deepest, darkest desires.But now Mark, survivor of an ambush to his Delta Force team, is a prisoner of a terrorist group in the Peruvian jungle, and his
telepathic communication with Faith is his only contact with the world. While she searches for help to save him, they survive on dreams that take them

Anne Silver turns to her ex-CIA agent ex-boyfriend when her brother is very nearly murdered while trying to expose a clever gang of fake psychics. But
working side by side with Julian Aries puts more than her life on the line -- her heart may just be the first thing to go.
Erika Todd moved to New Orleans because she needed a change - and, well, yes, because that's what her fortune teller said she would do. Not that
she'd admit that to many people. But so many of the psychic's predictions - about her work, even finding that stray black cat - have already come true.
Now all the lonely sculptor needs is to meet and fall in love with the prophesied dark-eyed prince.
Reclusive musician Vittorio Ridgewood has a new neighbour he's been trying to avoid. Sure, she's gorgeous, but she's coming on strong, and the last
thing the 200 year-old vampire needs is to get involved with another mortal. Especially since several of his former human paramours have lately been
turning up dead.
When Lara Kirk was abducted months ago, Miles Davenport vowed he'd bring her home. But the mission failed. Miles has become totally obsessed; he
can practically hear Lara pleading for him to save her. Finding her after all this time will be next to impossible...Lara Kirk lives in a shadowy world where
reality and fantasy are one. Her captors have poisoned her body with concoctions that enhance psychic abilities--and they seem to be working. To
escape, Lara has formed a deep attachment with a man whose virile, sensual presence in her mind is her only comfort. She's not even sure if he's real-until the six-foot-five-inch powerhouse bursts in to rescue her...Once freed, Lara has no choice but to trust Miles with her life as they run from enemies
too twisted to imagine. But they're also fighting a dangerous attraction that could kill--or save--them both. Either way, it's going to be a hell of a ride...

I really tried - finally had to skip to the end. Not my style really - writing style that is, couldn't understand some of it-like Shakespear.

Real estate agent Danny Ramos has always had a knack for selling homes, but when his boss saddles him with a neglected carriage
house, Danny discovers that his abilities are more than simple intuition
On his first visit to the house, Danny is confronted with visions of a violent murder. His assistant, Biddy Gunter, doesnt seem
affected, and Danny starts to think hes going crazyuntil he gets a visit from his mother, who suggests that Dannys uncanny talent
to sell old houses may stem from his family inheritance: psychic empathy.
When Biddy reveals to Danny her own strange dream about the carriage house ghosts, they team up to investigate and discover
both the houses dark history and their own unexpected attraction. But as the hauntings turn from unsettling to downright dangerous,
Danny and Biddy need to figure out how to rid the house of its ghostly inhabitants, before their budding romance meets an untimely
end

His Secrets Can Destroy Her

From the moment Josie laid eyes on sexy, mysterious Shane Dean, she was in love. Their desire ignited a passionate affair, and
within weeks, Shane had slipped a ring on her finger. It seemed her every fantasy was coming true . . . until her new husband
disappeared without a trace. Now, two years and one broken heart later, Josie is shocked when the hospital calls: Shane has been
found . . . at a crime scene with no memory of how he got there.
Her Love Can Save Him
Shane cant remember the blue-eyed angel at his bedside-or who he even is-but he knows something isnt right. His hearing is razor
sharp, his physical strength incredible, and the urge to protect Josie overwhelming. For powerful enemies are hunting him, and Josie
is the key to discovering why. As Shane struggles to unravel his past, dangerous new truths come to light. Can he protect the only
woman hes ever loved? And can Josie trust a man she thought she knew-one who carries such a deadly secret?
The perfect murder is a work of art In one catastrophic instant, Haley Warrens estranged father was taken from her. She never got
the chance to reconnect with him, so now shes doing it the only way shes got left: by proving the explosion that killed him was no

When Tyler Brodie, the provocative and handsome P.I. hired by Haley, discovers that her father was investigating a suspected art

As Haley and Ty get closer to the truth, the truth gets ugly: Did Haleys dad know too muchor was he in on the take? And although
Tys a consummate professional, hes having trouble focusing on the facts of the case, and not the figure of his gorgeous client. The

I like baby/pregnancy theme too. I prefer the heroine is not

pregnant with another man's child (I'm weird about that).
I like the widower with children theme too (moreso that widow with
children--gosh I am such a sexist)

D, U took the words right outta my fingers. I adore books w/ baby / preggers
heroines, widow/er w/ kids.

