19  Last Guard, Nalini Singh (pre-pub copy provided by the author; read aloud with Steve)
This is me, breaking the Third Wall:  I really, really liked this one.  It’s sweet and compelling, and we get an astonishing closer look at a Designation that has been with us all along, and…I really can’t say any more, because I don’t want to spoil it for you.  Publication date July 20. You can preorder it now from All The Usual Suspects.
