Re: The Autumn Bride (7:39pm January 31, 2013):

I'm in an online book group where we talk about favorite books and recommend to each. We take turns picking an author of the month where everyone tries to get at least one of those author's books to try out if not read before. Have found several new authors to me that way.

Re: My Unfair Lady (5:37am December 4, 2009):

Great post, Kathryne, can't wait to read this newest of yours.

Inspirations can come from so many things, sometimes I think the author has an unconscious idea from a number of things she's seen or read, and then that one finally sparks the idea.

Re: Dragons Prefer Blondes (5:56am August 29, 2009):

I might try to catch some of these for some of my favorite authors when I have time. Right now, though, my sound card doesn't work, so can't work for me.

Re: Haunting Beauty (12:42pm August 28, 2009):

As tempting as it would be to change things, I hope I'd resist as who knows if things really would be better, what else in the cosmos would be affected. Look at Lost, everytime they try to change things, more problems happen.

Re: In the Master's Bed (1:04am August 25, 2009):

For my nieces and nephews, it means no more staying up later than usual to make sure they get up in time in the morning to get ready.

Re: Tortured (4:59am August 18, 2009):

Hi Amanda, my favorite type of historical, a medieval. Congrats on the new release!

Re: Seduce Me (8:37pm July 29, 2009):

I agree, best love scenes that show emotion and/or tension, and sex words aren't needed always to convey that. Different things work for different characters/stories. If a love/sex scene is just thrown in, you can tell.

Re: Master Of Craving (12:40pm May 27, 2009):

Karin, Happy Release Day! Love this series and need to get the newest later this week.

Re: Killer Cuts (8:26am May 5, 2009):

Love Mary Balogh, enjoying this new series; also on my wishlist Tabke,Knight, Johnson, Brennan,Kenyon/Love and now you have me looking at more.

Re: Sea Lord (2:32am May 5, 2009):

Hi Virginia, I was so glad when you came out with this series, liking selkie romances.

I think there's more realism to be found in those fairytales if you go back and read them again as an adult. As a kid, loved all the fairty tales, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, Snow White. Ariel the mermaid was a big hit with my niece. As I got a bit older, I was very into those gods and goddesses in mythology, Poseidon and Neptune being favorites, and Atlantis has always fascinated me - guess that's why I like sea creatures in romance now that I'm older.

Happy Release Day!

Re: The Madness Of Lord Ian Mackenzie (4:10pm April 30, 2009):

Just finished and loved Ian's book, and now wondering just how much darker Hart might show himself to be and how you turn him around.

Unusual heros with struggles I thought of mentioned above - Dare from To Rescue a Rogue (opium), Reggie from The Rake (alcholic), and Hal in An Unconventional Match (stutter). Also, Madeline Hunter's series about the Rothwell brothers - though it's never said specifically and not explored indepth as you did with Ian, it seems they have the same syndrome.

Re: Scandal (9:10am March 6, 2009):

I read to escape from everyday things in life and what better way than to a different time, something different than I experience in mine.

Carolyn, A Summer to Remember is a favorite for me, too, along with her Slightly Dangerous. A few others: Lord of Scoundrels and Mr. Impossible by Loretta Chase; Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas; All Through the Night and As You Desire by Connie Brockway.

Re: Ravenous (3:15am February 19, 2009):

Hi Sharon, I'm looking forward to reading Ravenous soon. I'd probably email more authors if I had more time, I spend too much as it is with all the book sites, blogs, etc., I try and get to. I've emailed some to congratulate them on winning a major award or with a question on a book or series. Sometimes I've won a book and after being notified, might end up going talking a bit more through emails on whatever, just last week it was about book recommendations with an historical author. Now it's easy to get to know more about our favorite authors more with blogs and chatting on book groups.

Re: Highland Warrior (4:07pm February 16, 2009):

Hi Monica, just waiting for the new book to arrive in my mailbox, can't wait to read it.

I do like those behind the scenes or deleted parts, reading them right after finishing a book just gives you that bit more insight at times.

Happy Valentine's Day, Emily. Love that quote " A man...lives to be deceived."
