This is a great group and I'm sure you'll love it! :)
Carol, Lisa -- to everyone here! You all don't know how excited I am to be here :)
Hi! I'm Cerian, and I can't believe it's taken me so long to find this group!Some of my favourites are Devil In Winter, Dreaming of You and Because You're Mine. Although Devil In Winter is my absolute favourite!
So obviously, my favourite couple is Sebastien and Evie. He's utterly divine, and she has a wonderful quiet strength to her that makes them perfect together :)
I've been reading Lisa Kleypas books for years, and I can re-read most of them, over and over. I think I love them so much primarily because of the heroes. Especially the ones who are more ruthless, and need that special woman to love. Actually, all 3 of the books I've said are my favourites have very ruthless heroes lol
Anywhos, happy to be here!

Welcome, Marie! We are so glad you joined us!
Welcome to the group, Marie! Fangirl all you like because you're amongst like-minded friends! :)
Welcome to W♥LK group, Marie! Yes, Kleypas writes the best heroes.
*~*Good Evening Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*~*1.Name
Hayley
2. What are your favorite Lisa Kleypas books?
Oh, can't I pick them all!?!?! I've truly enjoyed all of them so far :). My latest obsession being Married By Morning & Sugar Daddy!
3. Who's your favorite Lisa Kleypas hero and heroine? Couple?
I'm going to go with Leo and Cat from Married By Morning... I just loved their story :) ((But then again I love all the couples in The Hathaways Series))
4. What do you like about Lisa Kleypas books?
What's not to love? She writes amazing historical romance & contemporary in my opinion. Her writing is easy to read and keeps me entertained for hours =)
Hayley! You made it here! Welcome! **waves**
Hehe, thanks Lisa... I DID! I've fallen head over heels in love with her books :0). Just finished Sugar Daddy and I want to rush to the library to get the next one lol.
Oh, I hope you love
half as much as I do, Hayley. I've read it, like, over 12 times! I'm stalking Jack Travis. LMBO!
Haha! Well next in line is Blue-Eyed Devil, so hopefully that one is good :). BUT, I'm sure I will love Smooth Talking Stranger too when I get there! We seem to have a lot of similar tastes, so I am sure you won't steer me wrong hehe :)
Welcome to the group, Hayley! I love both
and
Hardy Gates and Jack Travis are both swoon-worthy in different ways.
Welcome, new members. :)
Hi, Hayley! What a pleasure having you here at LLK. Hope we can play in the group`s games as well ;)
Hello there, Lisa! It`s been a while since I was last here. But believe me, it wasn`t for lack of wanting.My health hasn`t been the greatest,same emotionally. Its great to see some familiar faces- and new ones, too!(((((((more hugs))))))
Missed you, Autumn. Great to have you back and so sorry to hear about your health. Really hope things are looking up for you now and being back amongst friends will help I'm sure. *big hug*
Autumn, I've been wondering how you have been...it had seemed like you hadn't posted for awhile. Good to see you.
I'm glad you're back, Autumn! The darn Real Life! Always intruding. Glad you're feeling well enough pop in here. (((Cyber Hugs)))

Oh Autumn, I hope you're doing better. We love you!
Aww, Thank you girls for all that love! Words can`t describe how much I missed the camaraderie of this place.
It`s been a very challenging past year. It all started with a banged-up knee, then anemia.Not too long after that, we got hit with Sandy. And now It seems my blood pressure is always dropping, so I`m had extensive cardiovascular tests to find the culprit of my never ending maladies. *sigh*
Anyway, we can always hide in a good story or have a ball with your GR friends when RL gets too much to handle; no social skills required. Whats not love about it ;)? lol
(((((((huggs))))))))))))
Hope we can see more of each other here.
Haha! I couldn`t pass that pun! ;)
((((((((((huggs all around)))))))))))