I really like :
- From conflicting ends / feuding families
- Extreme makeover (a nobody is polished & tutored)
- All in the family (in luv w/ sis / bro in law)
I also luv heroes :
- Archers (skilled in bows & arrows is so hawt LOL...)
- Physicians (but only in historicals tho'. I guess 'cuz of my real-life
occupational setting that I don't really like reading contemp docs.)
- Barristers / solicitors / man of affairs
- Book authors
- Painters
- Rags-to-riches
Luv animals ! Anything w/ doggies & cats, I'll buy =P
Not too crazy 'bout entertainment industry (singers / actors).

Less than Perfect Hero/Heroine (disabled, scarred, disfigured)

I love any book where the chracters are ugly, gimpy, insane,
disfigured, whatever.

I really don't get why people want to follow stories about good
looking people! Maybe it's because it's totally unrelatable to me?

Hey Verity I love the feuding families/conflicting ends theme. I wish

there were more books where H/H are business rivals. I really enjoy
when the heroine is an equal to the hero in the workfield. I love h/h
who are skilled warriors (archers, swordsmen, snipers, marksmen),
probably because I am very physically awkward. I like
barristers/solicitors as well.
Speaking of: you'd probably like Terms of Possession. It's probably one of
the most unique HPs I've read and enjoyed.

I'm not crazy about celebrity heroes and heroines either, especially
actors and musicians. I don't really like socialites ala Paris Hilton as
heroines. Blah!

People have a prototypical image of human beings. When they see a
hairless, bipedal creature, eyes in front of head, and so on, they recognize
this as a "person." So there is some dissonance when they hear Suzy
described as X uncommon features. It requires a revision of that
expectation and doesn't spring as immediately and smoothly to mind. That's
the short and sweet of it. LOL.

I agree that having the heroine pregnant with another man's child
can be somewhat dicey, but I've found a few that worked for me.
Usually I prefer it to be the hero's baby too, so you're not weird.;-)

I'm not sure why, but I would also tend to agree that for some
reason, it is more endearing to have a widower with kids than a
widow. Maybe it's because single mothers in general are more
common in our society, so a devoted single dad seems like really
good hero material. I also like stories where the hero or heroine is
raising a younger sibling, niece, nephew, cousin, etc.

Ok, Verity, I'm currently in the process of trying to narrow my shopping list
and reading your list above, complete with books matching each theme,
didn't help at all!

My 2 most favorite themes are:

Tormented hero and Marriage of convenience.
Nothing can top these, and when the book features both, I usually end up
loving it:). That's probably why I love The Dangerous Gentleman, since it
has both!

Other favorite themes:

*Scarred hero
*Handsome rake + spinster/bluestocking/wallflower heroine
*Amnesia
*Bodyguard hero
*Gender benders
*Unrequited love
*Gamma hero
*Forbidden love for in-laws
*Forbidden love due to social differences
*Famous hero/heroine, especially actors/actresses and athletes
*Timetravel
*Elements of magic/psychic powers a la
The Bride Finder, Bewitching

*Plain Janes
*Shotgun weddings/forced weddings/fake betrothals
*Stranded together
I dislike:
children, widowers with small children, pirates and too much action
in historicals only:)

utterly unable to suspend disbelief there. It's so common though (the guntoting, breeches-wearing "independent woman") that I've come to tolerate it.

I don't see a lot of swordfights since I don't read too many

medievals, but I think gunfights are easier to envision than sword
moves at any rate (and less difficult for a clueless author to mess up,

I'm all for historical accuracy, but I can see a good quality adventure
plot in a historical romance that is well done and true to the period.
I've read quite a few historicals that had fantastic adventure plots.
The English love their guns. I can imagine that quite a few lords did
allow or teach their daughter to shoot. And to this day people still
practice fencing. I don't see why there wouldn't be fencing going on
in a Victorian set story.
Especially if the book takes place in an exotic setting.

I suppose there could be adventure plots, but they would be exceptions.
(And I guess, I should clarify here that when I say historicals I'm usually
thinking of novels set in Britain since I don't read that many Westerns,
colornials, etc.)

