Danielle The Book Huntress ’s Comments (group member since Jan 27, 2010)

Danielle The Book Huntress ’s comments from the Dangerous Hero Addict Support Group group.

I feel like I have some good historical romance mojo going, so I'm wondering if I should keep it going or switch to something else right now. I probably will read something different, but sometimes I want to follow the winning streak.

How about you guys?

What I mean is if you read a book that is a certain theme or genre and you really like it, do you try to read more books like that and go on a binge, or do you try to read something different next?

Looked it up. Thanks, Sophia!

I just finished Good Groom Hunting last night and it was excellent. Westmore was a great reformed rake. He was truly wanting to be a better man after a past of extreme selfishness with tragic consequences.

I really enjoyed this!

This thread is to list titles with rakes who are repentant or trying to mend their ways.

Welcome, Helena!

Looks like you are a Feehan fan and Russian heroes. Same here!

Oh, that makes sense. Thanks Ashley!

Welcome, Aurora!

Hi Ashley. Click on the 'add book/author' link at the top of the text book. You type in the name of the book and it will add the link by name or the bookcover.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the name of the book.

--it comes up under Tiffany Snow. Is that a psuedonym of Kathleen Turner?

Yes, he's definitely imperious! I thought you meant something like that. :)

Worldly, highly intelligent, crafty, utterly lethal, makes a good ally (when it's advantageous to him), but a terrible enemy. Christine Feehan and Anne Stuart do these characters well. I love borderline villainous heroes. Can you think of other romance books/ authors? I don't like kinky or dark erotica, menage/sharing, overt BDSM. I like Shannon McKenna/Lisa Marie Rice-type (non-kinky) romantica. Thanks!

He sounds scrumptious!

I'm going to go with Conall from "A Jewel in the Vaults" from The Scrolls of Cridhe: Volume 1 Highland Winds. He was such an honorable, strong man who loved his heroine unconditionally and fearlessly!

I think you'll love Roarke!

Very good description of him, Lauren. :)

Welcome, Sandy! I agree that Briggs and Singh writes some scrumptious heroes.

Danielle's Final Stats
Update: 2/1
Completed: 1/10
Level: Proactive Reader


1. Everything Old is New Again!: Just like the aged year faded into the new, you get a clean reading slate. The first book you finish this year counts for this part of the challenge. The Scrolls of Cridhe: Volume 1 Highland Winds by Various 1/4

2. Cuddle Up Day: January 6th is the day to encourage people to cuddle up with a loved one or shall we say a good book. You can cuddle up with a book you've been waiting anxiously to read to count for this challenge. Black Canary/Zatanna: Bloodspell by Paul Dini 1/19

3. Male Watching Day: For January 8th, girls can do the boy watching around town. Let's confine our boy watching to books. Read a book where the hero is drop dead gorgeous. Sold to the Enemy by Sarah Morgan 1/10

4. Feeling Skeptical: January 13th is International Skeptics Day. Read a book where a main character is skeptical about something, anything or everything. Let us know what they are skeptical about in parentheses. At No Man's Command by Melanie Milburne 1/10 (both characters are skeptical and untrusting by nature)

5. Ditch New Year Resolutions: January 15th is a day to discourage fulfilling a New Year's Resolution. I suggest reading a book where the character does the opposite from what they should or want to do. For Nicky by AD Ellis 1/4

6. National Nothing Day: We can't tell you not to read a book in honor of this January 16th observance, but how about you count any book you want here? The Sheikh's Impatient Virgin by Kim Lawrence 1/11

7. Appreciate a Dragon Day: January 16th is the day to look fondly on the cultural and folkloric significance of dragons. You may honor dragons by reading a book about dragons. In a Glass Grimmly by Adam Gidwitz 1/8 (character is a fire-breathing salamander)

8. Thesaurus Day: January 18th honors the thesaurus and its first inventor, Peter Roget. To celebrate, you can count any book that has an interesting word choice in its title (or cool turn of phrase). Nun Too Soon by Alice Loweecey 1/20

9. Say Something Nice!: For Compliment Day on January 24th, read a book that has a compliment in its title. I also encourage you to say something nice to someone you meet or know this day. Crazy Love You by Lisa Unger 1/25

10.Opposites: Opposites Day is January 25th. Read a book that is a departure from your usual tastes, or you could read a book where a character acts differently from usual. Or the tried and true "Opposites Attract" theme will do nicely for this part of the challenge. Trust No One by Jayne Ann Krentz 1/28

I'm sorry for your loss, Natalie. You might just need to give yourself a reading break. Do something else that you enjoy.

I was pretty down in the dumps at the end of last year because of some family situations, and I did have a pretty good reading slump. I hope it gets better.

What's the first book in the Kathleen Turner series, Ashley?
