Re: Sex, Lies and Contracts (1:55am March 25, 2012):

Nothing gets to me more than a hero that has wit. He plays
the game, but doesn't even know what's doing to the heroine,
which is driving her slowly go out of her mind. In turn, she
doesn't know what it is about him that is driving her crazy,
because he's unlike any that she's even fantasized about.
(how's that for a storyline *wink*)

Re: Missing (9:07pm March 17, 2012):

The Search. Both books look great!

Re: King of Darkness (5:46am February 22, 2012):

Yes! Bring on the coffee! My first cup was Sanka (remember
that?!) with my Grandma. I had my own tiny version of a coffee
cup and I know Grandma pretty much gave me some coffee with my
milk and sugar:-) It was a special time and thus...began my
love for coffee.

Re: A Scandalous Countess (10:24am February 12, 2012):

Ummm. I feel like an idiot because I didn't really notice a
difference. BUT in my defense, I just started reading these. I
have always loved Victorian-ANY Victorian. Regency? Georgian?
They are books-and that means they are all alright with me.

Re: Chosen By Sin (7:14am February 5, 2012):

I love romace mysteries esp when they are in a
series...perfecttion, add medicine and vampires and I am in
my element, although it would be a first for me to read this
type of book! I made a pact that I am going to expand out of
my comfort zone and read other things...so, here is the
beginning!

Re: The Lord Of Illusion (3:24pm February 3, 2012):

Of course, I, like everyone else would choose healing. I am a
Reiki Master & and I have seen the wonders of healing...but I
would also be an invisible healer-that way I could get to
places that a normal person shouldn't be:-)

Re: Touch Me (1:26pm January 30, 2012):

Give me fiesty! I like the fiesty you-can't-get-me ones. I
have pigeon-holed myself in mysteries with that type of
romance twisted in, but this year I promised myself I am
going to try ALL books. Touch Me sounds like it's going to
shoot to the top of the bestseller list and I would love to
win a copy! As always, I pass books on when I am done!

Re: Learning To Trust (8:42pm November 27, 2011):

Sounds great...and a series would be even better! Flaws in
characters make them more likable, because any times we can
relate to one flaw or another!

Re: Haunting Embrace (8:54am October 22, 2011):

Dark tortured heroes intrigue me due to the challenge of it
all. Much like a virgin hanging onto their virginity when she
truly knows in her heart that resistance is futile...is the
man that that is desperately trying not to fall...delicious!

Re: Unleashed (10:52pm October 12, 2011):

Ahhh. I love animals, so it's hard to choose. BUT the animal close to my soul, my whole house has them around and I just got done cross-stitching one- is the wolf. Protective, family, and to me, they are a very spiritua; animal. I hope to win Unleashed- to read and them pass on to so someone else can enjoy:-)

Re: The Rose Garden (10:22pm October 12, 2011):

The supporting cast is often what I, myself will get attached to. It's the cast that makes you feel, at the end of the book that you are saying goodbye to family/friends. I have often come upon the ending of a book and purposely read it slower just so I can savor the book- and I don't want to say goodbye! Maybe that is why I enjoy trilogies so much! I look forward to getting to know you, as well, when I start reading your books!
If I win, please know that this book will be passed onto others. I believe in sharing great books!

Re: Fitzwilliam Darcy, Rock Star (1:23am September 29, 2011):

Any book that references Rock N Roll AND Mr. Darcy is tops on the wish list! Music is universal- and rock n roll?? It will always be there for us! Thank you for the opportunity to win this awesome book! I hope you write more in this genre as there isn't many. Children of the late 70's NEED these types of books!

Re: Secrets Of The Wolves (1:17am September 29, 2011):

Ever since being a little girl, I have loved wolves. As I look around my living room, I am looking at wolf pictures- always two together (they mate for life). When I am down, in my dreams, my wolves are there. If there might be danger, my wolves warn me. They are my Spirit animal. Oddly though, I have never read about any! I love this pic of you with the wolves...I would love to do that, and just once pet some & just look one in the eye (bucket list item). I hope to win your book and begin a new adventure!