As I said, I don't mind an Englishman with a gun. Duels, etc. They

had weapons, and they used them, but in general, the upper class
men did not use them as frequently and upperclass women even
less. You could construct a novel about the exceptions to these rules,
but I don't read historicals to read about the exceptions (for the
reasons I rattled on about in my previous post, LOL.) Fencing was
really a sport more than anything. Not that I'm an expert or
anything, but as far as I'm aware the use of guns in the Victorian
period had pretty much made fencing obsolete as self-defense so it
was cultivated only by the elite with time to spare.

I often wonder myself Verity, what am I doing here? You know,

before I discovered Amazon's forums, my TBR contained only 30
books and I felt guilty about it:) Now, 1 and a half year later, my TBR
exceeds 100 books and it keeps going up rather than down!

I also love swordfights, I don't consider them as action though.

When I mean I dislike action in historicals, I mean the running
around town or countryside interviewing people, trying to find the
villain, running after or from evil men in dark alleys, visiting seedy
taverns for tips or sleeping in different inns every night. On the
contrary, I like swordfights and duels; especially if one of the
contestants is a woman:) I know it's highly improbable, but I like it
just the same. No wonder I love Lord Harry by Coulter.

Oh Danielle, Judith Ivory is one of my all time favorite authors and I've only
read 4 of her books. BUT EVERY ONE of her books so far is a 5* read for
me. That's pretty rare for ANY author I've read, which is what keeps her at
the top of my list. Actually, I have all of her books published to date, but I
don't over-indulge by sucking them all up in one fell swoop, because she
hasn't published another book in years, and I have this feeling . . . life may
have interfered with her ability to write another novel, or some other
circumstances may indicate we've seen the last one. I don't want to be "out
of material" too soon. I do this with MOST of my favored authors. (Most
specifically Rachel Gibson and JI!) Sad but true. :(

"Beast" was a story I would have never independently sought from

another author because it's subject matter is so "reader specific" I
don't see myself drawn to it normally, but with Ivory's skills, it was
awesome as usual for me. (I'm pretty certain Verity has read it -- just
like you! My two "photographic memory" readers (everywhere I've
been in cyberspace!) I feel qualified to say that after two rounds of

I know. I like them because they are obviously going to get into the H/H's
business or at least grow with them until they are ready for their own novel.

Me too. Its the entire though process that is really important to me.
The older virgins are awesome since they have a better
understanding of life. I think this is especially bothers me because
the heroes end up being very worldly, so I don't think its fair. And
obviously she loses arguments against the hero, since she has such
limited scope. The immature, virginal feminists get to sprout the
greatest nonsense and really, I end up feeling sorry for them.

Yup. It's fun watching the antics and when they get their book, you
get to see them eat their words. Case in point, Vikirnoff from Dark
Demon by Christine Feehan. He was constantly telling Nicolae how
to handle his lifemate. And when his turn came, he had his hands
full with Natalya.

Oh, cool! Thanks, Nisha! I like fantasy romance too. I'll take a look
when I get a little more time.

I like this too, Nisha. Have you read Galen Foley's Knight Miscellany
series? The Knight family is a large one (7 books), and I've
thoroughly enjoyed all of them except the last which I haven't read
yet. As an added bonus, books 2 and 3 are about twins Lucien and
Damien. Yum!

Reunited lovers is one of my favorite themes, especially if they're
husband/wife. :)

My favorite themes are:

Independent woman.
Tortured hero
Marriage of Convenience
Forced Brides/ Grooms
Gender Bender
Friend of a relative (always good for drama and tension)
Socially awkward/shy hero or heroine
Medieval setting
Mystery
Nerdy/Geek/Genius
One character has liked the other for a long time, but it takes the
other to see the one in more than a friend way.
Heck, i'll usually read anything that sounds good, but those are my
absolute favorite. ^^

I love your list, Melissa. Most of them are fave themes of mine too. I
was thinking about adding an independent heroine shelf earlier
today.

I like the independent heroines who don't proclaim their independentness,
you know?

I agree, Christy. It's annoying when they are trying to act

independent but are just clueless.

I agree as well. The sort of independence that the reader knows, but
the character isn't proclaiming it to the high seas.

Actually, it's usually the author who's proclaiming it to the high seas. *rolls
