Heather, did I say 30?? Maybe I should be saying 45? You're rocketing through.
LOL, Now I'm running into repeat places. So 30 might stick be the better option.

I REALLY like that idea, Lisa Kay! How can I make this happen? *Off to ponder*
Juliana wrote: "Thanks, Caro! I absolutely LOVE the idea of this - so hysterical!! And could only truly be appreciated by romance readers ;-)"Exactly! I must admit I do check out what appears on other's lists :-)
It is kind of neat, b/c I remember some of the scenes. Like the shower in
- though I read that last year, LOL! And the car in
. Not that I remember a lot about the story of the last one, but I do remember that love scene, LOL! What does that say about me?
All it says is that we love a great "emotional connection." lol
LOL!, Is that what it is? I was thinking maybe the author just wrote those scenes REALLY well ;-)

O.M.G.! Heather, I think you are right. A third of my count is from the romantic-suspense genre. That and westerns (they do like to do it outside with nature).
Well, that right there has convinced me I need to get back to my Rom/sus reads!!!
Hi there Lisa Kay et al! What a great challenge! As soon as I read the Location, Location, Location header, I thought of the movie where Diane Lane and Richard Gere were married but she had a hot and heavy affair. She and her lover had a scene in the bathroom of the restaurant where she was having lunch with some girlfriends. Oo la la I will never look at a bathroom stall the same! SOOO I am in,
