[Laura]

Welcome, Taryn! Oh, have you come to the right place!!! I love all of Lisa Kleypas's books, but am especially fond of the Hathaway series and the Wallflower series. Don't worry, though. Anything you pick up by her will be great!

YAY!! You found us! :) Welcome to the group, Taryn.

The group is set up and well organized. There are threads for all her books, threads that give the reading order... just take a peek around!

[Autumn]

welcome Joan and Taryn!!! :) xxxxxxx

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

Welcome Taryn!:)

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

Welcome Joan! You pretty much said why I love LK's writing.

Welcome, Taryn. You might start with her Travis series, since it's contemporary. Warning: the first book is kind of more chick lit/women's fiction, but it's very good:

Welcome, Shannon!

[Talkit]

Hi Everyone,
1. Name Talkit
2. What are your favorite Lisa Kleypas books? Dreaming of You, Devil in Winter, Suddenly You, Tempt me at Twilight & Again the Magic…etc...
3. Who's your favorite Lisa Kleypas hero and heroine? Couple? Derek & Sara and Sebastian & Evie
4. What do you like about Lisa Kleypas books? Funny thing is she writes a lot of themes that I really don’t like…gypsy, spy, amnesia, and bookish hero. And yet she has me loving these characters!!! When I pick up one of her books and there is mention of a character from another book…I feel like I’ve come home to a community that I know and everyone else knows everyone. Another thing I love about her writing is she can make me burst out laughing, groan in despair, and turn beet red with embarrassment. She is one of the most talented authors writing today.

[Shelly]

Hi Talkit! Welcome to the group!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Welcome to the group, Talkit!! I personally can't choose a favorite because there are so many great ones!

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

Welcome Talkit! I totally agree with you that Lisa Kleypas is one of the most talented authors today. For me, the only other author who comes any where near her is Elizabeth Hoyt.

Ditto!

[Talkit]

Thanks for all the warm welcomes Shell's B, UM, Carol, Lisa Kay and Autumn!!! :)

Hmmm...Carol maybe I will have to give E. Hoyt another try. I have only read one of her books (To Beguile A Beast) and I couldn't really connect with the characters. What's your fav of hers?

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

Welcome, Talkit. Great introduction!

Talkit, I'm reading her Maiden Lane series at the moment and IMO they are her best books so far. Read the first two books in the series
and and anxiously waiting for November when the next book is published.

[ᑭᑌᑎƳᗩ [Punya Reviews...]]

Talkit, you may also try the Princes trilogy by EH. I loved them! :)

[Talkit]

Thanks for the suggestions Carol & Punya. I will give EH another try. A couple of the books you guys have mentioned have interesting story lines that have peaked my interest.

[Audrey]

Hi everyone!

I'm Audrey. I've only read two Lisa Kleypas books so far (Then Came You and Dreaming of You), but I can already tell that, um, she is AWESOME. :) Evidence of my obvious obsession: I've already bought (and have waiting to be read) eBay lots of the Wallflowers and Hathaways series, along with a few individual titles, including Suddenly You.

My first Kleypas book was actually DOY, which I read out of order, obviously. I just finished TCY last night and immediately went into a reread of DOY.

I can't really say if I have a favorite at this point because I've only read those two. However, I loved both heroes. Alex is probably my ideal - strong, fiercely protective, in touch with his feelings, enamored of his h's every move. Derek is amazing, too, though, and his struggle with his feelings makes for a compelling read. As for heroines, Sara in DOY is fine, but Lily in TCY is fantastic. She just seems so real and alive, making mistakes, giving off sass, and facing down whatever life brings her.

I'm gonna go against the grain and say that I think I liked TCY marginally better than DOY. We'll see if that opinion changes after my reread, however.

Looking forward to chatting about all things Kleypas with you!

[Lisa Kay]

Welcome, Audrey! Just re-read last month and enjoyed it tons.

[Autumn]

Welcome to the group Audrey!xxx

[Laura]

Welcome, Audrey! Glad to have you with us!

Oh, just wait until you've read more of Lisa's books. You won't be able to name just one favorite!

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

Welcome, Audrey. I'm glad you joined!

[Audrey]

Thanks so much for the welcome, Lisa Kay, Autumn, Laura and Danielle! I see some familiar faces here already. :)

Just finished up my reread of DOY and couldn't help crying at the end...again. Such a good book. I loved seeing more of Lily and Alex, too.

I have a whole bunch of Kleypas to catch up on, but I think I might take a break to plow through a pile of library books. Can't wait to catch up with you ladies soon on all things Kleypas!

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

Welcome to the group, Audrey! :)

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Hi Audrey!! Welcome to the group!

[Audrey]

Thanks, Carol and Dhestiny! I'm reading The Bride and the Beast right now, but already itching to get back to some Kleypas. It's like an addiction!

Also, to those of you who suggested Elizabeth Hoyt, just wanted to +1 that recommendation. I really liked her writing.

[ᑭᑌᑎƳᗩ [Punya Reviews...]]

Welcome Audrey. :)

[Audrey]

Hi, Punya! I like the illustration on your icon. :)

[ᑭᑌᑎƳᗩ [Punya Reviews...]]

Thanks Audrey. :) It's an artwork by Jessica Galbreth of the goddess Rhiannon. Never heard of the artist until as I was researching on Rhiannon and found this. Wish I was that talented! *sigh*

[When Funmi Met Romance]

1.Taiyesha
2. Devil In Winter :) its my all time favorite
3. Evangeline Jenner and Sebastian St.Vincent
4. I think them excelent pieces of literature. I LOVE historical romance, however, I'm so very picky. Lisa has always delivered for me in that category. There is actual romance, decent story lines, beautiful love making scenes. AND. She does a good job of making a LIKEABLE heroine. Her heroine has weaknesses and they have many strengths, they are not domineered or controlled by men who just know everything. The relationships are partnerships while still holding true to the stipulations of the time period. Wonderful reading experience with LK

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Hey there, Taiyesha! Welcome to the group!! Love the pronunciation guide to your name!

This is such a fun group! It's really well organized so you should be able to easily find anything you're looking for. We have group reads, buddy reads, a games folder and the monthly Not Too Challenging Challenges, too!

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

Welcome, Taiyesha! I agree with you about LK's books. I am a picky historical romance reader as well. And she's in my top list of writers!
