I guess all I have to say is alarm clock, right? When Phin starts throwing things off the night stand and Sophie begins to freak out that her sister is coming up the stairs to check on her? It was hot AND a hoot. <BR/><BR/>Loved it.lisabeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07920384323769700925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506176252223147658.post-63955216316141278252007-10-18T09:24:00.000-04:002007-10-18T09:24:00.000-04:00Hi Sybil, thanks for dropping by. :) I too had ne...Hi Sybil, thanks for dropping by. :) I too had never read a Crusie (although I had heard a lot about her) until WTT. If you have a chance to bump that one up in your TBR mountain, I would recommend it. Good times fun!<BR/><BR/>Sandy, I got Bet Me from the library last night. After I finish my current book(s), it's next. That dock scene was...well...unexpected? In a GOOD way, though. lol. I'll look forward to reading your blog. *g*<BR/><BR/>Diana, totally agree about the pool table scene. If one needed any more proof that those two were a match made in heaven, that bit of compatibility clears it right up. Will make a note of the Howard recs and see what my library has to offer me.

Uh huh. My other top Crusie picks are Bet Me and Anyone But You. <BR/><BR/>I'm an unashamed Linda Howard geek. Here's what you must read: Kill and Tell (for the balcony scene alone), Cry No More, and Drop Dead Gorgeous. The famous scene in After the Night takes place in a public bathroom, not on the balcony. See? I told you I was a geek.<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>DianaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506176252223147658.post-53424911806476222172007-10-17T13:24:00.000-04:002007-10-17T13:24:00.000-04:00sula, this book has one of the finest bits of writ...sula, this book has one of the finest bits of writing I've ever come across in a romance -- and I think I'll blog about it later today! The scene where Davy meets Phin is one of the funiest I've ever read and I laugh every time I think of "More of the same." Now THAT'S a memorable slogan! And that scene on the dock. Oh my, that scene on the dock! So glad you enjoyed it and I second Rosario's recommendation of Bet Me. Sadly, I think Crusie is kind of lost to us now.Sandydchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18025668480162325319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506176252223147658.post-31152696481940129352007-10-17T05:56:00.000-04:002007-10-17T05:56:00.000-04:00I keep meaning to get to this book. hmmm I haven'...I keep meaning to get to this book. hmmm I haven't read a cruise yet. Although I did read that last book with her, stuart and someone.<BR/><BR/>I have WTT, Bet Me, Anyone But You and I think Faking It :). Most likely all Ro's fault.<BR/><BR/>Do let us know if you read more. After the Night is an interesting read. I ended up reading it as one of my first contemps and didn't care for it. A year or so later after hearing Maili rave about it over and over (or maybe that was just the balcony scene *g*) I read it again. Somewhere near the end it dawned on my I had read it before.<BR/><BR/>Not a flat out fave but I enjoyed it more the second time. I really adore some of her old Harlequin stuff.

Nice to see you. :) (I'm a long time lurker on your excellent blog). <BR/><BR/>I just checked my library's catalogue (god, I love the internet!) and they have <I>Bet Me</I> available, so I placed a hold. Will look forward to adding it to the TBR pile.<BR/><BR/>Kristie, I guess <I>After the Night</I> MUST be good because it is listed as "lost" in the library system. Someone apparently thought it was good enough to add to their personal collection instead of returning it. boo hiss! They do have <I>Drop Dead Gorgeous</I> however, or they will have it back in a week. Unless that borrower also decides to filch. People these days, I tell ya!sulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05470361085886637371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506176252223147658.post-57848730214385356662007-10-14T03:34:00.000-04:002007-10-14T03:34:00.000-04:00Faking it wasn't my fave, either, but as you liked...Faking it wasn't my fave, either, but as you liked WTT, how about yet another Crusie, Bet Me? It, WTT and Anyone But You are my top Crusie favourites, rotating into first place depending on my mood.Rosariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015659149421085931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506176252223147658.post-2681652781155059042007-10-13T22:57:00.000-04:002007-10-13T22:57:00.000-04:00Weeeellll - if you're looking for contemporary rec...Weeeellll - if you're looking for contemporary rec's *g* my favourite contemporary is After The Night by Linda Howard and has been for quite a while now. I also adored Drop Dead Gorgeous and To Die For by the same author. Warning about the heroine though. One either loves her or hates her - there doesn't seem to be much middle ground. I'm a love her.<BR/>I started off years ago reading historicals only but then slowly began branching out and now I can happily say I love books in all genres.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506176252223147658.post-2241601321246262812007-10-13T17:02:00.000-04:002007-10-13T17:02:00.000-04:00Hey Kristie!

Guess that if Davy's story didn't work for you, maybe that shouldn't be my next foray. <BR/><BR/>Glad to hear that you are catching up on Blood Ties! I am watching the last few episodes from season 1 right now as I transfer them from my DVR. I think you will like how things go down with the vampire hunter. And there are some really great moments in the episodes following. In fact, I think I'm gonna go blog an entry about BT now. *g*sulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05470361085886637371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506176252223147658.post-27553602638206000522007-10-13T09:20:00.000-04:002007-10-13T09:20:00.000-04:00Oh - and I meant to add that I seem to be on a Blo...Oh - and I meant to add that I seem to be on a Blood Ties love fest. I was at my neighbours Thursday night and noticed it on at 10:00. I convinced her to watch it. Then it was on last night, an episode I hadn't seen. It's on again tonight (same eppy as last night) then again on Sunday night - where I get to see what happens to Henry and does he get away from the Vampire Hunter. That's 5 Nights In A Row for Blood Ties. I think it's official. I'm obsessed.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506176252223147658.post-53369123757831960032007-10-13T09:17:00.000-04:002007-10-13T09:17:00.000-04:00So are you willing to venture more than just a toe...So are you willing to venture more than just a toe into contemps now having read a keeper :)<BR/>And yes - Davie does get a book of his own book - Faking It. Now it's just me I know, but I've tried a few times to get into this one but just never could. Very odd for a Crusie book for me.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.com
