Hehe Michelle, I think your full attention is on pushing Soulless (and succeeding) so I'm not worried. New_User, we 'll do that together. And were you going to read the Cassie Palmer series this month?
Jean-Claude from Anita Blake (he kills me with the French) and Rehvenge from JR Ward's BDB (he cleans up after himself and everything! lol!). If I can have all of the men, well, the list is atleast 10 long (not like that, dirty!)...but I'll keep it down to 2.
Hey I'm not pushing... although I can't wait for you to read LAv, but that doesn't count since it's already in your plans. I don't know I'll do when Lover Mine comes out. I don't think I can wait all those months for you to read it, I might have to just send you my copy!
The best character to fall in love with, did I ever answer the question this thread was about? Doesn't matter it changes everyday for me. I have to add the BDB boys- My favs are Butch, V, Phury, and Qhuinn. I'm sure at some point Eric Northman was put on my list. Bones from Night huntress, Dorian from the Dark Swan books, Valerius, Zarek, Xypher, Vane, Wren from the dark-hunter books... Hmm.. maybe I need to cut my list down, it will take me 2 weeks to get through all those guys... although it would be a great 2 weeks...

Oh Tara, that's sweet! Lover Avenged... oh these two words just send shivers down my spine. The anticipation is killing me!
Come to think of it: I don't imagine myself waiting for the paperback when Lover Mine comes out. Waiting a month to read reviews and chat about the books is hardly do-able, let alone 6 months! I think I'll just buy the hardcopy :D

Wait you already saw that cause you wanted to share saturday. :D
Mmmm, Xypher. Tara you picked all my own fav DHs! Except for Wren. I didn't take much to him for some reason. I'll sub in Solin.
What is HEA?And yes, Simi should have eaten Heifer Goddess! I still think Acheron rocks.
And I agree Kisten from Kim Harrison's books. I did cry over that book like crazy. And how about Damon Sadi from the Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop?
Gina - HEA is happily ever after. Kelly - I think Lord Maccon might be out for most of book 2. Part of the story is about him disappearing. Hopefully he isn't gone for to long.

