[Mey]

Hi all I am Mey from the Philippines, all her books are my favorite.. but what I love most are:
Devil in winter from the wallflower series,
mine til midnight from the hathaway series
lady sophia's lover from the bow street series :-)
my favorite couple is Leo and Evie. The good thing about LK's books is different from the other books. there's a touch reality and the deep love from each character. :-)

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

[Edna]

1. Edna
2. Devil in Winter, Then Came You, Smooth Talking Stranger. Honorable mention for Sugar Daddy because it was my first Kleypas book.
3. Sebastian and Evie
4. She has an amazing ability to draw you into the world of the books. I just love her writing style. Her characters can be so easy to like, the romances make me sigh, and the humor amuses me to no end.

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

It's so great that LK has a new fan base from her contemporary books.

[Julie]

Danielle, thank you so much for the invitation.=)


1. Julie
2. Dreaming of You, Where Dreams begin, Mine til Midnight.
3. I love Derek Craven and Cam Rohan. For heroine I love Amelia Hathaway because she was so unselfish. As for couple I love the chemistry between Derek and Sara Fielding.
4.She writes the most amazing love scenes.

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

Julie, I really admired Amelia. She turned out to be a great heroine. I love LK's love scenes too. Sexy and steamy, but always romantic.

[Julie]

Danielle, your right about steamy and always so very romantic.

[Rochelle]

1. Name: Rochelle
2. Favorite Kleypas books: I can't pick one like in the poll! ;) I loved Devil in Winter, Scandal in Spring, Mine Till Midnight, All of the Travis books, Worth Any Price....
3. Who's your favorite Lisa Kleypas hero and heroine? Couple? I loved Daisy because she was so ballsy, Sophia, Lottie, and Ella; I like strong female characters. Men I liked pretty much everyone as long as they didn't start out looking for revenge: Simon Hunt, Nick Gentry, Cam Rohan, and Jack Travis. Favorite couple is either Nick and Charlotte, Cam and Amelia, or Jack and Ella.
4. What do you like about Lisa Kleypas books? I love the romance, the "chase" she describes, how incredible she makes her men, and the escapism she provides me!

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

Welcome to everyone!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Welcome, everyone! Danielle has given us a wonderful place to meet and chat about Lisa's books! I hope you love it here as much as I do!

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

Thanks, everyone for joining! Otherwise I'd just have to talk to myself about how much I love this author's books. LOL!

[Mae]

1. HMS
2. Because You're Mine, Devil in Winter, Meet me at Twilight, Dreaming of You
3. Logan/Maddy, St. Vincent/Evie, Harry/Poppy, Derek/Sara
4. I love almost everyone of her books, very few do I rate under a 4*. There is just something about her writing that just draws you in making you love the characters. Love how she can create a "villian" and make him the hero.

[Alycia]

Danielle, I had to laugh at this, you are funny! No one would let you just talk to yourself :)

I can just picture you talking to yourself about St. Vincent and coming up with your own little plans for him! You're so funny!

Umm....Maybe! :)

[Lady Jayne *~*The Beach Bandida*~*]

1. Hi all! I'm Jayne from Australia. Thanks for the invite, Dhestiny! I've been a Kleypas fan since 2007. The only books of hers that I haven't yet read are Prince of Dreams and her early works (pre-1990 books). I've enjoyed all her books, but some more than others. I'm a huge LK fan and have been singing praises of her books in my main group, the Cyber Book Club, where we read all kinds of books.

2. My fave Kleypas books are Again the Magic, Wallflowers Series (with It Happened One Autumn and Devil in Winter being my top 2) and the Hathaway series.

3. My fave hero? Hmm…so many wonderful men to choose from, but my top 5 faves are:
- Marcus Lord Westcliff (for being such a responsible, strong man, willing to defy years of programming and convention to be with a crazy American);
- Sebastian St. Vincent (for being the redeemable rascal that he is, and for the way he cares for Evie);
- Cam Rohan (for not only being a sexy Romany but the way he takes care of Amelia and the ecclectic and eccentric Hathaway family, and also for not only willing to accept his "stopping place" but embracing it);
- Hardy Cates (this blue-eyed devil is one sexy man, that just sizzles off the page - I see him as a modern St. Vincent);
- Jack Travis (for his sense of humour and sense of family and because he's also very sexy).

Heck! They're all sexy! LOL

My Fave couple? Again, I can't just choose one: Marcus and Lillian, Sebastian and Evie, and Cam and Amelia.

