Enjoy Carol! :)

Actually, I think it's the opposite. Ladies of that time were expected to get married without love being part of the equation...in the case of Holly, though, she fell in love with a man who loved her and was happy with him until he died. In this book though, the heroine is forced to marry a guy and then demands he love her. She constantly says how he's unworthy and she could never love him, deprecates sex and thinks badly of the hero because he likes it (I mean c'mon!) so I wondered why does she want him to love her?
The falling in love fell forced - it seemed it was love me or else and that's why I didn't believe it.


I'm so glad to hear that, it's on my list to read next month.

Ye-es but there was that whole Byronic idealism about love. "She walks in Beauty" etc



I just finished Lover Mine last night too, Becky. What did you think of it?







I agree. It seemed to me just a book to tie up loose ends left by the previous one. I won't complain though, Eric Northman is yummy! ;)

Just can't let Sir Ross out of your clutches, can you?;)




I think Marcus from It Happened One Autumn will be too arrogant/argumentative for you (although he's quite the lover) and maybe Simon (from Secrets of a Summer Night) will be a little too alpha (and maybe wrong for you physically). But I loved 'em all!

And you're right about me not liking the arrogant or Alpha. Shivrs! lol

So if you think it's gonna be Sebastian and you do know me verrrry well, you are probably right. Of course this means I have to go through all the seasons to get to him, right? Oh, well... lmao!



Dhes - I am enjoying it so far but it definitely doesn't compare to her 'Knight Miscellany' series which I loved.


I'm pretty sure I have Lady Sophia's Lover. I might have to bump that up on my TBR list. I try to spread out my LK books. I'm running out.



I read her school teacher series. They were good, but just good. I found myself a little bored and finished the series because I had them.

I generally love Mary Wine's Highlanders. This one, being the first book in the series, seemed a bit slow in places.

I think I read two of that series...I refused to read the one about Miss Martin because I thought she was byotch.



Now I'm reading


I think I read two of that series...I ref..."
Hers was actually pretty good. I really liked her hero and the story line. The better book of the series I think.

I didn't find it that great. The best part was the end when Connor and Quinn kissed her. My poor little brain danced off to menage and hot Highlanders! LOL! So I think that was the best of the book for me.