Re: Jennifer's Garden (1:11am September 29, 2011):

Now, you have put my mind in motion because I have't read any of your books...yet. Gardening-sore spot for me this year, as I didn't have anywhere to do it. Ladies, if you are lucky enough to have some room...garden. It's so soothing!
I enjoy trilogies and these sound so interesting! Now, hopefully I will be blessed enough to win and get a taste of these...and garden vicariously through you!

Re: The Seduction of Sophie Seacrest (1:07am September 29, 2011):

Brooding hero?? Janet Evanovich's Morelli...or Ranger. No...Morelli. Ok, Ranger & Morelli- wow, two heros, together, with one...Hmmm, better end that thought process right here!

Re: The Norse King's Daughter (12:56pm September 29, 2011):

Funny, that first sentence that you wrote for this entry got my attention because currently, I am in a slump too. I am getting concerned because I don't have a huge pile to go through...and winter is coming here in the Northwoods of WI. That means HURRY and stash lol
When I am in a slump, I often look through reviews on Amazon. I look up my fav authors, then see "people who have bought this, have bought these". Amazon has a good way of clumping together like authors and books.
Might want to try it Sandra! Meantime, can I go through your huge pile? :)

Re: Stay (3:22pm September 17, 2011):

Sounds like a very relatable book. I did almot the same thing, but acat adopted me on the very day of my heartbreak. "Out walks a man/child in walks a cat with an attitude!"

Re: The Last Rising (2:58pm September 17, 2011):

Wow! After reading all these comments...I need to do some research of my own! I would like to add "the whisper in the ear"...my hubs tends to breath in when he does this, which although he's trying to be romantic- feels like a wind tunnel through my brain! Not an oooh moment- more like a "what did you say" moment- for the next 4 hours!

Re: Night Veil (1:48am June 28, 2011):

Oh hands down...Batman! He's like you & me, he makes mistakes, he has "urges" and wow, that costume?! What girl would choose tights over leather?? Haha

Re: The Dark Enquiry (1:45am June 28, 2011):

It reminds me of the Tudors. They, on the outside, appeared to be all about royalty...but, there are rebels in all eras & I for one, LOVE them! Thanks for writing about the "no-so-innocent" Victorians!

Re: Hard Bitten (12:46pm June 15, 2011):

I live in a town of 300, yes, you did read that right! Our library is sooo tiny, and hardly the place to hang out. I do, however have some fantastic memories of when I was younger, going to the library- I couldn't get enough, and thus, a geek was born:-)

Re: My Favorite Countess (5:13am April 28, 2011):

Naaa. I like the manly man heroes. To me, the doctors in books are all money, and frufru. BUT, then I haven't read your book yet- maybe it will change my mind

Re: Mimosas, Mischief, and Murder (1:52am April 4, 2011):

Just the word "moving" makes me quiver- and not with delight! I too have moved all over, the last one being to WI where I swear it snows until July...and yes, we are planning another move soon. UGH-but with new moves, comes the adventure of new things- so it's not all bad.

Re: Angel's Verdict (1:49am April 4, 2011):

How did I not ever see your books? After reading this post, I will be looking for them- and hoping I WIN one to get me started! I always pass my books on to others, so they share the addiction with me! This sounds like a really different series, which is something I have been looking for!

Re: Smart Girls Think Twice (1:46am April 4, 2011):

He has to be a good guy, but a oh so bad boy to keep my attention. Sometimes a bad boy is just really a bad guy all the wat around and Lord knows, we don't need any more of them!

Re: Rock Hard (1:45am April 4, 2011):

Looking forward to reading it!

Re: Treasure Me (3:51am March 3, 2011):

The first sentence is what draws me in! Me and my guy often do the first sentence when we watch people- a fun way to stay entertained! Thank you for giving us a glimpse into what it's like for you...I love the whole process. After years of always wanting to write, I am just now finding the time to do so.
