Enemy Lover by Karin Harlow
Could it work for dangerous job holder?

Duration: January 1-December 31, 2011
Update: 2/01/11
Tier I: Rank Your Bad Boys/Dangerous Heroes

Dangerous Hero Scale
10:Completely lethal, seemingly remorseless, has no problem killing to get the job done, or killing as the job. Killing someone doesn't phase him. It's either him or them and don't let someone be after someone he loves. More or less amoral-except when it comes to things that have true value to him (like his heroine or his family). The mission is all that matters to him (at least until he falls for his heroine).
9:Not the guy to mess with. He has few boundaries he won't cross.
8:He can be ruthless. Not above doing almost anything for self-promotion. Has and will betray those close to him if needed. He has a code, but it's his own code--not necessarily in line with established laws, rules, or mores.
7:Most people would probably consider him insane or crazy, or just kinda whacked in the head. A scary guy.
6:Ruthless to get the job done, or to get what he wants/needs/or to protect others.
5:A hero who still has the aura of a bad boy, but is more laid back and open and not necessarily quite as ruthless. Any hero who has stalkerific tendencies is automatically a 5. He's not the type that is completely unpredictable.
4:He has shown that those who mistake him for a ordinary, nice guy are wrong. He'll surprise you!
3:He will do 'bad' things for reasons he feels is necessary, and not feel too much regret about it. He has no problem claiming, kidnapping, or taking his heroine when the situation calls for it.
2:Slightly more volatile than a 1. Most of the time he is very well behaved, you just don't want to get him riled up!
1:mild-mannered most of the time, but when his fuse gets lit, watch out. He becomes the most dangerous man in the room.

 Shellbelle  | 161 comments Okay I'm new to the group and new to the whole challenge thing, but i'm loving it!! This one seems like it will be a lot of fun. Before I get started i have a couple of questions. First (and most important) Is it okay for newbies to join? Second, just to make sure that I understand, a book that fits for tier one can also be used in tier 2 or 3? So if I used Bones for 10 of tier 1 and Bones for 1 (assasin) for tier 2 that's okay? (did all those numbers make anyone eles brain hurt? LOL) And Last are re-reads okay as long as they are read in the 2011 year? Thanks for any input! I'm really excited about this group!

Oh Dina, I loved Bo from Beast Behaving Badly (Pride, #5) by Shelly Laurenston too!!! It's true most people would think him insane, but I loved the way he struggled with the heroine about agendas and schedules, and his obsessive behavior when it came to HIS puck! That was a very funny read, indeed.

Danielle's Dangerous Hero Addict Suppport Group 2011 Mega-Challenge
Duration: January 1-December 31, 2011
Update: 2/07/11
Tier I: Rank Your Bad Boys/Dangerous Heroes

Dangerous Hero Scale
10:Completely lethal, seemingly remorseless, has no problem killing to get the job done, or killing as the job. Killing someone doesn't phase him. It's either him or them and don't let someone be after someone he loves. More or less amoral-except when it comes to things that have true value to him (like his heroine or his family). The mission is all that matters to him (at least until he falls for his heroine).
9:Not the guy to mess with. He has few boundaries he won't cross.
8:He can be ruthless. Not above doing almost anything for self-promotion. Has and will betray those close to him if needed. He has a code, but it's his own code--not necessarily in line with established laws, rules, or mores.
7:Most people would probably consider him insane or crazy, or just kinda whacked in the head. A scary guy.
6:Ruthless to get the job done, or to get what he wants/needs/or to protect others.
5:A hero who still has the aura of a bad boy, but is more laid back and open and not necessarily quite as ruthless. Any hero who has stalkerific tendencies is automatically a 5. He's not the type that is completely unpredictable.
4:He has shown that those who mistake him for a ordinary, nice guy are wrong. He'll surprise you!
3:He will do 'bad' things for reasons he feels is necessary, and not feel too much regret about it. He has no problem claiming, kidnapping, or taking his heroine when the situation calls for it.
2:Slightly more volatile than a 1. Most of the time he is very well behaved, you just don't want to get him riled up!
1:mild-mannered most of the time, but when his fuse gets lit, watch out. He becomes the most dangerous man in the room.

Rank the heroes from ten books with dangerous heroes that you read in 2011 from 1-10 according to their dangerous hero quotient.

Amanda (kittiescardigansbooks) | 207 comments Oh, historicals. How you make challenges more difficult, but I love you so!

I also just plain keep forgetting the location of the books and then I return them to the library! Arg! Oh well, there's still PLENTY of time.

Just a reminder, your 50 books should be from different states if you use the United States, but they can be in the same country. For example: Edinburgh, Scotland and Inverness, Scotland is okay, but Albany, New York and New York City, New York is not okay. It's kind of unfair to the other countries if we allow us to use various cities in the same state, but we can only use different cities in one country. Since the US is so big, that's why you can use different states in lieu of cities. Does that make sense? Sorry to burst anyone's bubble if they did this unintentionally.

It seems like it might be hard, but it's actually going pretty fast for me and a lot of the participants.

Does anybody have a Stalkeriffic hero recommendation?


message 246: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (kittiescardigansbooks) | 207 comments I'm going to use Dreams of a Dark Warrior (Immortals After Dark, #11) by Kresley Cole as my stalkerific hero when I read it...


message 247: by ~Megan~ (new)

~Megan~ (megadee) | 1084 comments Mod
I haven't even started that series yet! Maybe I need to get on it.


message 248: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (kittiescardigansbooks) | 207 comments What? I cannot believe that you haven't read the Immortals After Dark series, Megan. Bad girl!

It is amazing - probably my favorite series, tied with the Ghost Walkers I think. I usually don't stick with series this long - they get old for me around the 5th or 6th book, but my love for the IAD just keeps getting stronger!


Valerie ~ Val Hall ~ | 152 comments Must be because of Nix...just kidding.


message 250: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (kittiescardigansbooks) | 207 comments I do like Nix - I hope she gets her own book, but I wonder how that will go...
