Love slave
So yesterday, I was taking our Aussie guest to the train station where he was headed off to Philidelphia, and then after taking the Hubster to work, I was running some errands.
One errand was the grocery store. Since I had talked about “refilling the well” and the door I went into the grocery store was by the book aisle, I decided to check out the book section at my local Safeway.
I was actually pretty impressed. They seemed to have an overabundance of Love Inspired, but they also had Blazes and Desires and Presents.
I wanted a long book that would take me most of the day to read. And while the category books tempted me, I knew they were short so wouldn’t take me that long to read. Plus, generally category books don’t end up on my keeper shelf and I really don’t want to more any more than absolutely necessary.
But it was really hard passing up this book, and a day later, I’m still kind of regretting it.
Love Slave to the Sheikh.
Oh my God I love that title. A part of me thinks that I should be really offended by it and say that’s the kind of thing that gives romance novels a bad name, but I totally LOVE it!
To the point where I think I’m going to rename all of my books “Love Slave to someone.”
One Hot Hour - Love Slave to the Sexy Construction Worker Across the Street.
Little Red - Love Slave to the Big Bad Wolf (don’t you think this would have sold so much better?)
Double Jeopardy - Love Slave to Sexy Twins (another bestseller!)
I’m totally going to have to go back to the grocery store in the next few days. Oh, and I just read the blurb on Amazon and the Sheikh is dying from a brain tumor!
I so want this book!!
Oh, and by the way, I ended up with Paid Companion by Amanda Quick. It was good.
What are you reading?

I just ordered a bunch of the new Blazes and I’m starting on those. A reward for the stressful week I’ve had (whew). I know I should be offended by those love slave titles, but they always kind of get me too. I love the way you changed all of your books to love slave titles! Mine would have to be: Love Slave to the IT Guy! LOLOLOL

I’m reading Laura Caldwell’s book The Rome Affair. I haven’t read her before. It’s a MIRA book that I picked up at National. Pretty good read so far!

Too funny!
I just started reading Jill Shalvis’s Get a Clue. So far, I really like it.
My book would be titled Love Slave to the Bitchy Urban Planner. I kind of like that, actually.

Titles do have a way of doing that to us sometimes don’t they?!!! Thats how I ended up reading Susan Sizemore. The title entranced me and a week later I gave in and bought it. Then I loved it so much I had to buy all of her books!!!!!!! *grrin*
Cole -Have a great weekend!

Oh Emma! You made me think of all kinds of title wanna-bes and I’ve spent so much time thinking about titles and laughing about them. thanks for the giggles!
Red Wine and Roses: love slave to a wine expert
HardDrive: love slave to a technology geek
blue steel: love slave to a hot cop
Red Hot: love slave to a Joe the fireman next door
Home Run: love slave to a hot ball player
Dirty Devil: love slave to a vacuum repair man
Heart Beat: love slave to a cardiologist
Tune Up: love slave to either a mechanic or a musician - either works I guess
Please feel free to makek a million selling your series *giggles uncontrollably*
Oh - I must stop now.
I’m reading A Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon. I have the next book Voyageur, but I don’t know that I’m going to read the rest of this one or the next one. I just can’t seem to get into it like I did with Outlander

Have you cooled down yet?
I think I’m one of those people who go around looking for good titles at least that’s how I determine what to find in the library anyways. I just started a Blaze I bought a couple months ago called Hot Spot. I’m liking it.

She’s VERY good.

I love buying books based on the title!
I’m reading Ex and the Single Girl by Lani Diane Rich that I got at National. It’s good!

Emma - because of you I got this book.
I admit it is the first time I actually read a Harlequin Presents Uncut because I prefer intrique/suspense/mystery, but I have to say - this was pretty hot.
It was an excellnet read and I recommend it. :D
Happy Packing (and I only have 4 pair of shoes which includes my slippers)
