After I sat down I thought about a few others I liked.<br />I love bad boy Alpha cops/firefighters/military men. I love how they can be such hard asses and then melt for the right woman. <br />And the man with the tortured past, YUM! <br />Also I agree with the friends to lovers theme. One of my favorites was Seducing Simon which was a friends to lovers and a secret baby plot by Maya Banks. It's more of a contemporary and not erotica like most of her other books.<br />Thanks Christy this has been so much fun! I am glad I "met" you on facebook and you pointed me in the direction of this blog! And a BIG congrats on your new series! I'm waiting, maybe not so patiently, for it!<br />~ErinErinThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03714088184416508574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779923555333795934.post-28583340043060580532009-12-14T20:23:39.500-06:002009-12-14T20:23:39.500-06:00BTW Kara

We'll definitely have more discussions about favorite books. In fact, I've had so much fun this week, I think I'll do a Monday morning quarterback kind of blog. At the beginning of the week, I'll post and we can talk about your favorite books from the week before. That way we can share even more recommendations! How does that sound?<br /><br />Great discussions of today's topic too. And thanks so much for the kind comments on the Last Chance Rescue series. You know, as a new author, I really didn't know what to expect when people started reading the books that at one time were only in my head. But readers have been so kind and you guys especially have made my first year as a published author absolutely wonderful. I thank you for that.<br /><br />Feel free to keep posting your favorite hooks and themes. I'll check in from time to time. And tomorrow, I'll announce the winners!Christy Reecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07507347504173676779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779923555333795934.post-32727018072943435182009-12-14T19:16:05.107-06:002009-12-14T19:16:05.107-06:00Ooooo!

Think I'll pull it out and get on that!<br /> And I KNEW I'd leave something out in my first post! Yes, I like the 'woman in jeopardy' theme, but I definitely want her strong enough to help in her own rescue. And hero with a tortured past? One great example of that is Nash in Flashpoint by Suzanne Brockmann. I think someone already said that...<br /> Now, I'm done. For now.<br /> Hope everyone has a great night!Kara Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12056143467787741990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779923555333795934.post-20686171155767874682009-12-14T18:42:48.817-06:002009-12-14T18:42:48.817-06:00It isn't just the new books & authors you ...It isn't just the new books & authors you might hear about.

I thought I wss the only one who had keeper books & fave authors that you buy without question & felt like the books were your friends for awhile like Ida said yesterday.<br />Thank you all for sharing your ideas & yourselves.

I especially love it when it's a series and we get to see the characters in the next book - like Suzanne Brockmann's Troubleshooter series.<br /><br />When I read the back cover of To the Edge by Cindy Gerard, <br />I knew I had to buy it. I've been hooked on her books ever since.Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10900757944407777492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779923555333795934.post-14759264032462812912009-12-14T18:30:40.111-06:002009-12-14T18:30:40.111-06:00oklanannie,

After a too long day at work, I have been looking forward to seeing what everyone had to say here today!<br /> As for today's question, I seem to lean towards the 'woman in trouble' theme (Karen Rose's Don't Tell, I'm Watching You, You Can't Hide, Cindy Gerard's To the Brink). And the hero with a tortured past? Too good to pass up as well. When those two ideas are together in the same book, it's a must buy for me. Shannon K Butcher did that well with her Delta Force trilogy starting with No Regrets. Christy, I would definitely put all three of your books in my list of books with favorites themes!Kara Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12056143467787741990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779923555333795934.post-7584828826173222882009-12-14T18:16:41.914-06:002009-12-14T18:16:41.914-06:00Christy's new books will be out shortly and it...Christy's new books will be out shortly and it would be fun to talk with everyone about them. Hopefully, she'll encourage discussions here.
