Kasey Lane | Top 10 Favorite Opposite Attractions
GIVEAWAY: Win a copy of BEAUTIFUL CRAZY
In my new Rock βnβ
Ink series the primary theme of opposites attracting is played out
against a backgound of the Portland music scene. But the stories, at their core,
are about characters from different backgrounds and social groups β opposing
archetypes β finding themselves attracted to one another and eventually falling
in love. In my debut BEAUTIFUL CRAZY a very
alpha business mogul goes toe-to-toe with a free spirited rockabilly rebel. Not
only are they both shocked at meeting their match, but they both learn a lesson
on not judging a book by the cover. Disclaimer: this is not the case for BEAUTIFUL CRAZY as the
gorgeous cover for my book is a spot on representation of the story.
I think most romance fans will agree that Jane Austenβs PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
holds a special place in our hearts for a number of reasons. For me itβs the
opposing archetypes trying to stay true to themselves and yet, despite their own
personal history and the rules of the society they live in, they're driven to
love the things they intitial disliked about each other.
Iβve thrown together a top 10 list of some of my favorite movies that explore
this theme (I found it extremely difficult to keep it to just 10). I selected
movies over books because the latter would be too difficult to choose. I would
LOVE to hear what youβre favorite opposites attract movies (and books) are:
- 10 Things I Hate About
You - the rebel badboy and the control-freak individualist
- Pretty Woman - the
businessman and the hooker with the heart of gold
- Say Anything - the
lovable screwball and the good girl
- Step Up - the
streetwise badboy and the uptown princess
- Beauty and the Beast β
well, duh
- The Sound of Music -
the rigid father and the free-spirited screwball
- Breakfast Club - the
badboy and the good girl (can you see a trend here?)
- Grease - the greaser
and the very good girl
- Pretty in Pink - girl
from the other side of the tracks and the preppy rich kid
- Bend it Like Beckham -
girl restricted by how her culture views her and the outsider

Rock 'n
Ink
"You confound me. You're all these maddening contradictions that don't
make any sense... And I can't get enough of your special brand of beautiful
crazy."
She's a rocker with attitude and ink...
He's a sexy suit who gets what he
wants
Kevan Landry is trying to keep her life on track and her brother in rehab. If
her fledgling marketing firm can sign the hot new band, Manix Curse, it will
make a world of difference. Mason Dillon heads the most successful music PR firm
in Portland. He's desperate to breathe new life into the company by signing
Manix Curse.
The last thing either one needs is a one-night stand with a smoldering
stranger...
The stakes are high when a battle for the band-in the bedroom and the
boardroom-becomes a battle of the heart. But if these two can set aside their
differences, they may find they're the right mix of sexy savvy to conquer both
their worlds.
