Romance Week Part Duece

by Avid Reader on March 18, 2006

Romance Book Week Part II:

What romance book do you secretly love?

Hmmmm. OK. I admit that I love, love, love Reap the Wind by Iris Johansen. Why? I love the story. It’s an adventure story with plenty of hot, hot, hot love scenes, excellent chemistry, has a mystical statue called the Wind Dancer that is most sought after and of course there’s plenty of suspense and mystery. Johansen has revised this story somewhat most recently to capture more suspense fans but beneath all the bullets, gore and mystery/suspense, there’s a lovestory and a damn good one at that. [lightning in the background] Must hurry and get off this computer. BTW: the link to Reap the Wind - that’s the cover you want if your interested in reading this book. It’s not revised.

Name a hero that had you at “hello”.

Hard one to call. It would have to be Alex Karazov from Reap the Wind. He’s vulnerable, attractive and sexy as hell whose lost his best friend and feels that he can trust no one. The author does an excellent job of showing the transition from lust to love between Caitlin and Alex and there is a scene where he tells Caitlin that he trust her - a big step for him. Love this book.

Name your favorite 80’s bodice ripper.

Do you mean where the heroine is such a tease saying no, no,no and the hero says, yes, yes, yes, between a lot of kissing and groping? That type of bodice ripper?

Never read them. ::blink,blink:: Who are you staring at?

What kind of heroine do you wish can be eradicated from the earth?

The one who inherits more money than God but decides to “work for a living” anyway, to prove something, who knows what. She has the most successful business in the entire world and makes even more money than God. And to add insult to injury: she’s single and can’t find a decent man. One who loves her for herself and not her money [cha-ching]. Next would be the 32 year-old virgin who lives in a small town called Clueless with the population of males equaling ZERO.

Can you name a book or scene that you loved even though you know in real life you’d be telling the guy in a real dangerous voice that if he didn’t move his hand pronto his ballcourt was going to take a beating.

OK, many readers have said that the hero in Kiss an Angel by Susan Elizabeth Phillips was a real asshole/jerk and he probably was but I just loved, loved, loved him and his exhanges with the heroine. I really did. In real life - yeah, I’d kicked him in the you-know-where and tell him to go to hell. Also, here is a customer image of Kiss Angel by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. Isn’t it awful? All I have to say is thank goodness I don’t own that copy.
