Absolutely adored Victoria Dahl’s Lead Me On… Be warned though, you may discover a latent desire to lick a tattoo after reading it!
Heidi – At first I was like “licking tattoos?” And then I read “Lead Me On” over lunch. And now I’m like “licking tattoos!” This is going to be a tough category!
I think we should take away the DABWAHA nom until Victoria Dahl writes us that tattoo head scene. I mean, come on. what a tease!
Alright, I’m going to participate this year so I’m pretty stoked. Woo hoo for Julie James!
My first time..Yay!Finally got the courage!Gotta admit I loved the Clare, Dahl, James and Griffin.
Soooo excited to see Kristan Higgins on this list. She’s my FAVORITE! Her voice is the only one that drives me to read romantic fiction right now. I wish I could find other writers with voices like hers so I could have something else to read in-between Kristan’s books. I’m so bored with the paranormal and historical authors right now; also, I’m not a fan of suspense or mystery, either. Kristan’s novels touch me and fill me in so many different ways that I just re-read her books until her next one come out each time. My vote’s for KRISTAN!!
