Ladies you are killing my pocketbook.  I had to take my grand kids to see Superman and now I know I'm going to buy The Tudors, not to mention all the books I'm buying, even though I promise myself I'm cutting back.  If this continues I will need a part-time job to subsidize my addiction.

I need to by the Tudors as I loved that and when Superman comes out I am buying that so I have Henry at home Oh the thought Yum Yum

Well and truly hooked!

best picture I can find of HC in Breeches

That is Alistair, I swear. How stunning is he.

Or Colin.

Welcome back.  I planning a vacation in a couple weeks but since I live on the gulf I don't know if I want to leave home or just hang out here.

You are so lucky to be on the gulf coast. I just loved it. Take your books to the beach! :)

I need to take a break from reading so much (and spending so

much on books) but I'm addicted.  I'm going to download a couple more of Sylvia's books this weekend.  These sound great.

You will not be disappointed with her historical novels, they are fab! I've read them twice each time. I loved Alistair and Jessica, the pirate, Christopher St John, well! Lustful loving, and you wouldn't want to cross him! The stories are so beautiful, and angsty.

Did have to google some of the words though, old English is interesting. Anyway, back to my pirate. Ciao! :)

First time on this thread.

 

Hi to all.

 

I read very quickly so I have read a lot of the suggested books.  I highly recommend Sylvia's Georgian series.  There is a character named Simon who sort of reminds me of Gideon.  Loved the Stark books by J Kenner and am waiting for the final one next week.  Loved the Gabriel books, the This Man series, and On Dublin St.  The second book was OK and I haven't read Ellie's story yet.  For s e x, you cannot beat the BEAUTIFUL series.  Whew.  

 

I am going to try some of the other suggestions.  Thanks.

I have nearly finished the historical novels of Sylvia's. they are brilliant. I absolutely loved Alastair and Christopher St John.

I am re reading the again.

I can see where she got the idea of Gideon and Eva from. Alistair and Jessica's story was so beautiful.

Give them a go girls.

such a sexy pose

I have nearly finished Sylvia's historical novels. They are brilliant.

Henry would make a great Alistair or Christopher St John. I can just imagine him in breeches and long boots, at the helm of a ship, with a cutlass strapped to his thigh!!!

What say you?

I've got plenty of VITAMINS!!!

He will defiantly need them!!

Fanning myself here!!! Lol

Off to bed contented now.

 

 

 

 

Ummmmmmmm  3 of them  

 

Gabri and Julie join me

I so so like your idea Gabri..........  

He would be worn out!!!

All that stamina. Wowser!

My question would be,

Do the characters come to you first when writing, or the outline of the story?

Yes Cary will be trusted with the kids.  As babies their nanny will have the background equal to or more in depth than the one for the CIA.  When the kids are older the Cross' will open a day care center at Cross Industries to be close to the kids.

I agree with you. There will be more checks on people coming into contact with his children, than people living in Czechoslovakia! Lol

His info gathering knows no bounds.

 

 

  Oh my.......

 

 

Come to me baby  

Oh my. I'm going to love this book if the snippets are anything to go by! My god how hot! Bring it on like now! Please. :)

I absolutely loved Joss and Braden's story!

I love the way he fought for her.

Have you read seven years to sin. Fantastic. Gideon in breeches! Alastair is yummy. So romantic. :)

Hey Julie

 

I have read that one and the Georgian series and the historical ones that SD has written I love them all but I love Alastair in this book, he is so Gideon you can see the similarities from this book to the Crossfire Series.  I hope you enjoy.

 

Just been a hermit the last couple of days getting to read Down London Road, after a while reading I really loved it, was up until the wee hours this morning reading and then when Stuart went to work this evening I finished it, hence why I have not been on site or FB so now downloaded Down Dublin Street to read Joss and Braden's story, so can't wait to start that, maybe tonight

You will love it. As I said a Scottish Gideon sort of!

Just finished seven years to sin. Absolutely loved it. Especially the red dress and the sex in the carriage! how did they manage that!!! Now i see where the sex in the limo and red dress came from in Bared.

Gong to start it again.

Enjoy being a hermit. :)

My husband came home last night with The Tudors box set for me, I think he has now realised fighting my Henry obsession is a lost cause!!

He probably thought, if you can't beat them , join them. Lol what a man, you lucky lady!

I'm reading Seven Years To Sin at the moment. It's d a m n. good. It's Gideon on the high seas. Alastair is so hot! Definitely recommend this one.

First class Sylvia. again!

Yes Sylvia said that she was behind because she was on the road so much and it would take a few weeks after she was home before she could get the snippets out.  My guess is that the publisher asked her to wait to build an audience for Afterburn.

Do we know who is publishing book 4 and 5 yet? Fingers crossed for NOT penguin!

I think Megumi would've figured out about Victor & Monica, yes.  She was there when Eva "caught" them.  Monica was flustered, wearing Eva's clothes and Eva's makeup.  And Victor was in the shower.  Women pick up on that stuff.  Plus Eva's reaction to the whole thing was a dead give-away, I think.

 

If Martin did get wind of it somehow, and immediately reported it to his uncle Richard, I don't think that would make him a bad guy.  He'd see it as saving his uncle from a scheming fortune-hunter, probably.  Incidentally, I like the idea of Victor and Monica getting together.  It'd be nice for her to realize that money isn't the be-all & end-all.  Especially since they've both carried a torch for each other all along.

 

I keep thinking that the only way for Gideon to be free of Nathan's murder is to be arrested, tried, and acquitted for it, since there's no statute of limitations on murder.  Plus it's really bothering Eva not to be able to be frank with Cary about the whole thing.  I think the truth will come out, either in the 4th book, or the 5th.  Maybe Monica & Victor could get reacquainted when supporting Eva through her ordeal?

 

Thank you for the welcome!  I've really been enjoying these boards for the past month or so!  You're all hilarious, with such great insights!

Good to have you on board. We have lots of fun just speculating.

:)

I can understand why she's upset but i do think she is taking it too far. You shouldn't go back to a man's hotel room for a one night stand and expect to be treated with respect. The way he acted was wrong but i still think she is overreacting given the situation.

Yes he was a d I c k , but she gave it to him on a plate! Get over it!

it was late when I was typing it  LOL

Poor Claudine. Lol ;)

Julie,

 

I loved this book, I was late on the take to read this book too.  I hope that you will read Jo's story, "Down London Road" and then Ellie's "Until Fountain Bridge."  Ellie's story (I believe) was not released on paper, but it is really good.  It is more or less a trip down memory lane, but it is still good.  I am glad that you too decided to read Samantha Young's books.

I didn't realise that Ellie's story was out. Looking forward to it. Loved the relationship between Braden and Joss. Braden was a bit of alright. :)
