I'm brainstorming a new Redemption book right now and working on giving those characters the right balance of flaws and strengths.<br /><br />I can see I'm going to have to checkout "Dreaming of You" and "My Sunshine."

I have Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas. Catherine Anderson's My Sunshine. I also have several of yours on my keeper shelves.<br /><br />What I remember most about these books are the flaws and insecurities of the hero and heroine. How they overcome their fears, their disabilities or hidden insecurities. Probably why I liked your Redemption River books.<br /><br />Peace, Julie<br /><br />HaJulie Hilton Steelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17674573842046580196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-16189477069076867722010-10-06T14:09:48.244-07:002010-10-06T14:09:48.244-07:00I could never come up with a list of just 5 books ...I could never come up with a list of just 5 books that are my favorites. Everything is always dependent upon my mood at the time. I actually parted with some of my books for the first time ever about 3 years ago, and still to this day I go on a hunt for that certain 'one' that I just have to read immediately. There are books from 15 years ago that I can't even remember the title just some of the plot and I go hunting for it (sometimes for months!). For me, it's definitely the hero that gets my attention. How he treats the heroine (once he gets over his chauvinistic issues!). I'm drawn to strong, protective, very masculine, and Godly heroes. My current favorites that I read over and over are Cheryl Wyatt's Wings of Refuge series because every one of them has the type of hero I mentioned above.Sherri Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656399640498761396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-79823807610940185262010-10-06T09:23:31.613-07:002010-10-06T09:23:31.613-07:00I find it interesting, too, Missy, that you rememb...I find it interesting, too, Missy, that you remember strong heroine books. I guess that's why I asked the question. Just curious to see the variety out there in our opinions of what makes a great book.<br /><br />Yes, Hummingbird was wonderful. I still have it on my keeper shelf.Linda Goodnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180677262384855235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-77345487757532846252010-10-06T07:01:56.541-07:002010-10-06T07:01:56.541-07:00Linda, I'm not near any of my books right now....Linda, I'm not near any of my books right now. But looking at your list reminded me that Hummingbird is one of the ones I've always remembered.<br /><br />But you know, it seems off the top of my head the ones I remember are the ones that have memorable heroines that I can really relate to. Interesting to think about, though. I'll have to see if I come up with more that have to do with the hero. :)Missy Tippenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480008023330542958noreply@blogger.com
