Weekly topic for discussion - Can you name just five of your favorite heroes?

[Jonetta]

I know it's going to be tough but bear with me here. There's a method to this madness (I'll reveal that later) and I need you to list your top 5 heroes of all of Nora's books. That includes both single title and series in one list.

You'll have opportunities to change and tweak your lists so don't feel as if you're stuck forever if you later change your mind.

So, who are your five all time heroes from Nora's world?

(P.S. - You can include the J. D. Robb books)

[Quynh]

Only 5? That's a tough one! I'll have to think of this one.

[Jonetta]

I'll start it off and, yes, limiting it to five is TOUGH!!!


1. Roarke Naked in Death
2. Cam Quinn Sea Swept
3. Aidan Gallagher Jewels of the Sun
4. Devin MacKade The Heart of Devin MacKade
5. Harper Ashby Red Lily

[Quynh]

I had to rack my brain for the last 2 spots!! Tough decision! We think alike on the first 2 heroes Jonetta. ;)

1. Roarke Naked in Death
2. Cam Quinn Sea Swept
3. Cian Valley of Silence
4. MacAllister Booke Heaven and Earth
5. Grayson Thane Born in Ice

Nice list! I started to put Larkin from the Circle Trilogy (I know everyone loves Cian but I'm a sucker for dragons). Grayson is a GREAT choice but I haven't read Heaven and Earth.

You should read it! Mac is like a teddy bear. Plus, he's brainy. I love brainy heroes. He's a bit clumsy too but that's why I love him. :) The heroine, Ripley, reminds me a bit of Eve.

[Jonetta]

I'll definitely add it to my list!

[Jonetta]

Okay, I'm losing it! I didn't recognize the title until you said Ripley!!! This is Three Sisters Island and I do love Mac!!!

Haha! Maybe I shouldn't have used his full first name. :D

[Jennifer]

this will be hard! I'll have to think about it..... I like Mac too and your right, Ripley reminds me of Eve.

[Talya]

4. Ethan Quinn - Rising Tides (Chesapeake Bay #2)

Aaah, Murphy and Shawn...love those Irish lads!

[Quynh]

I love Nora's Irish men. There's just something about them.

[Talya]

Oh yeah, they're the best! Honorable mention to Aidan :-D

[Moumita]

Hey all, am a recent NORA ROBERTS fan. Though I have read many books, but there still many more to read.
So far, my favorite heroes are-
1. Mikhail Stanislaski (LURING A LADY)
2. Nickolai Davidov (DANCE OF DREAMS)
3. Rafe Mackade (THE RETURN OF RAFE MACKADE)
4. Cameron Quinn (RISING TIDES)
5. each & everyone fron NR's THE MACGREGOR series

[Barbara]

1. Roarke - in all the books!
2. Shawn Gallagher - Tears of the Moon
3. Cian - Valley of Silence
4. All the Quinns

Can't think of any others! Love them all, especially the Irishmen!

[Jonetta]

Before I start organizing these lists, are there any more that should be added?

[Maggie]

1- Roarke, all the In Death books
2- Cian, Valley of Silence
3- Feeney, the In Death books
4- Grayson Thane, Born in Ice
5- Trevor Magee, Heart of the Sea

[Jonetta]

Ooh, Feeney!! That's a new (and great!) one.

[Maggie]

If Feeney hadn't been there to show Eve that some men can be trusted and are good, would she have been able to love Roarke? They say girls marry their Dads, well in all the ways that really count Feeney is Eve's father and I think he got the ball rolling on Eve's healing.

[Jonetta]

No argument from me on that!

[Julia]

Well said, Maggie!!

[Talya]

I agree, well put Maggie!

[Shawn]

Roarke (love him!), Jack from Bed of Roses, Eli from Whiskey Beach, Fox from The Hollow, Owen from The Last Boyfriend; Five is really tough!

ANother list that has two in common with mine! You have Cian and Shawn on your list. A+ in my book, plus, yeah...Irishmen are the bomb. I've seen Cian on here a few times, including my list, but I think you, Talya, and I are the ones in the Shawn Gallagher club.

Cameron Quinn seems to be very popular.
