Adwina Oltariani | 1 comments hi. everyone!!
i'm a new fan of Anne Stuart..
so far I've read only two books by her
Ice Storm and The Devil's Waltz
even though I only read two of them, I instantly fell in love with how AS creates her heroes
they're so dark, dangerous, yet so loving when they want to
is there anyone can suggest any of her books?
thanks.. I appreciate it^^

So Danielle, if I've read To Love a Dark Lord, The Devil's Waltz, Ruthless and I'd like to stick to historicals, which book would you pimp recommend? (Don't count Reckless, I'm on that as soon as I get to the bookstore!)

Tammy Walton Grant (tamgrant) thanks willaful!

I completely agree with Willaful's recommendations. But, I'd also add Hidden Honor.

Angels Wings is another favorite. It's set in the 1930s. Loved it!!! Hero is very Robert Mitchum-tough guy-esque.

Don't give up on her contemporaries yet. Do check out her Harlequin books. They are awesome! I've posted reviews for quite a few of them.

2.How did you become an fan of Anne Stuart? I saw the high ratings for her books on amazon and decided to give her a shot

3.What are your favorite books of hers? I've only read two so far(To Love a Dark Lord and Ritual Sins), but both were amazing!

4.Why do you like Anne Stuart? The darkness of her stories

Adam (orangeseattle) | 4 comments Hey Huntress, Rane, everyone.

I don't know if I posted here before, or just lurked, but I'm Anne Stuart's editor on RUTHLESS and the other Rohan books. It's so great to see everyone in fan mode over her. (Especially since from the editing desk you don't always get to see the results of people digging her stuff!) I think she's pretty great, and so I want everyone else to, too.

Just thought I'd note that the House of Rohan books are actually stretching to a fourth book now: SHAMELESS comes out in July 2011. She's still busy writing it, but it sounds *awesome*, so send your good vibes her way. In the meanwhile, if you haven't checked out the prequel "The Wicked House of Rohan."

It's a pain in the butt to find, so here's the link: http://ebooks.eharlequin.com/B484580B...

Okey dokey. Keep on reading--she's just getting warmed up!

Best,

Adam

Thanks so much for the news, Adam! I am super-excited. Please pass on to her that there are quite a few out there who love her books like crazy! As long as she keeps writing, I'll keep reading!


message 68: by Adam (new)

Adam (orangeseattle) | 4 comments Ooops! Apparently eHarlequin links don't like to cooperate. Okay, go to this link on Krissie's site. (Then follow the link there.)

So sorry for the confusion!

(And I'll pass along your kind words to her!)

Shawna (shawnalovesromance) | 4 comments Thanks, Adam! I'm excited to hear about another House of Rohan book coming out! I was really hoping we hadn't seen the last of the series.

And I'm thrilled about her upcoming foray into paranormal with Raziel (Fallen, #1) by Kristina Douglas !


message 71: by Tammy (new)

Tammy Walton Grant (tamgrant) Another Rohan???? YAY!!!!


message 72: by Ruth (new)

Ruth | 12 comments Oooh.. Can't wait....


message 73: by Adam (new)

Adam (orangeseattle) | 4 comments Honestly, I can't wait to read her paranormal stuff, either. It's through another publishing house, so I haven't seen it yet! I think Krissie's style is perfect for a fallen angel, or two.

2.Was going through a "spinster"-driven historical phase, and happened across "the Devil's Waltz". Loved it, so tried Black Ice - and was blown away. Since then, have gotten hold of 53 of her books, and have read about 30-something of them.

3. No, you can't possibly ask for a favourite. Once the list gets above 10, you realise there's no point. Wil admit a slight preference for the more recent suspense/angst/racy titles (Ice/Nightfall/etc.), but I adore her historicals (Dark Lord/Rose/Lord of/Lady Fortune) and would still rather read any of her earlier stuff than almost anything else.

4.There's nothing like a hero you don't know whether to slap or kiss. And I love that their redemption always centres around ther herione (especially when they only just barely redeem themselves)!

Thank you for establishing this group - don't know any other fans and could cry that there are so many of us. Hopefully enough to keep her writing until her fingers sieze up! :)

Hi Taryn. Check on Amazon.com. You should be able to get a copy off there, used.

Not stupid at all, Taryn. I could understand wanting a new copy. :)


message 83: by Peggyo (new)

Peggyo | 1 comments Thanks for starting the group. Ms. Stuart's writing is so good that when I found myself keeping her 'Ice' books even though most romance readers find her too heroes too dark, I was hooked. Looking forward to her fallen angels because yes, Dogma is one of my favorite movies as well. I enjoy action and suspense, so keeping things moving is important -- I tend to get bored with only relationship stuff.

2.How did you become a fan of Anne Stuart? Read her historicals years ago.
3.What are your favorite books of hers? I think it might be "Ruthless". I need to re-read historicals and start reading her contemporaries to be sure.
4.Why do you like Anne Stuart? Her writing is incredible without being too flowery or over-descriptive. Her stories are intense but leave you satisfied.

Jessica B | 1 comments Hi Everyone!

My name is Jessica.

I became a fan of Anne Sturat after I started readign her Ice series. I was checking out Lady Danielle's books one day and came across them. I haven't looked back since.

Right now I would say Ice Storm (Ice, #4) by Anne Stuart and Breathless (The House of Rohan, #3) by Anne Stuart are my favourites even though I haven't finished Breathless yet.

I absolutely love AS's writing style and she absolutely writes some of the best characters I have ever read.


message 90: by Arch (new)

Arch  | 91 comments Welcome Jessica. Isn't Killian wonderful? I just finished Ice Storm a couple of days ago. I will be writing my review for the book over the weekend. Hopefully, it should be up by Sunday.

Hi Jessica! Glad you joined. I'm glad you enjoy Anne Stuart's books!


message 92: by Diane (new)

Diane (havebookswillread) | 13 comments I'm Diane and have always been a fan of Anne Stuart (and now, Kristina Douglas). I have all her books, including the very rare old Candlelights, which I tracked down. The only book of hers that I didn't like was Silver Falls, but I figure anyone who has written more than 50 books is entitled to a slip.

I would really like it if she would switch to the third person POV in her next Fallen book, due out in 2012. The first one, Raziel, was in first person for both Raziel and Allie, and it was distracting and uncomfortable. The second book, Demon, moved to third person for Azazel but retained the first person for Rachel. Still too distracting and uncomfortable. So I'm hoping that she moves everything to third person for the next one and going forward.

I love her edgy heroes. No one does the gamma male better than Stuart/Douglas!

Diane (havebookswillread) | 13 comments Is there going to be a discussion thread for The Fallen series? Maybe I've overlooked one already! Thanks!

There actually is a thread for Raziel. I might do some reorganizing to make it easier to find.

Diane, check the Paranormal Romance folder. There is a general thread for the Fallen series, and threads for both books.

Alisa Hilde | 1 comments 1--My name is Alisa
2--I saw the download for the House of Rohnan prequal and read that--WOW--had to buy all rest of the series as they came out and found a couple of older novels I liked--I've only ready the historical ones as that is what I like
3--I would have to say "Reckless"
4--her charactors are very compelling--they may be flawed, but you want them to find happiness.


message 99: by Diane (new)

Diane (havebookswillread) | 13 comments Hi, Alisa! If you prefer historicals, Anne Stuart has several excellent ones. They're all very well written, but I hope you expand to her contemporaries at some point, because they're all wonderful, too!
