[Heather]

[new_user]

Big, brawny and gruff is the way to go.

[The Flooze]

Oh, and he bites. Rrroeerr...

[Tara]

OK, so my overactive imagination just freaked me out! It's about 8pm, I'm coming home from the gym, it's dark out and as I'm walking up to my door I get hit with the smell of baby powder, and there are no babies living anywhere by me, not to mention, there wasn't anybody around. I actually stopped and looked around because I thought there had to be a mistake. WEIRD! So apparently there are Lessers in my neighborhood, I'll keep a lookout for the BDB! [And if I find them, I'm not sharing!:] :D

[The Flooze]

THAT is HILARIOUS. And you need some relaxation time.

[Heather]

lol Tara are you apart of the BDB group? Cause we have a post," You know are a BDB Addict when you..." Well that one would just fit right in to there!!

I'll split you JM fifty fifty, LOL.

[Tara]

LOL! I know, I definitely might be have a problem! And I just started Lover Enshrined, how bad will it be when I've finished them all. But you know, I do live in NY... Where is the BDB group? I'm am not a member I'll see if I can find it!

[Mel]

LOL Tara. I like how you weren't scared that there might be lessers lurking around, but excited that the presence of lessers might indicate a few of the Brothers, ehehehe.

Wooooh I've added Soulless to my TBR-pile :)

[The Flooze]

Yay! It's really good, Mel!

J. R. Ward (BLACK DAGGER BROTHERHOOD series) go to groups and type this in. If you are a brotherhood fan its an awesome group. There many things that The warden interacts on.You need to come on over.If you still problems ill send you a friend request then you can access from my groups

[Tara]

Thanks Heather! Got it! I might hang back a little until after this weekend, I should be done with Lover Avenged by then (I'm currently halfway through Lover Enshrined) and I am really trying to avoid spoilers, but after that, Bring it on!

[The Flooze]

Newly decided...Lord Maccon, Earl of Woolsey, Alpha werewolf of Soulless. Broad and brawny, gruff and difficult, prone to Highland lilting. He also has a tendency to be naked, likes to bite, and is actually quite gentle when he wants to be (but don't tell). He's one sexy beast.

[Nita]

Michelle - I picked Soulless as one of my books for the November challenge. After reading your description of Lord Maccon I am really looking forward to it. In fact I am pretty sure I am going to read it first next month. ;D

[Tara]

LOL!! Michelle M! This is at least the 3rd thread I've seen you pushing Soulless!

[CAYLYN HENSON]

Dimitri from Vampire Academy!

[The Flooze]

Yay, Nita! Enjoy!

Tara, I can't help myself. I'm all about the peer pressure. And it was just so different from all the other UF/PNR we've been reading. It's got all the requisite elements--surly Alpha, strong heroine, daft friends--but it's done in such a new way that it's refreshing.

Plus, I only just finished it. No worries. I'll find a new book to push soon enough!

[Tara]

LOL! It only took 3 days before I added Storm Born & Thorn Queen to my tbr list, let's see how long I hold out this time... ;)

[The Flooze]

You succumbed to the last campaign, you shall fall to this one, too.

Muah hah hah ha ha...

Which Adam from the Women of the Otherworld series?

[Mrs.]

Woops Mel, I totally meant Jeremy Danvers.... Not Adam from WOTO... My bad. I guess I had Adam from Mercy Thompson on the brain LOL

[Mel]

Oh haha ok. I have a new love from the Women of the Otherworld series: Karl Marsten. Yummmmmm.

[Peace Love]

Eric Northman. Bad boy, vampire, drop dead gorgeous, vindictive, seriously. I adore him.

[Gina]

I'm new here but I think my pick is going to be Jericho Barrons the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning. Although I do like Curran's sense of humour. Or Fang from Kenyon's books or Dmitri from Vampire Academy. Double Yum.

[Gina]

Oh yes, yes, yes! How could I forget Dmitri?? Definitely one of my faves.

Welcome Gina, I have to agree Barrons and Dimitri are good picks. Definitely two of my favs.

I forgot Acheron! One of my top picks!

What book is Acheron out of?

[Tara]

He is in the Sherrilyn Kenyon Dark-Hunter books. He is in pretty much all of them.

[The Flooze]

And he's a hottie til his HEA strips him of his balls.

[Tara]

Seriously!... I'm not of fan of her.

