All earth. Beastly and primal" and I loved him. He walks the corridors of Borough Hall with his long dark overcoat flying behind him like a caped crusader. Oh my! Directors of finance at the Council have never been so hot! Da Costa makes working for the Council sexy! (She herself once worked for her local Council) Plus, who knew Council bins could be so erotic? Loved the last scene in the infamous Waverley hotel too!<br /><a href="http://englishliterature24.blogspot.com/2015/12/themes-of-love-and-romance-blended.html" rel="nofollow">English Literature</a><br />English Literaturehttp://englishliterature24.blogspot.com/2015/12/themes-of-love-and-romance-blended.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-77891790389625870232011-03-24T04:13:44.612-04:002011-03-24T04:13:44.612-04:00Thanks, Carly.

Mostly because I get to expect certain things from an author. It's not that one must have sex in a book, and many of my favorite authors don't. But it seems too coy if an author writes in that vein, and then closes it down in the next book. But, like I said, I'd try it and I think a strong voice could probably pull it off. Good luck with your new release!Carly Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18236823971323039071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-54075468613631324002011-03-23T09:37:28.640-04:002011-03-23T09:37:28.640-04:00Thanks, Lucy.

I too would follow an author to a different genre if I liked their voice. Or at least give them a try with a book or two... :)Portia Da Costahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03145185188242876124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-62045878320696447712011-03-23T08:10:35.087-04:002011-03-23T08:10:35.087-04:00Congratulations on the new release!

I would follow a favorite author into another genre, at least to try it, because I also go for voice rather than heat level.Nicole Northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535088964454920083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-57730632867194464442011-03-23T07:50:27.690-04:002011-03-23T07:50:27.690-04:00Very interesting.

I go for voice. Sometimes, I won't like their voice in a certain genre but I always try at least one or two books. <br />For me, it is about the voice and style of the author more than the heat level.Melissa Schroederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12782188611371146688noreply@blogger.com
