1) Rebecca
2) Married by Morning, Love in the Afternoon, and Tempt Me At Twilight. Could you tell I've only read the Hathaway series so far (well, and the first of the Wallflower series that I've just finished yesterday)?
3) Leo and Catherine! I can't help it, I'm such a sucker for the "we hate each other, nope -- we love each other" relationship. It also doesn't hurt, of course, that Leo is, well, Leo. Which is awesome.
4) It's hard to find something I don't like about her books! They're romantic, fun, and such a joy to read. And reading a series about a family, such as the Hathaways, really made me feel a part of it -- like I was privy to their secrets and lives. It was so sad to end the series and, thus, my time with the family! I can't wait to read more!

2)Smooth Talking Stranger, Sugar Daddy
3)Liberty and Gage, Ella and Jack
4)I've read only two of her books, but I'm hungrily looking for more. Her writing style is very ongoing, I hate reading a book if it feels like watching paint dry. Fortunately Kleypas's books aren't like that =)

Its so good to find a group dedicated to Lisa Kleypas as its nice to see other people love her books just like me.

1. Name
I'm Leanne but use the anonymous name of Leetid for everything.

2. What are your favorite Lisa Kleypas books?
Of the ones I have read my favourites are:
Devil In Winter
Someone to Watch Over Me
Where Dreams Begin
Suddenly You
Mine Till Midnight

3. Who's your favorite Lisa Kleypas hero and heroine? Couple?
Got to be Evie and Sebastian from Devil In Winter.

4. What do you like about Lisa Kleypas books?
I love the way she transports you back in history and drops you in the Regency/Georgian world. Her books are passionate and funny with feisty strong females and classic heros that you fall in love with!

I am slowly collecting all her books and can't wait to the collection complete so I can just sit there and read them all.

It Happened One Autumn (Wallflowers, #2) by Lisa Kleypas
I love books by LK because she is a tremendous writer who creates believable characters and story lines. She really draws you in and makes you feel good with her writing.

Lori | 27 comments 1. Name
Lori
2. What are your favorite Lisa Kleypas books?
Devil in Winter, Blue-Eyed Stranger, Only With Your Love, When Strangers Marry.

3. Who's your favorite Lisa Kleypas hero and heroine? Couple?
St. Vincent! I want that man's clone. Justin Vallerand is a close second. Hardy Cates ties closely with the other two....any of the 3 I'd take. Leo Hathaway's humor I simply love. Heroines...well Haven Travis of course, Beatrix Hathaway, Lillian Bowman. I Love Westcliff and Lillian and Leo and Catherine as couples.
4. What do you like about Lisa Kleypas books?
I don't know how she does it.....I think there's only one book I really haven't liked of hers....her story-telling, language, characters, humor....she has a rare talent and gift in the world of romance books.

Nissie Lambert Hi, Lori! Welcome!


Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie* (httpsrakesandrascalswordpresscom) | 2140 comments Welcome Lori. You'll just love this group because the ladies are all fantastic!!


message 481: by Lori (new)

Lori | 27 comments Thank you for the welcome! I am already loving reading the posts...I'm sooo behind! Bekah, I really didn't like Prince of Dreams. That's the one I can honestly say I won't read again....I am not totally sure why...could have been some of the subject matter. THe abuse. Wasn't a big fan of Sugar Daddy either, but it's easily read-againable. Not so Prince of Dreams for me.


message 482: by Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic (new)

Bekah (bekah317) | 2750 comments I haven't read Prince of Dreams yet. But Sugar Daddy was a 5 star read for me. I just adored Gage...and when I say adored, I'm vastly understating the depth of my feeling for that man! :-)

So glad you're enjoying yourself here already!

Hello - You are probably in a majority on this dislike. I liked Prince of Dreams myself- I prefer her darker/more strongly plotted books. I didn't like either of the Capitol Theatre books though.

 Danielle The Book Huntress  (gatadelafuente) | 3737 comments Welcome, Lori.


message 485: by Laura (new)

Laura (filoviridae) | 783 comments I didn't particularly care for Prince of Dreams either.


message 486: by Lori (new)

Lori | 27 comments LOL well I'm glad I'm not alone, although I can see why POD would appeal to some people as well. I don't know...I like how she weaves in the social issues of the time period (which much of the time are same issues in modern times) without being crass....but maybe it's my work offline that gave me the heavie-jeavies with that book. Hard to say.

Bekah (bekah317) | 2750 comments Whats your work Lori?


message 488: by Lori (new)

Lori | 27 comments I do a dual work.....I work in an adoption program and am a crisis advocate after-hours for a local sexual assault crisis center. I guess I've seen the effects such horrible abuse can have on people....so I get kinda icky if I read about it.


message 489: by Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic (new)

Bekah (bekah317) | 2750 comments I understand. Thats the line of work I've been in for the last 8 years. It takes a toll. Be sure to take care of yourself! It's a privilage to serve those in need, isn't it?


message 490: by Lori (new)

Lori | 27 comments It is but...you're right, it can take a toll big time. IT is wonderful....I feel useful!

Desperado (lethallovely) 1. Name: Ammarylis-yes that's my real name, unfortunately. :(

2. What are your favorite Lisa Kleypas books?: Suddenly You by Lisa Kleypas Dreaming of You (Gamblers, #2) by Lisa Kleypas When Strangers Marry (Vallerands, #1) by Lisa Kleypas Because You're Mine (Capital Theatre, #2) by Lisa Kleypas Seduce Me at Sunrise (The Hathaways, #2) by Lisa Kleypas

3. Who's your favorite Lisa Kleypas hero and heroine? Couple?: Ooh, that's a big toughie. I'd have to say Amanda Briars & Jack Devlin from Suddenly You for couple. Hero: Derek Craven. Heroine: Don't really have one. I love them all equally.

4. What do you like about Lisa Kleypas books? I like how LK can tell the same story that I've read over & over again & make it seem new to me.

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments Welcome to the group, Judy! I've read Bow Street Runners, Wallflowers and Hathaways, and a few stand alones.

And yes, LK writes great flawed heroes and heroines, and does a great job of redeeming them in the end.
