Not to badmouth the dead or anything like that, but Woodiwiss books are like printed sleeping pills for me. (Please don't haunt me)

Oh, Shadowheart was definitely fun! The hero is contrast personified. He's a career assassin terrified of hell. (In the first book, FOR MY LADY'S HEART, he's a promising assassin who's terrified of the plague.)

I should say something really nice about Elena, the heroine, but all that leapt to mind is the death of the entire Savernak poultry. (She was trying to make a love spell)

LOL! I don't know what it is, Terri said the book was good and that I'd like it. Maybe I just can't get into anything, or it's her writing style...

Okay, Shadowheart it is! That description makes me want to read it more.

they were all good but i liked eternal kiss of darkness the best, sins of the heart was straight up urban fantasy and waterbound was different the heroine is autistic but you see characters from the drake sisters books and she sets up the premise for the other sisters in the series

PPP didn't you read Jennifer Ashley "The Madness of Lord Ian MacKenzie"? He is mildly autistic...and she did phenominal job of describing someone on the highly intelligent spectrum of autism. Actually one of my favorite romances because she shed a lot of light without ever saying what the problem was.....

Picked up Elizabeth Hoyt's latest...Wicked Intentions. I've been engrossed in it for two days. Great read - dark, sensual, murder ...has anyone else read it and want to discuss it?

Finished Wicked Intentions and if I could I would give Elizabeth Hoyt a big kiss for writing a book just for me. It features my absolute favorite thing...BONDAGE. And she does it so right...first the sensual side and than the criminal side (ie. murder)...such a great contrast. A hero who can't stand to be touched but likes to touch...so he ties his lovers up, blindfolds and has his way. And a murderer who ties the victims up blind folds and slit them open from throat to groin. The sweet and the dark. Pleasure and pain. If I'm ever in a chat room with Ms. Hoyt I have a couple of questions for her starting with why didn't the hero like to be touched...that's never covered in the book. Kind of have glimpse but not really disposed.

This hero was dark...cold. The heroine repressed and guilty do-gooder, martyr. Very interesting story. Highly recommend it to all. (especially anyone who likes good bondage scenes as much as I do).

Oh, I do so adore Ms. Hoyt!

I am very interested in reading this. I thought the premise sounded original and intriguing. I was wondering why the hero didn't like to be touched. I thought it was a physical issue, but by your post, I'm assuming it was some sort of mental/emotional issue. It's a shame she didn't explain why, as I would love to know. Did the heroine help him overcome the problem? Or was he still unable to be touched at the end of the book?

As to what I'm reading, it is an unedited/unrevised copy of Brenda Joyce's upcoming release, The Promise. Let me just get this out of the way. Elysse is a total Mary Sue and the way she acted during the beginning of the book made me want to slap the silly chit, well, silly! I also wanted the hero to smack some sense into her. She acted like a complete twit and ended up causing a tragedy that she and Alexi will have to live with for the rest of their lives, though I lay the blame solely at her feet. Angry

Six years have passed since then and she seems to have grown up a bit. I'm hoping this is the case, because she really needs to be redeemed a bit in my eyes. I'm sure Alexi will be the one making me want to slap him soon, *sighs*. Leave it to Brenda to evoke such a response. I just find it harder to tolerate the type of heroine Elysse is. It is very well written though.

Persophene...through out the book Ms. Hoyt drops clues on why the hero doesn't like to be touched...it could be the repressive dad, an absent mother, a bad nanny who may have abused him as a boy or any number of things. Or maybe a combination. It was a very intrigueing. The whole book...well she out did herself. Highly recommend reading it.

As to Brenda Joyce's new novel...how young is our TSTL heroine. I watch my nieces (15, 16, 17, 18, 19) do some of the stupidist things...and I think Brenda if our heroine starts out as a teenager maybe writing from experience. We look for perfection and often, especially in teenage girls it's not there. Than can be petty, mean, jealous, envious, hormonal, niave, stupid...however evantually they all grow into wonderful women. I think it maybe part of maturing for the majority of the female population. Of course I'm not included in the majority...I was of course perfect in every way as a teenager!

Regardless as soon as I Brenda's latest book at the bookstore...it will be in my greedy, eager hands.

Elysse was twenty when she brought about the tragedy I was talking about. She was obviously spoiled as a child and definitely knew the power her beauty had over the opposite sex. She was the exact definition of a Mary Sue during the early part of the book.

I posted that rant right after I had read it, and my annoyance with her and the event was still fresh in my mind. Luckily, after six years, she really grew up and became a more likable character. I even felt bad for her being abandoned for so long, and having to pretend everything was alright (though I do blame her mostly for what caused the rift in their relationship). She did stumble back into TSTL territory near the end of the book, which had me once again rolling my eyes, but it all turned out okay. Alexi did end up irritating me quite a bit after his return. I could empathize with his situation, but he let it blind him to the fact that Elysse was no longer the silly young woman he knew before. Having said all that, it was a great read, and I'm certain that you will really enjoy it.

Exactly! He was too angry, even when Elysse was extending everything out to effect a reconciliation

I wish The Promise would hurry up and hit the bookstores. I now really want to read this book. Sounds like a great read (even if I get really really mad at the hero and heroine in parts of the book).

Did anyone ever read Peggy Hancher? She did a book many, many years ago in which the heroine was responsible for the death of her fathers mulatto slave mistress. Very sad and tragic yet she grew beyond it and became a good woman. Remember the book...even though I don't remember the title. I think it came out in the late 80's, early 90's. (if you haven't ready any of Peggy's books...haunt old bookstores for them...some are very memorable reads and very, very politicall incorrect ie. younger generation stay away you'll hate them.)

I recently finished A ROGUE IN TEXAS by Lorraine Heath. I like it so much I wish she would return to writing Westerns

I also reread PROMISE ME FOREVER, still by Lorraine Heath, twice in the past week. I can't help it! It was so wonderfully sweet yet poignant.

PPP...I figure you are a youngster...so I won't slap for not have heard of or read Peggy Hancher...and yes the younger generation is way too wussy for her books. Although Laurel would probably enjoy them....a lot. (after all she loves Stormfire and Peggy's books just skims the surface of what Christina did in Stormfire).

Adair your post about author Peggy Hancher was intriguing. . So I went to www.paperbackswap.com.......The site asked if I meant Peggy Hanchar...... said yes and they came up with a list of her books...15 titles. I would like to try reading one of her books, any title you can recommend?

Helen, I still have my copy of the Scottish Bride and Lady of the Mist. I LOVE both of them and re-read them on a regular basis. I would recommend you start with one of them. Wild Sage and Swan Necklace were also good reads. However I love my medievals...so you can't go wrong with the Scottish Bride and Lady of the Mist (my opinion). oh and her books are fast reads even though they get very brutal ever so often.

Just finished Mary Wine's To Conqueror a Highlander. Okay it's a bit on the erotic side...not true erotica, just get's in rather deep at times. It was a well written romance with the normal...strong alpha warrior and a fiesty heroine. And it was very funny in spots, very touching in spots and very steamy. Throw it in the pot, stir it up and it made a very satisfying read. I'd never heard of this author before...however she's published a lot of novels. And I'm definitely going to read all of her medivals. Only regret...she doesn't believe in force seduction (must be one of those squimish youngsters or she's been browed beaten by her publisher. Any way Princess, you might want to giver her a try.....
