29443 Trends I Avoid:

BDSM (I don't like inequality in relationships or the idea that pain/abuse/subjection/humiliation needs to be part of a relationship)
New Adult
Erotica
Menage/Multiple
Biker Club


Trends I Will Follow To The Ends...

Russian Hero
Antihero/assassin hero (not dark erotica or an abusive, sadist though)
Fairy Tale theme

I'm not especially attracted to the mobster hero theme. I do like Russian heroes, so I admit my interest perks if the hero is Russian Mafia (although in real life, that gets pretty dark).

I wonder why there's not more Yakuza stories?
29443 What book trends/genres/sub-genres that are really popular right now are you avoiding?

Which ones are you following to the very end?

Keep in mind, we can disagree on books and still have respect for each other. We won't take it personal if someone doesn't like a genre that we love.

One of the things I really like about this group is that people show mad respect for each other.

29443 I have read Vampire Academy. Thumbs up for Dmitri! I have a well-developed radar for Russian heroes, believe you me.
29443 Audiobooks can be really good or really bad. A narrator feels the book and interprets it for the listener. A bad one, you can tell it's just a paycheck for them. Or it's some ego trip and they just enjoy hearing the sound of their own voice and don't get into character much.

I like my hero a little crazy as well. Definitely crazy about the heroine. In other ways too. :)

29443 That's part of why I haven't put mine on here yet!

29443 Welcome, Enna! Sometimes, the bad guy is more interesting than the hero. :)

29443 Looks like you ladies read some good books last month.

Kryptonite, I am excited to read Rock Hard. Hopefully soon.

Add on intelligence, funny, and a good he..."


Both excellent traits!

Yes, please!

29443 I vote for Nate Garrett from Prison of Hope. He is just one BAMF (excuse my language). I love, love a hero who can kick serious butt, but also has a sense of morals and a soft spot for children, old people, and animals. :)

29443 Which hero was your pot of gold in March? Tell us why!

29443 I find a lethal, dangerous, cold as ice hero who is crazy in love with the heroine so darn irresistible. They are my Kryptonite, my Achilles' heel.

What kind of hero is your Kryptonite.

29443 I think we've asked this before, but I'd love to get some updated answers.

29443 I'm reading Consumed by Fire and I'm loving it. This woman, I tell you, she can write. Loving James. Heroine is a more messy than typical for Stuart but I like Evangeline. It will probably get five stars from me.
