If you have to pick just ONE???
I guess I would have to go with
..I loved Aline & John McKenna!
I've only read her Wallflowers so far, but if I were to chose between those, I'll agree with Fani: Devil In Winter!
Then Came You
I have to say that the title always make me chuckle but I have a terrible sense of humour. Great book anyhow.

It is tough to pick only one. I also haven't read all of LK's books yet, so my #1 choice could change later on, but for right now it's Sandal in Spring.
While Devil in Winter is a def top ten I'm going to have to go with one of her more recent novels..Probably
but
and
are a close 2nd.
I love
, Cam is so hot. But I also loved
. This is a tough choice, I love all her books.
I have to go with
because I think Lillian Bowman and Lord Westcliff were made for each other... opposites attract! :)
Actually, I thought they were kind of similar and Sebastian and Evie were much more opposites. ;) But they sure were made for each other!
Because Nick Gentry is the baddest dude around. He doesn't just need Charlotte for sex. His survival as a man depends on having her in his life. Without her he could very well become a stone cold killer or a man damned beyond redemption. He has to have her!
Or as Howlin Wolf put it, "when you see me runnin, you know my life's at stake."
Oh NO! I forgot
,,,I have to change and say thats my fave! Oh shit, how could I forget NICK!!!!!!
Worth Any Price is a very close second for me.:-)
Hi ladies. Gosh..this is a hard one and I'll have to say that I like all your picks!:) It's hard to pick one...but, I would have to choose Devil in Winter.

I'd have to go for
because it is so poignant.
Oh Autumn, I think I peed myself a little after I scrolled down to that! LOL!

Lisa, in my defense: by God,i did tried hahah!!this is a suicidal question that tears hairs apart, because while i like a book best for plot, i liked another one for the Hero or Heroine..non non.. too much to consider ^_^
OMG! Autumn! I'm laughing again, and I've already seen it. I cankdf; barldy typeeie... LOL! I really needed that. I can never explain to you how much. Okay, back to my answer I was going to post. Jack Travis in
. I know I like Autumn's posting of what she though HE looked like. (Wipe away drool). LOL!(view spoiler)

ROFLMAO!! Thats an awesome spoiler!!!!!!!!!
Perhaps I should make this just a little bit easier *wink...wink*....?What if I asked you to choose your favorite RIGHT NOW, because maybe tomorrow it'll be different...
Dreaming of You
This is hard because Lisa is my favorite but Dreaming of You takes the cake. Probably one of my favorite books ever. So amazing.

Um....Devil in Winter. I'm a St. Vinnie girl all the way. But it ain't easy to choose a favorite by this most esteemed author!
I haven't read all her books yet and have enjoyed many I would have to pick
and
. They were both magical for me.
This is Really Hard. Derek Craven is my favorite hero but Im going to have to go with Seduce Me at Sunrise. I think its Merripen's intensity. I love it and it gets the most re reads.
God, this is such a hard question I think Devil in Winter would be top pick, I mean it's Evie and Sebastian!! Followed by Married By Morning cause Leo and Cat and just so adorable together.
Seduce me at Sunrise, without a doubt. Merripen! *swoon*
*THUD*
Definitely Cravin' Craven in DREAMING OF YOU!!!! I am a sucker for tormented male characters.
If I HAD to pick just one... I guess I'd go with Derek craven in dreaming of you
This is so hard! But if I had to pick just one (with much coercion), it would have to be Dreaming of You. Derek was my first Lisa Kleypas hero and my first LK love.

I can totally understand why you girls would say Dreaming of You/Derek Craven.
**gigglesnort** Yes, I bet you do, Lady D.

Well sort of for that reason, but as you know, I'm all about St. Vinnie. Craven is probably # 3 now for me. I think that Dreaming of You has a story that seems to resonate with LK fans.
Just pick ONE?! :0I'd have to go with
hands down. I want my very own Christopher. <3 And Beatrix is my alter ego I'm convinced of it! lol Devil in Winter and Seduce me at Sunrise come in close second. The couples and story are pure delicious magic for me.

I still need to read LitA. I'm holding onto it for when I really need a LK historical romance fix.
LOVE Beatrix! I'm such an animal lover, too.
Me too! I wanted to be a vet when I was growing up. As a kid I had this thing for 'rescuing' injured animals. I never went as far as Beatrix (my parents would throw me out if I kept them lol) but tried to take care of them with the help of my dad. I don't think I look at a squirrel the same way again after this book. :PAnd (view spoiler)
Lady D you NEED to read it. Must must must! It's a book that makes you melt all over. For me at least it did. Pure pure magic.
It's funny, LitA is the very first Kleypas book I gave my mom to read. She fell in love with the story (and Christopher Ha!) and has been reading LK books ever since. She's a big fan of LK now.
**chuckles** Great pic, Lady D.I'm with you, Melody. I wanted to be a vet, too.

Danielle, clearly Sebastien and Devil in Winter would be your pick. What's your second pick? Would it be Married By Morning and Leo? You seem to have a thing for those reformed rakes.
Agh, don't make me pick seconds. It would be a really hard toss up between Where Dreams Begin and Mine Till Midnight and Lady Sophia's Lover. I love Cam!

Actually my second favorite LK hero is Simon Hunt. I love his spirit of going after what he wanted and being a hard worker and proud of his origins. I don't know that's it's a reformed rakes fixation, so much as dangerous/bad/edgy characters (love them). Actually I don't like rakes in general (b/c I don't care for promiscuous heroes).I actually didn't like Leo at first, but he grew on me. I'm thinking he might be in my top 10.
Cam is just wonderful and I definitely love Ross Cannon. I know I'm in the minority, but I don't have that strong an attraction to Where Dreams Begin (probably because of Holly being so in love with her first husband).
My list of LK heroes in order
1. St. Vinnie
2. Simon Hunt
3. Derek Craven
4. Hardy Cates
5. Harry Rutledge
6. Ross Cannon
7. John McKenna
8. Cam Rohan
9. Nick Gentry
10. Leo Hathaway
I sort of guessed on the priority on the last ones since I fixate heavily on the top five. :)

Being a vet is like any other career. Goods and bads. I am glad I chose the profession, but there are challenges that vets have to deal with, so it's not as fun as it sounds, honestly.

So I choose
