Julian. The Name. Love it!

I have this thing for heroes called Julian.

I love Julian Samms from The Samms Agenda by Alison Kent. He my favourite guy in the SG-5 series. I find him to be the hottest, but probably also because his name is Julian.

And now I'm reading Pamela Clare's Hard Evidence. Ooh Julian Darcangelo. I'm only up to page 130, but I already think he's the perfect Julian. Menacing, hot, and sweet. "Not so bad", really. ♥

My other favourite romance hero names? Macedon (new!), Cadeon, Ranulf, Bevier. Ok, Bevier is not from a romance novel, but I can just imagine saying his name while.. ☺

Back to reading Hard Evidence. Ooh Julian Darcangelo.

Hot x 4.

No, I cannot resist four brothers in a book. Multiply hotness by four, and that's Animal Lust by Lacy Danes. I wasn't interested in this book at first because I just don't feel like reading any historicals at the moment. But then, there're four brothers, so how can I say no to four brothers?

Yummy x 4.

Favourite brother? I don't know. Maybe Orin. I've do have a thing for eldest brothers. Davy McCould rocks. *Sigh.

One thing that gets to me though, is that one of the brothers' name is called Mac. What's wrong with Mac? Well, I had nothing against the name at first, not until it was revealed that Mac's full name is Macedon. I repeat, Macedon. M-A-C-E-D-O-N. Macedon. I thought Macedon sounded really sexy. But it's only mentioned once in the whole book. Therefore, I'll make up for the lack of it here: MacedonMacedonMacedonMacedonMacedonMacedon.

Sir Macedon Ursus. ♥

10 New Books!

The past friday, 29th June 2007, was the day when 2 major bookstores are offering discounts storewide. And it's also the day I made my record of buying the most books in a day.

Showing off what I got in the order I took from the shelves:

Suite Fantasy by Janice Maynard

I read her novella in Wildest Dreams. Loved it, wanted more, got this book, am very happy now.

The Art of Seduction by Katherine O'Neal

I was so happy to see The Art of Seduction! It's supposed to be out on Feb'07, so I expected to see the book on the shelves latest by April (it takes approx. 1-2 mths for books released in the states to reach major bookstores here in lil' Singapore), but I had to wait 4 months! Till end June. Begining July. Argh.

Immortal Bad Boys
by Rebecca York, Rosemary Laurey, Linda Thomas-Sundstrom

I saw this book a long time ago on the shelves, but didn't buy it because I wasn't into paranomals. But it's a different story now.

Bad Girl Bridesmaids by Susanna Carr

When I lay my fingers on this book, I was silently screaming in my head: "OMG! OMG! OMG!OH YES! OH YES! OMG! OH YES! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! OMG! OMG!" and so on.

Bled Dry by Erin McCarthy

I love the cover art. I love Erin McCarthy's Vegas Vampires. The first two books in the series are already the best damn funny vampire books I've ever read.

Close Encounters of the Sexy Kind by Karen Kelly

Read the excerpt for this? It's so damn hilarious. Karen Kelly did mention on her blog quite some time ago that she may write about a dark vampire. I'm so looking forward to that!

Bad Boys with Red Roses
by Janelle Denison, Tina Donahue, Sharon Cullars

The title always gives me an image of a man in tuxedo holding a red rose (or a bouquet would be nice).

What She Craves by Lacy Danes

It's a historial romance, not obvious from the sexy cover. Luckily I came across the sexy excerpt, if not I might not have wanted to buy this book yet. It's shrink-wrapped too. I wish all books on the stores are shrink-wrapped so I don't have to waste time scrutinizing all copies to find one that isn't destroyed by the rough-handling by inconsiderate browsers.

Pleasures of the Night by Sylvia Day

I saw Alluring Tales first (an anothology with Sylvia Day in it too), but I placed it back on the shelf after I spotted this book. Because I was really, really tired carrying 9 books in my hand by now. Alluring Tales can wait.

Dipped in Chocolate by Renee Luke

It's a sexy book with chocolates mentioned, why shouldn't I get this?

--------------------

Lastly, my arms/hands/fingers hurt bad carrying 10 trade paperbacks home.

What I Crave

I feel really good today.

Anyway, since I still can't stand reading for long durations, I though I'd satisfy myself with reading the books excerpts, that cames with almost all the books I own.

I randomly picked P.J Mellor's book, Give Me More, and it comes with an excerpt of Lacy Dane's erotic historial romance anthology, What She Craves.

From the cover, I had totally no idea that this is a historial romance. Had I known, I may just check out this book earlier. I feel that I've been reading too much comtemporary romances lately.

"Let me tickle you, my sweet," he said as he slid his finger beneath her chin and raised her eyes.

Omg, this sounds so naughty.
