[Celina]

Hi! I just wish to meet new friends especially people who love LK as much as I do! :)
1. Celina

2. Gosh, there's so many! Dreaming of You, and the whole wallflowers series! :)

3. Hero: Derek Craven. Heroine: Lawless Lily. Couple: Sebastian and Evie.

(Sorry, but what book is Nick Gentry in? I haven't read that one and he's a favorite hero by many. I want to read about him!)

4. What I like most with LK's books is the interactions of so much different characters. It's entertaining to read the witty clashes between the couples and the way they slowly fall in love with each other. The best thing about a book is when you want to live in it and LK does that for me.

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

Hi, Celina! Welcome to the group. We're all LK junkies here!!

Nick Gentry features in and his own book is

Welcome,Celina. :)

Hiii! :)

[Gwen]

Hi everyone! Nice to be a part of a group for an author who is so deserving of the praise!

1. My name is Gwen
2. Since I haven't read all of Lisa's books, right now the last one I read "Suddenly You" is my favorite at the moment.
3. My favorite couple is Jack Devlin & Amanda Briars from Suddenly You, as of the moment.
4. Lisa's romances are utterly romantic. Once I start reading them, I find it's hard to put them down. So good that I almost finish them in one night and I'm not a fast reader. Her heroines are women that are prim & proper for the historical era, but not so much that they don't follow their hearts. Love that! Also, they have minds, speak for themselves and can handle any of her Alpha heroes. I love Alpha heroes, especially hers, because even though their total Alphas, they need that one special woman to love them and add some balance to their lives. And their not afraid to say they love her, stand up for her or show that love. So yummy!

Her writing flows so easily on the page. It reminds me of the way Kathleen E. Woodiwiss's writing was. Magical and lyrical, with just the right blend of the right words to tie it altogether. The ebb and flow never changes, but is always uniform and smooth. Like Ms. Woodiwiss, she places her reader in the time period she's writing about. It's as if I can just step into it through her words and be enveloped by it. Wonderful!

I've started reading her backlist and have just ordered her Hathaway and Wallflower Series. When we lost Ms. Woodiwiss, I thought I'd never find anyone to satisfy my craving for the splendor, beauty and romance of Historical Romance. Well, I found her ... Lisa Kleypas!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Welcome, Gwen! Clearly you're a major Lisa Kleypas fan and we are thrilled you found us!

For me, I think John McKenna, that often forgotten hero from Again the Magic, is one of my very favorite LK heroes, if not the favorite!

We have threads for each hero, each series, each book... feel free to jump in and share your thoughts. If you can think of it, there's probably already a thread for it!

[Autumn]

Welcome to the group, Gwen and Celina!! ;)

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

Welcome to the group, Gwen! I'm sure you'll love the Wallflowers and Hathaway series. I envy you reading them for the very first time!!

I agree with Dhes about John McKenna. He's my absolute favourite LK hero to date and Again The Magic is my favourite book to date. If you're reading the Wallflowers series, you should read Again The Magic first because it is regarded as the prequel to the series.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Carol, I don't think I knew you were a McKenna fan!! And I agree, read Again the Magic, first. So, so good.

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

Dhes, I absolutely adore John McKenna and have to re-read Again The Magic frequently to get my fix of him! Every time, I cry buckets over that book because the story is so heartrending!!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

OMG...OMG, I sob too!! I can't remmber if I wrote in my review which part it is, but wow...(view spoiler)[ Remember when he goes to her and proposes, and she sends him away... I was sobbing! SOBBING!!!!! and then in the hotel when she tells him the truth and he lets her have it with both barrels, he doesn't hold back... I LOVED that part!!! (hide spoiler)] And a lot of people didn't like the secondary romance but I LOVED IT! It was perfect and believable... I felt like I was getting 2 wonderful HEAs for the price of 1.

***Sigh*** Such a wonderful, beautiful, amazing story!

This book has so many wonderful moments that it's hard to pick out a special one. I think mine has to be (view spoiler)[ when he kisses her scars and says he loves all of her and, of course, the part where he says - " I want morning and noon and nightfall with you. I want your tears, the taste of
your skin....". I think those are some of the most romantic words I've ever read. (hide spoiler)]

I love the secondary romance as well. It was the icing on an already delicious cake!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Oh... oh... yes! I loved that scene, too! So, so romantic. I'm getting all misty eyed just thinking about it.

I should make 2012 the Year of Re-reads.

I know what you mean, Dhes! I look at my bookshelves and there are so many wonderful books just waiting to be re-read but then I look at my TBR shelves on GR! Decisions, decisions... Do I re-read some all time favourites or reduce my TBR pile?

