Ana from Spain writes in with a request for help for a book she didn’t think was that fabulous, but wants to read again nonetheless. So, this is what I remember: (Beware: spoilers!) Red-headed girl with green eyes ¿Morgana? lives in England, but her father dies, and she has no money, so her cousin ¿Ryan? whom she had never met takes her back to Ireland to their grandfather who is rich and had disinherited the girl’s father.

He became a thief to make a living, Now that he’s older, he works for the king Constance is a widowed duchess, Since her duke died, she’s in a big mess. Her skill set comprises curtsies and babies, To keep up appearances and be a lady. Now she’s in a lot of distress, Because the foul villain wants a mistress. He slaps and snarls and gets his hand on her deed, In the midst of printing up the money he’ll need. (You must pay the rent!…

Last night on the Twitter feed I had a ripping good conversation with so many people about their favorite Harlequin lines and which authors are absolute never-fail for them. So many people mentioned the Harlequin Presents line, while I’m partial to the Silhouette Desire line. Authors that make the autobuy list of many on Twitter last night included Sarah Mayberry, Cheryl St.John and Karen Templeton (from Sybil), Sharon Kendrick, Anne McAllister, India Grey, Day LeClaire, Leslie LaFoy, Julia James, Lynne Graham (from Lynne Connolly), Allison Leigh, Christine Rimmer Maya Banks), Nancy Warren, Emilie Rose, Kathie Denosky, Yvonne Lindsay, Anne McAllister,…