[new_user]

That happens in a lot of books, unfortunately, LOL.

[The Flooze]

I'm always amazed when people love her. ::shrug:: To each their own.

The rest are all yum before and after. We have that to be thankful for!

[The Flooze]

new_user, why is that! Generally, they're all still cops, warriors, alphas, master vamps, etc. Don't they still need to be hard-asses to survive? Grr.

Kenyon only changed the one guy drastically, thank goodness. The rest are softer around their gals, but still crazy and capable around other folks.

[Ann aka Iftcan]

Hey, I'm sure that Ash is still totally kick-ass. But at least SHE got the Heiffer Goddess off of Ash's case. Much to the dismay of that certain goddess. I STILL think that the Heiffer Goddess should have been eaten by Simi.

[Mel]

When I hear about Acheron and Zarek I'm so cuious! But then: I just can't get over Kenyon's (infantile, idiotic, juvenile) writing sytle. I read a short story in Dead After Dark and after an intially good start it degragded to the level of Fantasy Lover. And I want to like her books. I really do!

[The Flooze]

Her writing is very simplistic. But the actual story is good. Since her writing isn't technically wrong or filled with errors, I just concentrate on the story rather than the quality of the prose.

And if you are heavily into Greek mythology, the storyline itself is a good one. She's done her homework!

[Mel]

Yeah, Tara said she's given up on making me like the Kenyon series. I just keep bitching about it. But it's because the premise is so good! Greek mythology, supernaturals, hot guys... what's not to like?
It's the simplistic writing and the unbelievable characters that put me off. I mean: one second they want to kill you, the next second they want to bed you. Like the short story in Dead
After Dark. The heroine has tried to kill the hero, twice. And calls him a filthy animal every other second. She's witnessed his torture. And after five minutes they're telling each other how much they love each other. And her child hood trauma is suddenly erased. And her view of the world changed. Five minutes is what it took. Wow.
Kenyon stretches believability even for PNR terms in my opinion.
That all being said, I'm still going to try Night Pleasures...

[Tara]

LOL! That short story does get a little rushed, and it's about the were-hunters which are not as good as the dark-hunters. But you know, the quick change is really standard, even in BDB. Doc Jane- kidnapped and hiding a razor in her pocket, and within the first day and a half she's bent over the sink (wow!), and within 3 days she's in love and doesn't want to let go. Or the same with that short story, by Ward in Dead After Dark- less than 3 days from prisoner to love. Beth, she has sex with Wrath without even getting his name and within 4 days she completely believes him that she's going to turn into a vampire. Or even my man Butch, he arrested Wrath and a week later he's living with him and is best buds with V and has abandoned his life. I'm just saying. :)

I can't help but defend it, but I meant it, I've accepted that you will never love the series. I can't wait for you to try Night Pleasures though... LOL.

[Mel]

Whoaaa Tara. You're playing the BDB-card now? Not fair!
No I know the sudden love and switches from hating to wanting are part of the PNR thing. But it should be done in a believable way. And, eventhough the BDB examples happened fast also, I could still relate to the characters.

(Shadow of the Moon)

"Would you die for me Lia?"
It was her turn to scowl. "Why do you ask me that?"
"Because I would die to keep you safe. That to me is what love is. I want to make sure that this time we both understand the terms. 'Cause if love to you is stabbing me and leaving me to die, then you can keep it".
She choked on a sob at his heartfelt words. "No, baby. That wasn't love. That was me being stupid, and I swear to you if I could go back and change that moment, I would stand there and fight for you...like I promised you I would."

I can't help but have an overly dramatic voice in my head when reading this. And mind you: this was one minute into sex. These two have been hating each other for centuries! And she just tried to kill him for the second time. And stood by while he was tortured.
Gaaaah!

[Tara]

LOL! See there's no convincing you to like SK! ;)

[Mel]

LOL. But I'm going to try Night Pleasures anyway :D

[Cindy]

Dimitri (vampire academy)
Patch from (gena showalter)
Edward (twilight series)

[The Flooze]

Oh, Fury & Lia. No, I didn't like the relationship aspect of that story. Fury deserved a lot more. Plus, it doesn't tell you anything about the dark hunters if you haven't read the rest of the series. It's part of the new story arc, which I don't know if I'm keen on yet. It's a bad example, Mel.
