[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

It's been fun having you in the group, Miss Kate, and thanks for officially introducing yourself :)

I'm with you in that it seems like my favorite couple is the one in whichever book I happen to be reading! LOL

[Ronyell]

Hello Miss Kate!! Glad to meet you in this group!!

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

Welcome Miss Kate.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Here's an official hello to you, Kate!

[Desperado]

Welcome to the group, Miss Kate! =)

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

[Kate]

I have to concur. :D

[Barbara]

1. Name: Barbara

2. What are your favorite Lisa Kleypas books? Honestly, I love all her books, but I adored...Again the Magic, Scandal In Spring, Because You're Mine, Stranger In My Arms, Dreaming of You.

3. Who's your favorite Lisa Kleypas hero and heroine? Couple? Definitely McKenna and Aline!

4. What do you like about Lisa Kleypas books? I think her characters are very well thought out and realistic with their emotions and actions. LK has such a way of writing heroes you can't help but sigh over, and heroines you can't help but root for :)

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Hi Barbara!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome, welcome to the group! And I ADORE McKenna!!! I think he's my favorite hero, too. *sigh*

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

Hello Barbara!!! Welcome to the group! What did you think of her contemporaries?

[Barbara]

I liked them, but I'm a historical fan through and through. I did adore Hardy, though ;)

[Barbara]

Hi, UniquelyMoi *~*Dhestiny*~*! I KNOW! McKenna will always hold the number one slot with me. I've concluded that long ago ;)

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

She just writes great heroes!!!!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Kate, I feel the same way. Barbara, welcome to the group.

[Heidi]

Welcome Kate and Barbara!

[Angela]

Welcome to Barbara and Kate! Glad you're here.

[Barbara]

Hi Lady Danielle and Heidi! Thank you for the warm welcome :)

[♥ℳelody]

My name is Melody
Favorite so far is Devil In Winter
Favorite hero St. Vincent DUH! :P Evie is my favorite heroine and Evie and Sebastian are my fav couple. They are just too adorable for words!

What I like, LOVE actually is her writing style. She draws you in completely from the very first chapter. Her characters are compelling, fully developed and you can relate to them and just fall in love with them. For me at least.lol Her stories tend to have a darker edge to it for historical romance books which is what I love about it. Darker gritty and more realistic to the times. Very angsty tension-filled and full of drama that's not half-baked or forced into the story. Let's not forget the passion!!! Oh my! She also brings up issues that relate to the time and setting of the story. Her stories are socially conscious for the most part and it's a nice bonus. She makes you fall in love with her characters (the ones I've read about so far)

I'm hoping to read more of her books.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Welcome to the group, Melody! I couldn't agree with you more about her writing, but my favorite hero is John McKenna. I adore him!

[♥ℳelody]

Thanks!

John McKenna... oooh which book is he from?

I'm right now on the Hathaway series so I'm slowly working my way through the list. :P

John McKenna is from a Wallflowers prequel.

Welcome, Melody. Great description of Lisa Kleypas.

[Autumn]

hey!! and i just realized that i havent been introduced, but rather intruded into the convo! ahahh well.. whats to say about me?? im Autumn.. Live in NY.. and.. Like all of us here.. LK is the glue that hold us together..

im so glad i found a place where i can discuss the trivialities of the romance genre.. u see, Im a Biochemist.. and imagine me reading a sizzling romance while doing some experiment.!! haahah kinda of weird.. and not many ppl can see the persona past that. (my field is inundated with males.. so its my little secret ;) and im sooo thrilled to be able to share that little secret passion of mine. i want to fall in love over and over.. unfortunately im very selective with the reading..so far Julia Quinn,KP, and Judith McNaught are the ones that keep me hanging.. :)

btw: is there any code as to how i can put the name of the book and the cover shows instead.??? like the post above me..

thx!!!!!!!!! for all this camaraderie... i love it


Atumn!

Hello!

I had to ask about the code too- click on "add book/author" above the comment box and then click on cover at the bottom of the new box that opens. That'll fix it.

[♥ℳelody]

Welcome Autumn!

