Keira's favorite type of heroes are blind, scarred, and tortured... yes, she understands those should be separate, but all 3 at once is also nice! She enjoys historical romances best and adores audio books because great narrators turn books into auditory/mental movies (and she loves her romantic dramas like Pride and Prejudice/North and South!)

great roundup of links! especially Laura Kinsale’s guest post on non-kick-ass heroines. of course all of them in paranormals sorta have to be, but in other sub-genres its no less exciting if they are not!
Thanks! I really liked Kinsale’s blog about non-kick-ass heroines too. If I was ever in a novel, I would be that type of heroine. Me vs spider? Spider wins. Stopping a bomb? Hahahaha…. In a gun or knife fight? I’m probably going to die. If I had to stitch a hero up? Yeah… not happening. I have a low ick factor. I might have semi-decent bedside manners but I wouldn’t nurse him back to health if vomiting is involve. Makes me gag too. Yuck. I am thoroughly non-kick-ass and proud. lol