My Fave heroine? Evie (for having inner strength and just being such a darling) and Amelia (who loves her family so much and takes her responsibilities very seriously. I'm so happy she found Cam, they compliment each other well).

4. What do you like about Lisa Kleypas books?

I love the way she writes and the heroes and heroines she creates are so three dimensional. You can't help but fall madly in love with her heroes and her heroines are admirable, strong women who you can see yourself being friends with. Of course, they all have their flaws, which is what makes them so real. I love LK's characterisations. I love the way she writes love scenes (so steamy and yet romantic and tender, too). I love the dialogue and banter between the heroes and heroines, and also between friends (like in the Wallflowers) and between family (like in the Hathaway and Travis series). I just love her writing and her books are definite keepers, for me, like old friends that I look forward to spending time with.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

What a lovely introduction, Lady Jayne! I'm so new to Lisa that I haven't even finished the Wallflowers yet!

It's great to have you in the group!

[Lady Jayne *~*The Beach Bandida*~*]

Thanks, Dhestiny! I'm kinda jealous of you that you have so many of her wonderful novels to experience for the first time. There's nothing like the first time. ^_^ Of course, every time thereafter is also special. Like I said, like spending time with old friends again. LK's characters live on in your head and heart long after you finish the last page of her books. At least, that's been my experience. ^_^

[Holly]

Me too. I'm only on book two of The Wallflowers!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Holly wrote: "Me too. I'm only on book two of the Wallflowers..."

They are wonderful!!!

[Lady Jayne *~*The Beach Bandida*~*]

You have a lot of great books to look forward to, ladies! ^_^

As I said, there are so many great LK heroes….but I would be remiss if I didn't also give honourable mention to Kev Merripen from the Hathaway series. He is the strong, silent type who has loved silently for so many years. He is a pillar to the eccentric Hathaway family. Kev, Cam and the incorrigible Leo Hathaway ( I adore him, too ^_^), as well as the ladies of the Hathaway family, are what make the Hathaway series one of my faves.

Seriously though, it's hard not to love a Lisa Kleypas hero. Those Bow Street Runner men - Sir Ross, Grant Morgan and Nick Gentry? Derek Craven? Zachary Bronson? Simon Hunt? Matthew Swift? I better stop, or I'll name all LK's heroes! LOL They're all heroes to sigh and swoon over.

[Holly]

I might only be on my third LK book, but i already know that she is fast becoming one of my favorite authors.

[Anne OK]

It only took one and I was hooked! LK is an amazing author. I only wish she wrote faster!!!!

[Lady Jayne *~*The Beach Bandida*~*]

Same here, Anne. I was hooked from my first book, It Happened One Autumn.

I think LK's been writing pretty fast lately, myself. She had Smooth Talking Stranger, and Tempt Me at Twilight out in 2009. And in 2008 she had Seduce Me at Sunrise and A Wallflower Christmas. She's got Married by Morning (#4 Hathaway) due out on 25 May this year and then a month later Love in the Afteroon (#5 Hathaway) on 29 June this year. I think that's really great that she can produce more than one book a year. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'd love more LK books, but an average of 2 books a year is pretty phenomenal, I think. ^_^

[Lady Jayne *~*The Beach Bandida*~*]

And she's also writing that new contemporary series set in Friday Harbor. I hope she also writes Joe Travis' story. The last info I read, she hadn't planned on Joe's story yet. I need more Travis men. ^_^

[Verity]

What do you like about Lisa Kleypas books?
Her swoon-worthy heroes, 'cuz they're sooo into the heroines & U can feel the luv bordering on obsession. I can re-read my fav LK books over & over again & won't ever get sick & tired of 'em. The heroes make me sigh & wish they're standing in front of me so I can tie 'em to my bed & express my luv for 'em =)~ They ooze sexiness from their every pore. I've always equated 'em w/ delicious coffee bean blast ice cream. 1 spoon is not enuff, gotta have the whole pint.

[[deleted user]]

I think my favorite book is Where Dreams Begin, but Blue-eyed devil is avery close.

Love Zac and Holly and also Hardy and Haven.

I love LK's books because her characters have such chemistry!(I have read and own every single one, even teh early one)...Love that her heros have testosterone coming out fo their pores, and I love how she makes the bad guys the BEST! I have thing for bad guys! Guess thats why I love Hardy so muh!

Kathy Anne,
Have you started a Kleypas book yet? I am almost halfway through Secrets of a Summer Night (wallflowers 1) and am really liking it! :)

[Shel]

My favorite is Again the Magic. I cry every time I read it. Wallflowers series comes in second.
Can't wait for the rest of the Hathaway series!