I can kind of relate to your "secrete passion" I'm a Graphic Designer, went to Art School and not one person I met there knows or have read Romance novels, it goes with the cliche stereotype that they are too cheesy or trashy and "bad design" when it comes to the covers. I disagree completely well on some books/authors that is. lol In my world you either read about art movements, designers or zines so yeah romance books don't fit the bill. Which is why I hate to say this it's my 'secrete guilty pleasure' as well. Wish it doesn't have to be a secrete or so 'hush hush'. They are just books! Guys especially need to get over their ridiculous fear of them.

I think it's ridiculous that books of this genre get such a bad rep. Yeah there are bad ones out there but depends on who the author is. Just gotta find the good ones! :D

Melody wrote: "Welcome Autumn!

YES YES YES!!!!!!!!! Thats what i mean!!! so many cliche novels out there.. (or just dont hold my particular interest) BUT for instance LK novels (the most recent one, do show how much shes grown and understanding relationships.. and i love the interaction between the characters more than the "happily ever after" i like the way they confront each other and with the sense of humor she pairs it.. God damn she makes some High standards LOL!! i would love for ppl to stop label them as cheesy romance.. but as a learning experience as well..

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

Welcome Atumn!!! So GREAT to have you. My opinion on the cliche/stereotype...Often times the books I'm reading get turned into a movie which millions flock to go see...so really whats the diff? If its not the exact book I'm reading, its a variation of it. Really...doesn't almost every movie with the exception of horror have romance in it? Some piece of romance. Its in ALL of our lives in some form or another...so maybe I'm reading a contemporary suspense with romance today..tomorrow it's a feature film with George Clooney and Julia Roberts. Whats the difference???

[Heidi]

I think we need to start a topic on WHY WE READ ROMANCE...that might be interesting.

[Grace]

Hi Autumn and Melody especially,
I totally I agree. I'm a veterinarian and only discovered HR in past few years. Previously put off by the 'cheesy' image - how wrong can a girl be! I love it and now spreading the word. A HR evangelist! I believe there is enough stress in real life, to award yourself an escape into a world of fantasy and romance! Indeed, it's not just a reward, but essential for sanity!

Hear, hear! I'm also in the science field (microbiologist) and while I enjoy reading associated non-fiction and medical mysteries, sometimes I want to escape from what I deal with every day. I like knowing I'm going to get a HEA with romances and since I have eclectic reading taste I refuse to be embarrassed because I enjoy 'bodice rippers'.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Hey, I'm in the science field too. Small world. I am also a veterinarian, but I am in public health now. I am very two sided: the analytical, scientific mind, and the artistic, feeling side. I think my artistic/feeling side is what makes me love romance novels. :)

I'm not ashamed to read romance novels, although I've been picked on my whole life for it. They make me happy and a more relaxed person. How can that be a bad thing?

[Grace]

I dont think the book covers help - I know I shouldnt, but when I read mostly paperbacks I chose covers that werent too sexy cos I was embarassed. It's actually a lot easier to go with the books I truly love now I have a Kindle. Ooh, this is confession time isnt it!

[Laura]

I love the covers for some reason...maybe because there is usually a hunky dude in some state of undress? :P

If I have to choose between the old school 'sexy cover' and a boring reprint...I'll search high and low for the original.

[Grace]

OK, sold it to me. Hunky dudes every time! There, that wasnt so hard to admit. Phew.

[Gokce G]

Hey everyone, I'm Gokce.
I've only read the first two books in the Wallflowers series but it was love at first read :) I can't believe I haven't joined in here before, I love her writing style, the romances, the characters, the humor are all very enjoyable. I'm looking forward to reading more of her work.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Heya, Gokce! Welcome to the group :)

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

Welcome Gokce!!!

[Gokce G]

Thanks UniquelyMoi *~*Dhestiny*~* and Bekah!! :)

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Welcome, Gokce. Glad to have you. I like a good couple clinch cover over the bland landscape covers they have now on many HRs. I like seeing the women in lovely gowns too.

[Desperado]

Welcome to the group, Gokce! I'm a recent member myself & I already love this group! Of course, that probably has less to do with my love of Kleypas & more because three of my very good friends are moderators on here! Not to mention, all the other wonderful people I've met here since I joined. =) Hope you have fun & come to enjoy this group as much as I have.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

That was such a nice thing to say, LL!