Hugs back at you, Autumn. I am praying for you!
Hi!I am SO ECSTATIC to have found this group. Gotta preface this by saying that I discovered Lisa Kleypas via her contemporary novels . I also recently saw that she got her start with historical romances, but I LOVE her Travis series. I was looking for kindred spirits because Gage & Liberty from "Sugar Daddy " are my absolute favorite couple. I don't understand why they haven't gotten more press.
So my questionnaire answers:
Name: Trudy
Favorite LK Books: Sugar Daddy!! , Blue-Eyed Devil!!
Favorite LK Couple/ Characters: Liberty Jones, Gage Travis, Hardy Cates, Haven Travis,
What do I like about LK books: The wit in the dialogue between her characters; the inherent sweetness of her story lines, the tight writing (nothing seems redundant or overwrought) and oh yeah...the sex is hot, but not gross!!!
I would love to hear from other folks who love Liberty & Gage. I had read the book twice, then ordered the Audible copy. I had really liked Gage & Liberty before, but once I heard Jeannie Stith narrate the Audible version, I was in love.
Sugar Daddy is one of my all-time faves. I read a lot and still they outshine everybody else.

It was a hard read in the beginning, but the Haven's healing phase with Hardy was so beautiful. Would love to know what you thought.

Hi Silvia, I just joined the group. I have read all of LK's contemporary novels, but I LOVE Gage & Liberty. I don't understand why they don't get more press. To me, they are beautiful together. So, just wanted to let you know, that I agree with you 100%.

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Welcome, Burbanista! I love Sugar Daddy and have lost count of the number of times I've read it. LOL! I do know I've done two "buddy reads" and also listened to the audiobook twice. So well done, the way the narrator does Carrington when she is a
toddler
with a Southern accent. LOL!

So well done..."Hello Lisa Kay! As much as I loved Sugar Daddy the Book, I am crazy about Sugar Daddy the Audiobook! I'm in 100% agreement with you that the narrator nailed Carrington's voice, but she also made Liberty as sweet and kind as I envisioned. And Gage....oh boy. Made me have to fan myself. One of my favorite lines about him: Evolved, but still a Texan. Did you listen to the audiobooks for Blue-Eyed Devil and Smooth Talking Stranger also? I didn't like those narrators as much.
LOL! Yes, great line. I did listen to all of them on audio and enjoyed them. I remember not liking the narrator for B-ED, at first. But then, she turned the tide when she spoke as Haven with a broken jaw.
I'm super stalker-istic over STS. One of my very favorite books of all time. So, I would have to say I enjoyed it, too, on audio.
Yes, I felt the same about Renee Rauthman who narrated Blue Eyed Devil at the beginning of the book. After the upbeat, high-energy voice Jeannie Stith used for Sugar Daddy, Renee's slow, sultry drawl was a shocker. But yes, she did a fab broken-jawed Haven, and she certainly grew on me as the book went on. I wasn't fond of her version of Liberty though. Her Liberty spoke very slowly and sounded waaaay too mature. I did like STS, but I'm sorry to say, I was bothered by aspects of the story, like a mother giving her child away. I couldn't get over it. Or Ella's comically, self-centered mother. Jack Travis was awesome though.

Burbanista wrote: " was bothered by aspects of the story, like a mother giving her child away. I couldn't get over it."Yes, but I loved Jack stepping up to the plate and helping Ella out. And not just because he wanted to get in her pants.
Definitely something to be said about chivalry. Who do you think he looks like? I've read all the descriptions (dark hair, dark eyes, tall). Can't come up with a celebrity likeness. Maybe the gorgeous guy who is in the Ralph Lauren Polo ads. I have a hard enough time trying to figure out Gage's likeness.
Well, Burbanista, Auntee posted this on pic on
her GRs review
(she's always finding the perfect pics for the heroes). Works for me. This guy's a little young, and Jack has hair on his chest, but I think he would work for as a younger version. Or even as his younger brother Joe. Joe? Where are you, Joe?

Certainly works for me, Lisa Kay! Maybe a little too young to be Jack but he'd certainly make a yummy toy boy! *sighs*
LOL! We'll have to send Auntee a group thank you card.
Well Helloooo! Wasn't expecting that vision when I opened up my message, Lisa Kay! Whoohoo. Still fanning myself. I think I have to misappropriate this image and rename him "Gage". (Although yes, a little too young. Not that there's anything wrong with that.) Include me on Auntee's thank you card. We could all use an aunt like her.