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

And see, I OWN hundreds of paperbacks that need to be read... not to mention the hundreds of ebooks waiting to be read, too.

*sigh*

Welcome, Gwen!

[Gwen]

Thank you all for the nice welcome! So happy to be here. I'm so in love with Lisa's heroes. Now you guys go and give me another one. Wow! I'm thrilled and can't wait to read "Again the Magic."

I'm one of those people who can read a few chapters and nothing is spoiled for me. I go to Barnes & Noble and if they have a "see inside" of the book, I'll read it. I'm terrible! Once I hear of a luscious hero, I'm there! :)

[Gwen]

OMG! UniquelyMoi*_*Dhestiny*_* & Carol, I thought I was the only one who had to re-read when needing a fix of a special hero and sobbing my eyes out. I feel right at home knowing that! :)

[Lisa Kay]

Welcome, Gwen! Gwen, I have a "re-read for comfort" bookshelf. I usually go to it after a particularly distasteful book.

[Susan]

Hi! I'm Susan and found this great group last month. I love Lisa's books-It Happened One Autumn and Love in the Afternoon are 2 of my favorites. Westcliff and Lillian are my favorite characters. I love how Lisa creates her stories and characters.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Hi, Susan! Thanks for the official introduction :) Ahhhh, Westcliff.... love that man.

But then again, I love ALL her men.

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

Hi Susan and welcome to the group! I love Westcliff as well!

Dhes, we certainly seem to have the same taste in men. LK men that is! LOL

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Carol, if you could choose to be any LK heroine, who would you be?

If you could be ANY heroine, who would you be?

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I just started a thread here - Who Would You Be?

[Lisa Kay]

Welcome, Susan!

[Susan]

Thanks everyone....

[Autumn]

Hello, Susan. Welcome to the group! :) xxxx

[Gwen]

Thank you ladies for your warm Welcomes!

[Heather]

1. Heather Snow
2. "Dreaming of You", "Worth Any Price" and "Devil in Winter".
3. Favorite hero? St. Vincent Favorite heroine? Sara Fielding Favorite couple? Can't choose between the two so I'll say both St. Vincent/Evie and Derek/Sara
4. Her characters are so real and uniquely themselves, her prose is beautiful, her love scenes are hot but not there just for the sake of a love scene...each advances the love story or the character growth, so I don't want to skip over them like I do other authors. She's just incredibly talented. When I came back to reading historical romance in college, LK is who I discovered first and she sucked me back into the genre (although I did go back and re-read my Julie Garwood and Johanna Lindsey favorites, too!). But Lisa blew me away! When I started writing historical romance, she is the author I most wanted to emulate and I hope that someday, I'll come anywhere close. :)

I look forward to this group!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Thank you, Carol!

[Autumn]

Welcome to the group, Heather. ;)

[Gwen]

Thank you for the Welcome Lisa! I love the title for your re-reads shelf. "Re-reads for comfort". They really are like comfort food aren't they? Lovely! :)

[Gwen]

Welcome Heather! I love what you said about LK's love scenes. The way she writes they flow so seamlessly into the story. It's never as if their contrived or inserted just to add one.

[Ila]

Hello, I've been a part of the group for a while, but realized that i hadn't introduced myself yet. sorry about that!

here goes -
Name - Ila

What are your favorite Lisa Kleypas books?

Devil in Winter, Married by the Morning and Dreaming of You have to be favorites, but i pretty much love them all.

Who's your favorite Lisa Kleypas hero and heroine? Couple?

My favorite couple has to be either Evie and Sebastian or Catherine and Leo

What do you like about Lisa Kleypas books?

I can't really pin point exactly what it about these books that i love, they just make me feel really ridiculously happy and I have to say they have spoilt me for a lot of other authors cause the benchmark is very high now.

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

Welcome to the group, Ila!

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

Welcome, Ila!

I can definitely identify with the LK, happy making factor.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Hi Ila, and thanks for the introduction! We're glad you're with us in Kleypasland!

[Ila]

Thanks for the welcome guys! I'm glad to be in Kleypasland too :-)

[Jonetta]

Hi, my name is Jonetta. It's hard to pick a favorite Kleypas book because I've enjoyed so many, including the Wallflowers, the Hathaways, Gamblers, and the Bow Street Runners. I also LOVED the Travis series.

My favorite hero is Nick Gentry from the Bow Street Runners.

Kleypas is an exceptional writer who knows how to first tell the story and build a romance. Her characters come alive on the page and are never one dimensional. I can't wait for Rainshadow Road to be released!
