Moving the Romance...

Whew it's been a few days.. The blog is moving to a brand new shiny home over at my server. I'm on the ultimate countdown to Harry Potter which will probably take me away from my romantic notions for a bit, but all is not lost...

Right now, I'm merely trying to get through Suzanne Brockman's Over The Edge. It's hella good. I also bought Catherine Mann's On Target. Let's face it. The cover is smokin hot. Goodness!



I've also a notebook full of theories, fan mixes and casting calls for the BDB which have yet to see the light of day. As soon as everything's moved, Harry is finished, there'll just be tons to read.

Okay, I gotta get moving.. see you on the other side...

Lesser-cast

It's been a few days and I'm back from Harry Potter land momentarily.

More casting choices..

Neal McDonough, Natural Born Lesser.. He's sexy in an odd sorta way..

With brown hair he could be O.


With white hair, he's so X.


I've not decided which one yet...

More Thoughts from Dark Lover..

Before moving on to my MMS for Lover Eternal, I thought I'd post a few of my lingering notes from Dark Lover. Perhaps after I've done a total re-read, some of these thoughts will have answers.

1. In the beginning of DL, Wrath was surprised to know Darius had a half human daughter. Later on Wrath says. "...He watched over you. All your life he was never far away." DL 139 How did Wrath know Darius was watching over Beth? Wrath seemed to know a great deal about Darius's distant relationship with his daughter.



2. Mr X's childhood story is compelling.( DL p 49) I'm glad I did not miss it. In the margins of my notebook is a little casting note. Dolph Lundgren as X?



3. Mr X is to Billy Riddle as Tohr is to JM in LE and LA. There's something to that I haven't quite put my finger on. The lesser/warrior similarities are still being worked out in my head.



4. On my second read of DL, I paused while Beth looked at her mother's photo. She was once an orphan but not any longer. I thought that was a really nice moment.



5. I wrote this in my notebook. It's sappy but I thought it was a great moment early on between Beth and Wrath. He says. "You make me realize how cold I am." This is something that will show up time and again in the series. The Warriors have denied their hearts because of hurts, guilt, anger etc.Throughout the series, each of them will eventually thaw out. Yes, I realize it is the redemption through the woman thing, but I'd like to think of it as men embracing their true natures. The biggest, toughest bastards have the gentlest hearts, ergo, our 6 said examples, the Warrior Heroes.

Okay, I think that's it for this book. As Diane would say, the list gets longer as the books progressively get better. I know my theories get longer and more convoluted as the books build upon one another. We shall see..

The Princess..

Marissa *is* Paris Hilton.

Make Me Smile: Dark Lover

I thought I'd do a few of my favorite moments from each of the books. It's not always the smut that catches my eye....

Here are the Make Me Smiles (MMS) from Dark Lover.

• Wrath getting jealous of Butch and almost kills him. Wrath tells Beth she's his and that's that. Period. No messing about.
• Fritz fanboys out upon meeting Beth. It's the squee heard throughout the doggen world.
• Beth taking care of Rhage while Wrath watches with total love.
• Beth and Tohr hanging out, watching movies. How absolutely cool is that?
• The formal dinner date otherwise known as the "I've not taken you properly" moment. Wrath cleans up nicely. Fritz just keeps bringing the food. I dunno about you, but I'm breathless!
• Butch meets the Brothers and proceeds to pick a fight with Rhage. A few pages later, V wants to kill B, but the Red Sox bring out love. They get drunk instead. Tohr provides the scotch.
• Wrath takes cheap shot at Tohr regarding Darius. Cummon Wrath, that sorta hate is uncalled for, yo.
• Any time Zsadist makes an appearance. *heart*
• The brothers asking Butch to come along to Screamers after the bonding ceremony. Yes, Sally Fields, they might want to kill you, but like you. Butch calls shotgun. He wants to sit in front with V. *love*
• The Brothers crashed out in the hospital after Wrath gets shot. Z on guard duty. *heart*
• Butch and V waking up from drunken stupors in "separate" beds. It's the only time they do, thus far in the series. Wrath's only comment upon seeing them is "Isn't this cozy." *snicker*

Bonus moment:

Upon seeing Marissa for the first time, Butch thinks she's is a high class whore.

"No wonder the house was so well tricked out." DL pg 274

Bwhahahahaha!!

Cool Rider...

Why is Phury celibate? He's got a hot love jones for the Scribe Virgin. Who better than Michelle Pfeiffer to get that motor running! Lover Enshrined, indeed.
