Three books at a time?

If you look at the books I am reading at the moment you will see that I am in fact reading three at once. Well, not quite, but close. Two of them you can understand as one is ficiton and one is tips and tricks about wedding bargains (which is really written towards women, it really does act like men would never read the book!). The reason for the two fiction books, and by the same author is that I started to read Seduced by Moonlight but 100 pages in I realised that there were huge gaps in the story. Well, not huge, but large enough that I was puzzled what the hell was going on. End result is that I was in fact reading book three and not book two... so book three goes back on the shelf and I get to dive into book two! Luckily I don't think I missed that much... not like a load of characters were killed off, so probably more sex and politics!!!
