You've got to laugh

[bookaddict43]

This is my second day back at work and I've been cataloguing, among other things, some romance fiction. The titles just make me laugh -

Seven-year seduction

The Italian Doctor's perfect family

The Sicilian's Red-hot revenge

The Ruthless Marriage Proposal

The Desert King's virgin bride

And the historical/hysterical titles (it makes me long for Georgette Heyer)

The Defiant mistress

The Abducted heiress

The Vagabond Duchess

Oh, I love these! They remind me of my long-ago Barbara Cartland addiction. :)

Of course, now my "romance" reading is pretty much whatever I find here on LJ, LOL. :)

[bookaddict43.livejournal.com]

Ah Barbara C! Her girls were always so pure and good :) And I just realised I haven't friended you back! So I'm going to - hope that's ok?

[ladytalon1.livejournal.com]

Oh, LOL! I love the title of The Sicilian's Red-hot revenge...

[bookaddict43.livejournal.com]

I think I might have to read that one! I want to know what the revenge is?

Although, I want to read about "The Mercenary's Red-Hot Revenge"!

The Mercenary's Red Hot Revenge

[prehistoric-sea.livejournal.com]

"Ja-Jayne, let's just be rational now, shall we?"

The companion backed up a few steps, holding her hands up as if that could stop the infuriated mercenary that loomed menancingly in the door to her shuttle.

"How couldja 'Nara?"

"I-I'm sorry--"

"Sellin' the vids we made? Them was some inna-mit moments! Some o' that stuff I ain't never done with no one 'cept you--"

"I'm so sorry!" Inara looked almost as if she might cry. Jayne's expression of hurt and disgust was almost too much to bear. "The money was too good. I got stupid."

Jayne lifted her up in one smooth motion and she gave a little cry of surprise as her back hit a silk-draped bulkhead. Balancing her light frame against it with one hand, he used his other to tear her dress from neckline to waist.

Inara gasped. Shock gave way to desire as she felt the big man press up against her, wrapping her legs around his slim waist and pressing his arousal up against her. A warm hand cupped her breast, then two calloused fingers closed roughly over her nipple.

Jayne growled as he nipped at her smooth, white neck.

"This time, you cut me in, dong ma?"

[lvs2read.livejournal.com]

OMG! Those first ones sound like horrible Harlequins of the '70s, and the historical ones almost make me ashamed of reading Regencies...almost. *g* They actually sound familiar. I'll have to check my bookshelves... *g*

[bookaddict43.livejournal.com]

I still read the Regencies now and then, but I still miss the wit and humour of Heyer! Did you find any of them on your shelves? *giggles*
