Need You For Alway by Marina Adair (October 13th): Emerson and Dax have known each other forever, having lived in the same small California town for most of their lives. When attending a mutual wedding, they hooked up, spending an enjoyable night having some pretty awesome sex, but that was supposed to be it. Dax had to return to the Middle East and Emerson had to stay in town to take care of her father and sister. Then, Dax came home and made sure that Emerson knew she was the one that got away. I really enjoyed this book, although I took issue at the depiction of Emerson's mother's ALS. 4 Stars

It seems like I've been reading Karen Rose novels my entire life. I remember the day I came across Count to Ten in the Duane Reade on Queens Blvd. I'd finished the paperback I brought with me to school that day while sitting in the Dining Hall eating lunch and needed something for the long bus ride home. I almost didn't buy it because it was $9.99 and I hadn't gotten my financial aid money yet, but the cover copy called to me. Not even the 500+ page count could scare me away.
I recently learned that Edge of Darkness is Ms. Rose's 20th book and in a strange way, I feel like a proud mama watching her child cross the stage to get their diploma. I'm just a big ball of happy nostalgia, thinking back to all of the other books I've read by her and hopeful about the ones to come, so befor…
