2005 Top Ten Romance Couples

For one of my groups we had to list our top 10 couples from romances. I had to do some thinking because I've read so many romances with great couples in them. After a few days of pondering I decided that most of the couples were actually old favorites, none of which had been bumped off for newer couples. A super romance couple needs to have the following qualities:
  • Mutual respect
  • Everlasting, fathoms deep love and devotion
  • An intense connection
  • Fiery chemistry
  • The ability to convince the reader that they will be together until the day they die
1.Wolf and Mary--Mackenzie's Mountain by Linda Howard
2.Sebastian and Jessica--Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase
3.Derek and Sara--Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas
4.Daniel and Elise--Iguana Bay by Theresa Weir
5.Carter and Bailee--The Texan's Wager by Jodi Thomas
6.Jack and Anne-All Through The Night by Connie Brockway
7.Julian and Grace--Fantasy Lover by Sherrilyn Kenyon
8.Mary and Sebastian--A Well-Pleasured Lady by Christina Dodd
9.Elizbeth and Myles--Velvet Angel by Jude Deveraux
10.Samuel and Leda--The Shadow and the Star by Laura Kinsale

Perhaps a little morbid of me, but I have been thinking a lot about death lately. I am a Christian, and I believe in life after death. I believe in eternal life with God after death. But there's still a part of me that wonders if life isn't just a cosmic joke. A part of me that fears that black oblivion of death. I think sleep is a good thing, but there are other things that I would prefer to do. I sleep because if I don't I am tired and I don't function well. The reason why I write this is because I think of death sometimes like sleep. If there is life after death (which I believe and choose to believe in), then death is just a long nap. But if for some reason death is the end, then it's a really scary thought that there's no waking up from that dark cloud of nothingness. My problem is that I am a worrier. I am pathological about it, actually. I am so bad about it, I memorized most of the scriptures that deal with worrying. It's like in that movie Inventin...

That writing bug has hit me again... I am finally recovering from a really, really long spell of writer's block. I have some good ideas swirling around in my brain. Think "Dreamcatcher", Jonesy's brain. That's how mine is. Well I'm wanting to do a Victorian Historical Romance series with a serious action/adventure edge. I'm thinking it's going to have some elements of the Orient, complete with stolen swords. Actually I have at least ten Victorian books in me since I love that time period. There's so many opportunities. Egypt, China, and that's not even talking Scottish men! Think Gerard Butler and a bluestocking spinster chock full of Victorian moral sensibilities. Intriguing.... Now I just need to set my arse down and write. Also I discovered a new classic Horror writer: George MacDonald, who happens to be a Christian writer. I need to pick him up. He has a book called Lilith, based on the old myth about Adam's wife. It's guaranteed to...

My Blond Yummy Gallery Includes: Rupert Penry-Jones Luke Goss Douglas Henshall Thomas Kretschmann Phillip Winchester Sunday is a Good Day Did you enjoy the gallery of Blond hotness? Don't forget Quantam of Solace comes out this weekend. Can you say Daniel Craig you have washboard abs I could bounce a quarter off of? You probably wouldn't say that, but I will. I am so feeling blond men lately. But I guess they are becoming hotter as I get older. I am just chilling today. Trying to get over this cold I caught. It could be worse, though. I have to get up very early tomorrow to go back to work after spending last week in Mississippi for a work conference. Unfortunately the hotel we had to stay in was a fleabag. It is so nice to be home in my own bed and clean house. The good news is I spent the week with some hot guys (in the books, unfortunately). I read the following books last week: Sale or Return Bride by Sarah Morgan Ice Storm by Anne Stuart Surrender by Pamela Clare Dark Desi...
