Re: My Favorite Countess (12:12pm April 29, 2011):

Thanks for weighing in, everyone. Really fun discussion!

Re: My Favorite Countess (12:12pm April 29, 2011):

Laurel, I loved The Surgeon's Lady - wonderful book with wonderful characters!

Re: My Favorite Countess (8:19pm April 28, 2011):

Wow! I had forgotten a lot of those TV and movie doctors. This is such a great thread!

Re: My Favorite Countess (4:11pm April 28, 2011):

When Beauty Tamed The Beast is a great doctor-hero book, and so is Marry Me by Jo Goodman. Both out in the past year, which is interesting. I guess doctors are popular in romance this year!

Re: My Favorite Countess (9:17am April 28, 2011):

Thanks, everyone, for all the interesting comments! My doctor hero is certainly an alpha male, but not the kind who goes around busting things up. As Hira mentioned, the doctor hero deals with life AND death, which allows him to be both sensitive and strong, able to face any situation or danger. That's certainly how I envision John Blackmore, the doctor in my book. He's even up for dealing with an arrogant countess!

So far, it looks like small-town romance is tipping the scales! It may be a bit of a fantasy, but it sure makes for great reading, doesn't it?

Re: Sex And The Single Earl (1:04pm May 19, 2010):

Thanks for stopping by, everybody! I'm enjoying reading the comments. I grew up in a small town myself, but one that was only a 20 minute drive to a big city. The best of both worlds!

Yep, sisters - it always generates a lot of discussion! I had forgotten about Little Women. I love that book - and I still cry at all the versions of the movies! Thanks for your comments, everyone. It's really interesting to hear about your different experiences.
