What's the Best Book You've Read All Year?

Ellen Hartman — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 10:37:11 -0400

I put up an annual blog post here at eHarlequin where we post 12 books we’re planning to read during the year. I have to admit that my reasons for doing the blog post are partially selfish. Readers at eHQ are so widely read and so knowledgeable about the next great book that I scour the responses for recommendations. Sometimes we come back and post our impressions of the books in that thread, but it’s mostly a great way to find books people are anticipating.

So now I’m approaching the question from the other side: What’s the best book you’ve read this year? (Or any time recently. Don’t feel you need to confine yourself to one calendar year!) Doesn’t have to be romance. Doesn’t have to be anything except a really great read you want to share with us!

Do you believe in virgins?

Jennifer Lewis — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 04:01:35 -0500

I’ve heard a lot of people, readers and writers, laugh at the idea of a contemporary romance with a virginal heroine. I discussed the issue in the Dear Reader letter for my newest book:

So, what do you think is the most romantic place to snuggle down with someone special?

Some friends who helped with the preliminary voting on the Top Outfits for Men poll were very generous and helped me come up with another preliminary list - this time for the most romantic places to steal a kiss.

And in the interests of helping everyone keep the passion alive in their own kiss-stealing, I bring that list to you for further voting. It's like a public service announcement really. We aim to help.

Here we go. Top 10 Places To Steal A Kiss with a special someone:

under the stars, maybe on the beach with a campfire, maybe on a grassy hill on a picnic blanket

Ever been dumped?

Leanne Banks — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 08:22:27 -0400

Ever been dumped? It occurred to me that a lot of dumping goes on in romance novels. And there are so many ways to be dumped. By a boyfriend, by a friend, by an employer. I remember the first time I was dumped by a boy. I was seventeen. He moved to California. I was desolate. We had the kind of relationship where I stood by the phone waiting... I knew I would never get over him...

Do SHOES maketh the heroine?

Rachel Bailey — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 03:15:21 -0400

Recently, I received the cover of my first Desire, Claiming His Bought Bride. And I LOVE it. Really, really love it.

The scene is from the book, just after Damon and Lily get married. The fabulous production department at Harlequin have used so many details from the story: from Damon's dark, wavy hair to him carrying Lily through the door to their hotel room.

Lily is tall and has long blonde hair and is carrying a small bouquet of Lily-of-the-Valley, just as the scene is written. She’s also wearing a white cotton summer dress as she is in the book.

But one thing I didn’t describe in the book, and the production department has had to improvise, is Lily’s shoes.

What have you learned lately?

Leanne Banks — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 08:39:33 -0400

Here he is! Rafe Medici, hero from FROM PLAYBOY TO PAPA! Coming in January! I love how our clever Yvonne Lindsay describes this cover "The Body". As gorgeous and successful as Rafe is, when he finds out he has a son, he needs to learn how to be a Dad.

This made me think about how much I like to learn new things. I'm sure I've learned several things during the last few months, but I'm thinking about two in particular.

Love and Loss

I thought long and hard about whether to write the blog I’d planned for this date, the one dealing with yet another of the comments and questions we writers get so often. Finally, though, I decided it would be a copout, maybe even dishonest, after sharing so much of my journey over the past few months of my husband’s battle with cancer with you, not to share with you the journey’s end.

I lost my love, my Gary, ten days ago.
