I have this book but I haven't read it yet. But I am looking forward to it!

I went shopping and got some new releases today that I've been waiting for!
I just finished Secrets of a Summer Night by Lisa Kleypas. It started a little slow for me, but I ended up enjoying it. Now I'm looking forward to the rest of the Wallflowers.:-)
Julie I'm so jealous that you are reading these for the first time! I love the Wallflowers, one of the top series of all time for me! :)
I know what you mean, Cheryl. Every time I see someone just starting a favorite series or book of mine, I wish I could hit a re-set button to forget everything and start over. Maybe in about 10 years I'll have forgotten enough for it to be almost like new.;-)

Mod
Oh Danielle, who is your number 1 and 2 favorite LK hero? I think I know who #1 is ( St. Vincent)... but #2?
Mod
Oh... I haven't read his book yet! I hear it's a good one!

Danielle "The Book Huntress" wrote: "Cheryl, great list of books. Julie, Simon is my number three favorite LK hero."I really liked Simon, but I think my top three LK heroes so far are Nick Gentry, Zachary Bronson and Ross Cannon. Then again I have lots more to go, so my list will probably change at some point. I haven't even read your #1 & #2 choices yet.;-)
Ooooh, Nick Gentry!!! He is tied for first for my all time favorite heroes... I can't pick who I like more, Nick or Westcliff... both are very sigh-worthy!
Mod
I think this is my long list:
1.St. Vincent
2.Derek Craven
3.Simon Hunt
4.Harry Rutledge
5.Cam Rohan
6.Nick Gentry
7.John McKenna
8.Ross Cannon
9.Alex Raiford
10.Grant Morgan

Prince Nikolas (Prince of Dreams), Logan Scott (Because You're Mine), Damon (Somewhere I'll Find You).
I really liked Hardy Cates in Sugar Daddy. I might end up putting him in my top ten after I read Blue-Eyed Devil.
Alex Raiford is my # one but the thing is I think I love Lily just as much...... #2 for me is Leo. Although I didn't super love his book collectively with him in all the Hathaway books I love him.
#3 Would be Cam
I haven't read all her HR or any of her comtemp's but so far that is my top 3 list.
I did really like Nick but I just didn't love his book therefore leaving me wanting something more from him.
What book is Alex Raiford from?Danielle there are a couple of heroes in your list I've not read yet so I can't wait to read them and compare lists!

Cheryl, you and I really do have pretty similar tastes in heroes (both in character and looks)! ^_^
And since we're listing fave LK heroes…hmm…and it's really hard for me to rank them but in my top 10 are...
1. Marcus, Lord Westcliff
2. Nick Gentry
3. Sebastian, St. Vincent
4. Cam Rohan
5. Hardy Cates
6. Jack Travis
7. Gage Travis
8. John McKenna
9. Derek Craven
10. Alex Raiford
Oh shoot! I need to fit Harry Rutledge in there somehow, since he looks like Richard Armitage….hmmm…okay…that's my Top 11! ^_^ Wait! And Leo Hathaway!!! Argh! It's too hard to pick a Top 10 of LK's heroes. I love so many!
And Cheryl, FYI, Alex Raiford is from Then Came You, Bk. 1 of the Gamblers of Craven.
Oh Yay, Jayne, I'm glad you joined in! And you're right, we do have the same preferences in our heroes! I don't know your #5,6,7,9 and 10... I shall have to read them, they are bound to be favorites! And LK is one of those authors who just hardly ever writes a bad hero!
*gasp!* You haven't read the Travis series and Craven series yet, Cheryl??? Oh, are you in for some treats! And I agree about LK's heroes. She makes it difficult to choose. ^_^
I do like Logan and Damon from the Capitol Theatre series that Danielle mentioned, but because of all these other great LK heroes, they are bumped to the bottom of the list. Hehehe! And I was intrigued by Prince Nikolai form my glimpse of him in Midnight Angel, I just haven't gotten to his book, Prince of Dreams yet.
My plan is to own all of her books one day... but I have put myself on a buying-book-ban until I've read some of the books I already own... so some of these heroes will have to wait a little longer! But it gives me something to look forward to!

Just finished Sherry Thomas' new novel and really enjoyed it. Go read it ;)It almost bordered on Edwardian times, but I'm guessing it is right at the end of the Victorian era based on the hints she gave in the text.
Very good. Did I mention that you should read it? :)
Mod
Currently reading Tomorrow's Mmemories by Audrey Howard. Set in England in 1850s.
Mod
last week, as far as Victorians. Loved it!
Mod
Lizz, good list of books!
Mod
. I forgot how much I love Connie Brockway's writing.
Oddly enough, hers was the only novella in this anthology that I didn't really care for. If I'm remembering correctly, I just thought it was too cheesy. I do remember liking the others pretty well, especially the Catherine Anderson and Casey Claybourne stories.:-)
One of many I'm reading right now, but the only one pertinent to this group:
. It's not officially out yet, but I'm getting an advanced peek at the work. :-)
Mod
Sharon, I'd like to read Deception, and others by Jaimey.
Perhaps I will try another one sometime, Danielle. I remember seeing a trilogy of hers on my MIL's bookshelf a while back.I just realized that I'm currently reading a Victorian romance, Longing by Mary Balogh, although I should be finishing it today.

Which author are you speaking of? I've scrolled back and tried to figure it out, but alas, I'm a dimwit and cannot. LOL
Mod
Thanks, Danielle!!! It took me a minute to remember what you were talking about. LOL
Mod
I just finished