:-( I hate that Kelley Armstrong did that with her 2nd book too. I loved Clay and then nada.
SPOILER FOR SOULLESSWell, they're married, so he can't be gone completely! But apparently, he does go missing. Maybe they'll at least have a steamy reunion. Oh, it'll frustrate the heck out of him to have to be saved by Alexia. Muah hah hah hah!
/SPOILER FOR SOULLESS
I'm adoring all the mad love for Lord Maccon. Yippee!
Oops! And I can't edit it from my phone. Crap!
Oh well, no worries, it's not that big a spoiler, all things considered.
hmmm... for me itsedward & jasper cullen (twilight saga)
gale (the hunger games) =D
sam (shiver)
henry schoonmaker (the luxe)
Dimitri Belikov from Vampire Academy and Eric Northman from the Sookie Stackhouse series are my faovrites.
Hmm, I may have posted to this before, but just in case, I'm posting again. =) Oh, and we aren't really supposed to pick just one, are we?Qhuinn, Rehvenge, Zsadist and Vishous - Black Dagger Brotherhood
Curran - Kate Daniels
Dante - The Maker's Song
Adam - Mercy Thompson
Clay - (Women of the) Otherworld
Shane - Morganville Vampires
Cade - Immortals After Dark
Dimitri - Vampire Academy
Seth and Niall - Wicked Lovely
Acheron - Dark Hunters
Cole - Jaz Parks
Sister mine, you're worse than me. At least I only picked seven!I'm fine with your BDB choice if you'll lend me Zsadist and V for a day in the week. I'll combine V with Butch and I'll add JM for another day of the week ;P
LOL. I already called V for Saturday two pages ago. I'll have Z on Friday and let you gals fight over them the rest of the week. Deal? Ok deal! :D
2 pages ago I hadn't finished V yet *pouts* not fare! V is so a Saturday night kinda guy. I think we gotta pick number's or something.
Mel wrote: "Sister mine, you're worse than me. At least I only picked seven!..."LOL, variety is the spice of life, right? ;)
Honestly though, Sister Mine, if I could have Qhuinn or Rehv, I would begrudgingly offer up Z and V in return. Ha!
But... but... Sister Mine, you wound me. ;)Guess, I'll just have to be happy with the rest of my list.
Sigh. . . I guess I will be happy with Bones and Dorian. But V, Wow!!! HOT! But, Mel, you get tired girl, let me know!!! I'm now on Phury but from what I've heard so far, so looking forward to Rehv.
Gotta love the Brother's!!!
I'll let you know when I get tired Andrea, IF you promise to give Lover Enshrined a fair chance. Cause I really can't stand the low reviews for that book and the bad treatment Phury got (from Ward and from the Brotherhood).All in all I think Lover Enshrined was one of the best book of the series. Urban fantasy combined with romance. And, despite V's bathroom scene, Phury had more and hotter sex scenes (the class room scene was hot! It's great reading about the male virgins, they just experience everything on such an intense level).
So: enjoy!
I second that - LEn is if not tied, then in second place with LAv for my favorite in the series. Seriously, the books get better with every release!But for me, it wasn't Phury that won me over, it was the boys - Yummy, yummy Qhuinn, JM and his boldness and Qhuinn and... Honestly - it's brilliant! Sigh... I may have to queue that one up as my next audiobook...
Promise! I couldn't put it down last night, it's really good so far. But I hate the drug addiction, it's so weak to me. With all that Phury has been through it's really hard for me to see him so weak. Honestly the only one I had trouble getting through was Butch, I don't know why but really I just couldn't get into it. I think I will go get Avenged tonight so when I finish Enshrined I don't have to go to the book store :)
Oh an has anyone read that Guide book or whatever, both my bookstores are out of it. Should I order it on-line?
Definitely - order it! Bella and Z's story is brilliant, the board chat and out takes are hilarious, and the interviews - priceless. You must have it! And it's fair game to read after Phury's book. =)Oh and definitely go and get LAv - there's nothing like a weekend full of BDB goodness!
I second mine sister, the Insider's Guide is a must have. Wrath fly fishing, the lie about Vishous, Wellsie in memoriam, deleted scenes (the first deleted one from LEn is hot!)... everything you need to complete your status as BDB-addict (admit it!).
hmmm...here are a few:)jasper(twilight)
shane(morganville vampires)
darcy(pride and prejudice)
finn(megan meade's guide to the mcgowan boy's)
jace(immortal instuments)
nash(my soul to take)
I see a lot of you love the BVB Brothers, however mine fav would have to be Wrath. He seems so mysterious and not too perfect with the wraparounds. I don't usually go for blondes but I love me some Bones, from Jeaniene Frost's series. Gotta love that accent.
Dimitri, from VA series...
Also...Edward will always have a special place in my heart...lol
Move over Cat... I'm in love with BOOOOONES!!!! too right, luv! LoL. Omg he is sweet, caring, a big laugh and full of props (chap 32..HELLO!) Jeaniene Frost - Night huntress series is fan-freakng-tastic. If she won't give me Bones I'll take V, Rhage (bdb) or Creed from Sydney Croft ACRO Series. I could list so many more. Wow lol. Can't forget Dimitri (va) hehexoxo Adrienne xoxo

I haven't finished but I already want more. :) I am just nervous cus everyone says archeon (sp) is sad. I don't like sad :( I like HEA's!!
Xoxo Adrienne xoxo
LOL, Adrienne. Me too, but I'm sure the ending is HEA. Actually, I'm wondering if I should just read Acheron's snippets from the other books and then his book, since he's obviously the favorite of the series. I've heard a lot of bad things about her style, so I figure I should get right to the supposedly best one if I want any hope rather than work through her entire giant list. LOL.
NU, you'll know after the first book or two whether or not you like her style. There are some who don't, but she's got a huge fan base, so there are a lot more that do. I skipped Fantasy Lover and then have read everything up through the latest release (with the exception of a couple of Dream Hunter books). Overall, I really like the series. However, I don't care for the direction she's taking it, so may not continue on with it as regularly - but there are others who love it. Basically though, you'll just have to try it out for yourself. =)
