I loved your choices. I would also add:
J.D. Robb's NAKED IN DEATH, the first book of her In Death series. Good intro to what a futuristic could be, without the jargon, and with plot AND emotional charge, and it has a happy ending.
So far, we've covered vampire hunters, futuristic cops, contemporary action dudes (firefighters, SEALs), historical, millionaires, spies. We don't have a western. Any suggestions?
Oh, we must include one TIME TRAVEL and I nominate:
Linda Howard's SON OF THE MORNING. There's nothing like that book. It's a thriller, historical, timetravel, Highlander, Crusades mystery all wrap in one big Black Niall. ;-)
Talking about time traveling, let's go back to 1981 when I first saw this man:
I saw Sting (The Police) live in Europe for something ridiculous, like $5, in 1981. I was in lurv with that man, so much so, my boyfriend traveling with me told me he would cut his hair like Sting's ;-). I wanted to marry Sting. I wanted Sting's baby. In fact, I considered Sting my second secret husband after Donny Osmond.
Now look at this pic, taken a month ago:
2007. Where has the time gone???
This is Sting's son Joe, playing his newest hit (OPENING FOR THE POLICE), Two Sisters. He looks like his daddy, even sings like his daddy. He's cute like his daddy. I...I...I feel incestuous. Heehee.
And the lyrics to Two Sisters is a total Sting Bad Boy Song!
Bear with me while I learn. The first button likes the POST. The second button likes the BLOG site. Please help me by "liking" me. Thanks!

Secret husbandzzzz? How many do you have? And do they know about the "other" secret husband(s)??! Inquiring minds wanna know!
Bookwise: How about offering The Hunter up for the course? Or all three of the Crossfire series. I'd take the course if you teach that, LOL. I would like you talk about the heroines in today's new and improved romance thrillers. Not just victims or running damsels in distress types in these three books, yay. Also, would love to hear your take of the three SEAL heros' different ways of tackling the female-trafficking problem. Well, Professor Low? Or should I say, Prof Glow? :oD
Wow! Son of Morning? I remember time travel romances were really popular then, but I didn't really enjoy them except for this one. It was an awesome work of art. Exciting, mysterious and oh-so-sensual. Loved it to bits. I still have it somewhere at home.
I thought Jude Devereaux did a really great time travel in A Knight in Shining Armor. The ending was bittersweet but it was such a well done tt.
I can't believe how much Sting's son looks like him. I totally had the hugest crush on all the members of the police. My fave would change all the time, LOL.
I'll put my two cents in for the westerns, being as they're not usually my thing, so if I'm obsessed....etc
two words: Joan Johnston. *sighs* Her Bitter Creek series is amazing! My favorite is 'The Loner.' Sekrit babies, bitter rivalries and the true meaning of family (amongst other amazing things)set against the west:)
Here is the order:
-The Cowboy
-The Texan
-The Loner
-The Price
-The Rivals
-The Next Mrs. Blackthorne...
You can actually show the POSITIVE aspects of transitioning a historical family into a contemporary series( see the connection between the Blackthorne family and the family that populates her historical romances...)
Happy reading everybody:)
Stacey
who still wonders when Jenn is going to come to NY;)
La Linda, most defnitely. Will have to think about some others.
My fav song was, "Don't stand so close to me," dunno if that was the exact title. We'd sing it at school and drool over one of the pe teachers. He was such a hotty. Meow!
Whenever I do hear them I think about long summer days down here in Wellington, sneaking out the window and going down to Khandallah pool late at night, jumping the fence and going for midnight dips. Slightly safter then to wander the streets late at night! Wouldn't dream of it now, and I also think I've grown out of my bikini! LOL!!!
Joanna,
I have many sekret husbands ;-). Doesn't every girl?
Thank you for suggesting my three SEAL books for the course. I'd love to spend an hour or two talking about the heros and heroines. They are very dear to me.
Fanciful Fern,
Wasn't that the best book?! I love Black Niall and I love the way that book moved from genre to genre so seamlessly.
Stacey,
I have a few of JJ's books on my keeper shelves. Wonderful stories. About New York, I know, I know...I can't get away! But the moment I have a block of free time, you know I'll contact you immediately! Mwah.
Sarah,
You naughty girl, you ;-). And since I went to an all-girls school, 99.9 percent of our teachers were women. No hawt males to sing that song about! Our one lone male teacher was not fantasy material, LOL.
Sting sure brings back a lot of good times for me. And that voice. His voice just gets me every time! Gush, gush, gush.
