I bought my copy. Now just need time to read it!

Which hero were you most thankful for in November? Tell us why!

Hey ladies! Congrats on finishing the challenge and taking part. I'm afraid I was caught up with finishing NaNoWriMo, so I didn't have a chance to write the December challenge yet. I will try to get it up either tomorrow night or Tuesday.

I'm very sorry for the delay!

Hero like Jericho Barrons from the Fever series by KMM?

Hero like Ilya Prakenskii from the series by Christine Feehan?

Anne Stuart type hero?

This folder is for readers to post their heroes they love and to solicit books that have a similar type of hero.

Oh I didn't take it that way. I know what you mean. But you know things change. Back then, rape was obligatory in HR, but I'm glad that's not now.

Try her McKinnon Rangers series. highly recommend Ride the Fire. Anyone know of similar authors to Pamela Clare?"

I can't think of authors too similar in her style of historical romance.

Susan wrote: "Lauren and Danielle, which one of the Governess Brides series is based on the Audrey Hepburn/Humphrey Bogart classic "Sabrina"? I loved seeing a Victorian take on that story!"

That one was fun too. Actually liked it better. I love Throckmorton.

Welcome Eden and Janella. Janella you're definitely not alone. Welcome to the fold!

It definitely depends on my mood what I'll read. If life is angsty, I try to avoid very angsty books. I do love a very emotional read and with that comes angst.

It definitely doesn't measure up to the movie Sound of Music, but it was fun to read a romance based on Sound of Music with a twist.

Welcome, Gloria!

I can see your point, although I thought it was kind of cute, since I'm a movie buff as well.

Susan wrote: "Coulter did enjoy the rape-a-thons. I read them, so I can't really judge her for writing them."

Oh definitely not trying to be judgmental. I just got heartburn over it and moved onto other authors.

Susan wrote: "Danielle, it was just what I needed in my current mood. Anguish-free bad-guy fun."

Yay!

Welcome, Elsa!

Totally agree, Natalie!

I'm definitely not an advocate of raping heroes. I do find that I have liked and will list a few of those as favorites because of the character development and the complexity of the story, getting into the hero's head and understanding his personality, even if his actions aren't justified. One of the ones I will definitely list as a favorite is Claiming the Courtesan.

Catherine Coulter seemed to have some rape happy heroes, didn't she? I had to stop reading her after a while.

Ren wrote: "Growing up, reading bodice rippers, I'm just a little more prone to a dangerous, demanding and aloof hero.

Like some have said, I don't think my taste has changed much, except that I've moved into..."

I find myself agreeing with a lot of your tastes, Ren. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Oh, Chandos is one of my old favorites. Sigh!
