Reader Confession – Who do you cast as the female heroine?

By 9 Comments

Oh YES YES YES!!! MichelleS brought this up today, and of COURSE, the majority of time, if I’m “feeling” the heroine, I almost feel like I BECOME the heroine. It’s me. But then, I thought again… and I realize… not quite. 😉

MichelleS: It’s WEDNESDAY! Can we play WCW? (Woman crush Wednesday). You’ve mentioned your go-to hotties for male roles.

Do you cast yourself as female heroine? If I need a short, smart, sassy Brunette my go-to girl is Anna Kendrick. Love her sassy little self. I guess I could use Maryse too! She’s like a Anna Kendrick too! Ha! Amy can be in all my emotional YAs. But I’m probably picturing her all wrong.

Maryse: Ooooh I’m like a Anna Kendrick?!!! HOW COOL IS THAT?!!

Maryse: Sometimes, if I know the author or what she looks like… I cast her. ;) LOL!!! Do you know how often Kristen Ashley or Karina Halle has been her own heroine, in my head while reading their books? Or like for “Until It Fades” by K.A. Tucker. Yep. K.A. Tucker was who I was seeing as the main character. Tarryn Fisher? Always the heroine in her books. In EVERY book, I see Tarryn (except for Dirty Red – the cover model was easily the one to envision).

Tessa: I paint a picture of what I think the person looks like. It’s never an actual person, just a specific person in my head. I think that’s my problem when I’m writing. I have a specific look in my head of someone I’ve never met, and that’s who I keep searching for on Pinterest. lol, It’s always an epic fail.

R: My go-to guys are #1 Josh Duhamel, #2 Diego Boneta, and if they don’t fit, Ian Somerhalder, Alexander Skarsgård, or Aaron Rodgers <–he’s great for athletes! Girls are #1 Lily Collins (but she tends to morph into Nina Dobrev), Dianna Agron, Amanda Seyfried, & Elle Fanning. I can’t find a red head who will stick!

Maryse: My red heads are always Amy Adams (for that shy, distinguished redhead) or Isla Fisher for the goofy or obnoxious-but-bombshell redhead… or the cover model for Dirty Red… she has that “look” that fits SO many characters.

Or sometimes… me <— LOL!!! 😉 I must indulge sometimes, right? Especially if I’m really connecting to the heroine AND the hero. Tee hee! And yes, I know many think I’m more brownish-haired – and I suppose that’s true now as I’ve gotten older, it has darkened, but I was born, and raised with very red/strawberry blonde hair. My nickname in elementary school was Pippi Longstockings (braids and all) neutral … so yeah. *hrmph* So I’ve earned the right to play that part. ;)

How about you guys?

Alexa Riley – For Her Series

By Leave a Comment

Each book can be read as a standalone, and this author is known for her super-steamy romance!

Ela: I love her short quick smut reads. I suggest EVERYONE READ ALEXA RILEY SMUT WITH ME THERE IS NOTHING BETTER!

About book #1:

I’ll never forget the way she looked, so confident and sure of herself. I watched her from a distance. She wasn’t ready for me yet. I didn’t approach her and I didn’t disturb her, but I never once took my eyes off her.  

Mallory Sullivan is ready to start her new life. After graduating at the top of her class, she’s landed one of the most coveted internships in the United States. Hard work and determination have gotten her to this moment of living the life she only dreamed of growing up in foster care.

From the start, I knew that she would be my greatest achievement, so the day I let her go, I set down a path for her. A path to me.

She never expected Oz to be the greatest culmination of those dreams. But sometimes fate determines who you fall in love with. Who makes you lose control. Who owns your soul.

And then you realize it wasn’t fate at all…

I’ve wanted to care for and protect her since the first moment I saw her. I’ve constructed everything in our lives so that at the perfect moment, I could have her, could give her the life she deserves. 
The time has come.

Jay Crownover – The Getaway Series Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

NEW JAY CROWNOVER series, with two more books up for preorder (one of ’em, coming out in just a few weeks!!). Book #1 sounds pretty awesome (she’s convinced by her best friend to go on a “roughing it retreat” but doesn’t realize what she’s up against…
The author says:

…the Getaway series which centers on the hardheaded and brokenhearted Warner brothers and the women that dare to love them. These boys are very good at putting the wild in wilderness.

About book #1:

I was a woman on the edge, shaken and shattered after a breakup that felt like it tore my entire world apart.
My best friend, sick of watching me drown in misery and melancholy, harassed me until I agreed to go with her on a week-long wilderness retreat.
She promised days spent bonding and getting in touch with our inner bad-asses. It was supposed to be all about the two of us roughing it and making do with the bare minimum. She assured me we were going to be pushed to our limits in ways that were unimaginable. Neither one of us could have ever guessed just how right she was.
Nowhere in the glossy brochure did it say anything about the fact I was going to have to battle the insufferable but deliciously rugged and sexy trail guide instead of the elements. The brochure also forgot to mention the part that warned when you left civilization behind, there was no place to pack your inhibitions and fears.
I was told that I would be facing a week where the only thing I should expect was the unexpected. However, no one mentioned that I was going to have to fight for my life…and my heart as soon as I ventured into the unknown.
I was a pro at hiding from my feelings but when it came time to face a real threat, one that could change everything, I learned I was more of a no surrender, no retreat kind of girl.
