Finding books I can do. Reading them is another matter altogether. lol
oh wow BJ. Wayyyy too complicated a challenge for me. I'm having a hard enough time as it is working in reading books that I want to read just for the fun of it that don't fit into challenge categories.
BJ you can use So In Love for the Of the Royal Line challenge as the series has "Lords" in the title.What's the Winter Challenge? I havn't seen that one anywhere yet. I remember someone discussing have a Spring/Summer/Autumn/Winter challenge with rules similiar to the read the month challenge but I havn't seen it started anywhere. Have I missed it?

I've not been impressed with Harlequin's Sheik/Sheihk stories either. I only have some of them as my father as passed them on to me to read.
I've got 100's of Harlequin Romances of all different kinds to sort through. Some on shelves and I got 5 apple boxes full of the really old white cover ones. lol That's what I get for $1 bag, bag sales at the annual friends of the library sale. Wether they are any good or not is still in question. lol

I'll accept Sheikh and Laird as nobility title. They are honorific by nature, so I think they'll meet the requirements...."
Thanks Yz. I figured if Lord, Lady and Master would count, these would as well.
Kenjii wrote: "Sheik is more a title of honor given to the eldest male in the family. It literally means 'elder'. I am not sure how that translate in romance novels? "
Harlequin romances use Sheihk/Sheik as a desert title for Prince. Correct usage or not, that's what they use.
Doing great BJ.

Congratulations BJ!
Another royal title to include would be Sheihk. For some reason over the last few years royal desert romances have been popular with Harlequin.
Would a Scottish Highland Laird work? I've got alot of those, although not sure how many of the Laird's got into the title of the book.
Looks like you're both enjoying the Study series as much as I did. :)
