Welcome, Issy!I love your avatar!
Welcome Issy! Pretty name! Harry & Poppy are one of my favorite couples as well.
1. My name is Anna
2. Devil in Winter and Love in the Afternoon
3. I love Sebastian because he tries to be a bad guy but is terrible at it and Evie is also wonderful, they are my favorite couple too.
4. I *love* her Wallflowers and Hathaways books and the Travis books are also good, but I don't enjoy this new stuff with Friday Harbor and so forth.

Welcome to the group, Anna! I love the Wallflower and Hathaway series too. I can re-read them time and again without ever tiring of them. I do like the Friday Harbor series but I can appreciate it may not be to everyone's taste with the magical realism.

Welcome, Anna! Love St. Vincent and Evie.
Welcome, Anna! I just picked up the audiobooks of
and
in a three for two sale today. Just love that series.
Hello everyone. I'm actually new to the whole 'romance novels' scene but I have already read a few of Lisa Kleypas's novels. :)1. I'm Ann :)
2. Favorite book (so far): It Happened One Autumn, Tempt me at Twilight, Love in the Afternoon
3. Favorite Couple (so far): Poppy Hathaway and Harry Rutledge, of course
4. The thing I like most about Lisa Kleypas's books is how unconventional her characters are. In her Hathaway series, 2 of her heroes are gypsies which you won't normally encounter in Historical Romance novels, most of them would be centered on heroes which are Dukes, Viscounts, Earls, etc. She also writes her characters with a lot of depth and personality. The complexity of her characters comes from well thought of backgrounds unlike some of characters in other novels. :)
Welcome to group, Ann!
Welcome to the group Ann, Issy & Anna!
Welcome Ladies! Nice to have you here! :)
Hello! I just joined! My name is Janina. People call me that or Jen. My favorite Lisa Kleypas books are "Devil in Winter" "Someone to Watch Over Me", "Dreaming of You", "Suddenly You" and "Lady Sophia's Lover".
I absolutely love, cherish and adore Evie & St. Vincent from "Devil in Winter".
The thing I love about Lisa's books is that the men go after what they want and her books do not always follow the formula of men acts like a jerk and woman just puts up with it and loves him. Sometimes the men realize what they want and feel first! I find it refreshing.
I run a Bodice Rippers book club at my local library and we just finished Rainshadow Road. We are reading Dream Lake next! :)

Welcome, Janina. I am a huge St. Vincent and Evie fan, hence my handle. I totally agree with you about liking heroes who go after what they want. Very sexy to me!
Welcome to the group, Janina!
1. Cat (Really Catherine, but no one calls me that.)2. Either The Devil in Winter, Tempt Me at Twilight, or Married by Morning. It's so difficult to choose!!!!!
3. Lillian and Westcliff, Evie and St. Vincent, Cat and Leo, Poppy and Harry, and Beatrix and Christopher.
Favorite hero: Sebastian St. Vincent or Leo Hathaway.
Favorite heroine: Beatrix Hathaway, Poppy Hathaway, Lillian Bowman, or Catherine Marks (partially because she has my name. Just kidding, she's an amazing character!)
Not asked, but favorite all-time character: Dodger, the ferret!
4. She's an amazing author with the ability to make me cry, laugh, and jump up and down with happiness. My husband looks at me like I'm crazy when I'm reading her books because I react so much.
Welcome to the group, Cat!
Hi everyone,1. My name is Lauren
2. Favorite LK book: It Happened One Autumn followed closely by Devil in Winter
3. Favorite Lisa Kleypas hero is Marcus, favorite heroine is Evie, favorite couple is a tie between Lillian and Marcus and Evie and St. Vincent
4. What I like - the characters, the dialogue and the kissing scenes (LK writes the best kisses in HR).
Welcome to the group, Lauren and Lilliana! You are obviously ladies of great discernment as you have both chosen Marcus as your favourite hero. He's my favourite as well.
Thanks Gwen and Carol - yes, we have excellent taste, lol!Hey, Lilliana!
Welcome to W♥LK, Cat, Lauren, & Lilliana!!! (Love Dodger!)
