Not that I can remember anyway. I think my favorite book characters are Eve and Roarke from J.D.Robb's In Death series, I can't get enough of them.

I used to buy books because of the nice covers, but I've read too many books where the cover's been misleading. However, a nice cover will always catch my eye and I'll pick up the book and read the blurb on the back. I'd say London, with all of its history, is my favorite locale for a book.

It sounds like so much fun (well, except for the dead gal, but hey! SOMEBODY has to die!) And the cast in this series is one of my very favorites. I love any chance I get to visit with them!<br /><br /><br />I have bought a few books based on the cover. Lisa Kleypas's Devil in Winter, believe it or not. I had never read one of her books and I saw this cover - country house, snowy English scene, and I picked it up. Sebastian St. Vincent is STILL one of my favorite heroes EVAH!<br /><br />I have to say the entire Wallflower series cast are favorites of mine. <br /><br />And Sebastian St. Cyr, Hero, Kate and all the gang from the C.S. Harris series are definitely some of my all time favorites. <br /><br />Oh and the MacKenzie brothers in Jennifer Ashley's series are wonderful. Such a diverse group of men who fight and love like real brothers do. Great series!Louisa Cornellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971924594129471055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-6325920830003957252010-08-25T17:14:54.443-04:002010-08-25T17:14:54.443-04:00Love the cover, Kate!

I've never bought a book solely on the cover, but I've most definitely picked one up because it had an eye-catching cover.<br /><br />My favorite ongoing characters are Eve and Roarke---yummy Roarke!---in J.D. Robb's "In Death" series. There's actually a cat in the series, too. :-)Gannon Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636246789013520445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-79607268137116821042010-08-25T16:55:48.725-04:002010-08-25T16:55:48.725-04:00Congrats on having such a wonderful cover!

I have so enjoyed the first two.<br /><br />As for continuing series, I'm always looking forward to the next of Margaret Maron's Deborah Knott series and C. S. Harris's Sebastian St. Cyr mysteries. As for romance, I can't wait to read the next book in Anne Gracie's Devil Riders series and the second of Kate Moore's Jones brothers books, both due in October. And ever since Julia Quinn said her next book will feature a Smythe-Smith heroine from the famous "musical" family of the Bridgerton books, I've been beyond eager to read that one.Jangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128188159653860806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-60246146401992787942010-08-25T12:56:01.208-04:002010-08-25T12:56:01.208-04:00By the way, everyone, if you want a laugh, go chec...By the way, everyone, if you want a laugh, go check out my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/katecarlislebooks" rel="nofollow">Facebook page</a>.
