. It wasn't the
most fantastic writing, but the story was very good and dark.
I'm going to read their Kitten with a Whip next.
Thanks again for your reply and if you have any other
suggestions, throw 'em at me!
Amy
