I found out it was being made into a movie and got the book asap from the library. The cover has a black background, red text, and a white rose, which were other clues that the book was something I wanted to read.Keira Gilletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07331468391417189912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3217012316587200736.post-28731762204267409452010-04-28T16:29:34.621-04:002010-04-28T16:29:34.621-04:00Some of my fave titles are from the FBI series by ...Some of my fave titles are from the FBI series by Kay Hooper...Hiding in the Shadows, Out of the Shadows, Stealing Shadows, Sense of Evil, Touching Evil, Whisper of Evil, Blood Dreams, Blood Sins and the latest Blood Ties.

As a series Regency, it's not a particularly sensual book, but the title riffs on both the surface meaning (hero charged with task of sorting out heroine's financial affairs) and also their personal relationship (which, although romantic more than sexual, is still mildly scandalous as he's not of her class).<br /><br />I have to take points off for series' titles that are too interchangeable: Simply X and Strictly Y in the case of Balogh, and Forbidden, Forbidden Joy, etc. by Jo Beverley. The title then becomes divorced from the plot, characters, etc. and thus doesn't help the reader to know what will be in the book or, after reading it, what the book was about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3217012316587200736.post-57907889229164680872010-04-28T10:39:59.182-04:002010-04-28T10:39:59.182-04:00Really great post, don't have a favorite title...Really great post, don't have a favorite title although all of the titles that you mentioned are great..I tend to read 4 genres and 3 fall under the general "romance" catagory and I have to say that you hit the nail on the head with this, as someone who reads series it is really helpfull if the title gives me a clue that it's part of the series, in the paranormal romance catagory I'm reading the Kate Douglas series by Ilona Andrews and everyone of the books has the word "Magic" in the title and lets me know it's part of the seris.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610197634075184793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3217012316587200736.post-32412002055296046512010-04-28T09:03:47.427-04:002010-04-28T09:03:47.427-04:00HA, I love the title of today's post!

Or, maybe not, but I just wasn't thinking about the authors playing with words.<br /><br />I'm not a writer, but if I had to title my story it would be Life On A Treadmill: Running All The Time, But Not Getting Very Far. (Seems like I'm running errands, taking my daughter to soccer practices and games, etc.) :)<br /><br />Fave title---hmmm, I'm going to have to think about that one. I did just read Amanda Forester's The Highlander's Sword and thought, um, about something with the male anatomy.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12831144769121001738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3217012316587200736.post-53578190060255598582010-04-28T07:30:31.513-04:002010-04-28T07:30:31.513-04:00I thought The Forrest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie...I thought The Forrest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan was a brilliant title, just because it's so provocative. My daughters love it, too.<br /><br />I love cozy mystery titles. The Diva Runs out of Thyme, Larceny and Lace, Dead As A Scone. If Books Could Kill.<br /><br />Mary Balogh's set of titles were one of my favorites of Regency. I also liked the title The Education of Mrs. Brimley; it's in my tbr pile.Gillian Laynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15772849187702478349noreply@blogger.com