Oh, I'm so glad to hear that. I cried, too!!!! After he had sent the flowers and had gone to her... and the way she treated him... oh, I was so sad.

Hi Alycia,
I finally got the first of the books I ordered from Amzn yesterday afternoon,it was Sugar Daddy.I am about 40 pages in, and I like what I have read so far,I think I`ll enjoy the whole book.
Anyway I ordered the three Wallflowers and the three Contemps.I didn`t realize I need to order the Hathaways because they apparantly continue on from the Wallflowers.

The Wallflowers are pretty much resolved, so you're ok without reading Hathaways. But, one of the characters from Devil in Winter is the hero in one of the Hathaway books.

Here is a link to my review of Again the Magic and at the bottom of the review, I have the suggested reading order.

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Now, I'm not trying to talk you out of Hathaways, I'm going to read that series too, I'm just explaining that you don't have to read it to be finished with Wallflowers.

[[deleted user]]

UM,
Thanks for the prompt answer to that question because I was getting ready to order them but I`ll wait now and order them after reading the ones I have-I do have to order Again The Magic tho and I will check out your link,I seem to get brain spaz when I try to figure out the order of books on Amzn.

It bothers me when the book sellers don't list the reading order. But yes, I have links to each book as well as the order in my review, but I'll put it here for you, too.

Again The Magic - Stand alone/prequel to the Wallflowers. Excellent book and I strongly recommend reading it, even if you don't read it til the end.
Secrets of a Summer Night
It Happened One Autumn
Devil in Winter
Scandal in Spring
A Wallflower Christmas

--I'm really surprised how in line some of our reasons are for loving LK books. Heidi, I love the dangerous heroes. Verity, you know how I am about obsessed heroes. LOL.

Let me know how you like it Kathy Ann. I am glad to hear about the Hathaway series. I should have asked, but I was just planning on reading that series after the Wallflower series. I thought I would stick with the historical romance first before branching out so I wouldn't confuse characters, etc.

Uniquely Moi, I am so glad that you posted the order for us! I hate it too when its hard to find book orders. I am currently reading Secrets of a Summer Night. Was it imperative that I read Again the Magic first?

I'm glad to help! No, I read it last, in fact. It's such a good story and was written as a stand alone, but it's more like a prequel, though not required to be able to follow the Wallflowers. HOWEVER, I would strongly recommend reading it simply because it's an amazing story.

[Lisarenee]

My name is Lisa and first got into Lisa Kleypas books last year thanks to Jayne (AKA Lady Jayne). I even accused her of perhaps being Kleypas' sister because she was so knowledgeable about them and let's face it sometimes you just don't know who you're talking to on the internet. My top four favorite books of Kleypas' are Mine Till Midnight, Worth Any Price, It Happened One Autumn, followed by Suddenly You. Who is my favorite hero???? Not sure because I love them all and there are so many great ones to pick from. It might be Cam, but I'm not sure I can commit to that. Favorite couple??? Perhaps Kev and Win. What do I like about the books???? What don't I would perhaps be more appropriate. They're fun stories with great romances that usually have the right mix of romance, humor, and some bit of mystery or drama that keeps your interest. Plus, you can always count on the books to give you a warm fuzzy feeling by the end. Oh, and did I mention the guys might have a bit to do with why they're so good?*chuckle* Okay, the characters (both male and female) are so likeable and relatable that it helps suck you into the story.

Thanks Jayne for inviting me to this group.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Welcome to the group Lisarenee!!! I agree with everything you said (except the favorite books part because I've only read Wallflowers so far). Lisa Kleypas has given me so many smiles these past couple of weeks.

[Patrid]

Hi, I'm a week into Goodreads and I also have trouble navigating. Ugh!I actually posted a question and sent it too MYSELF! :) Ahh well, I do know the answer now. I never knew so many people enjoyed the same reads, I'm also discovering new books! Question....does anyone know a good read where the H/H are strangers, he is dark, brooding alpha, but unable to resist her. The are thrown together somehow....I remember reading a book YEARS ago that I liked,can't remember title(think she was mail order, spinster-like), but it doesn't matter if it is Comtemporary, historical...Just like the theme.

(I also posted this ? to Romance Readers, I am also part of that group, so you might see this again)

Want to Thank you UniquelyMoi for helping me last week when I first signed on!

[Alycia]

Hi Patrid, glad you joined. I wish I could help you out on your question, but someone is bound to know here :)
