Does anyone hear know the Stephanie Plum novels by Janet Evanovich. Wonderfully trashy and really entertaining books. I always think she should end up with Ranger. But I see why she fancies Morelli. At least he doesn't kill people.

I thought we had a thread on this a while ago or perhaps it was another forum.
Ok I've done this more than once - "starting" a thread that already existed in the annals of Litnet. I think I'll give up.... :blush:
Ps I think the title for my thread suggests I'm more of a romantic than the author of the thread in which we now find ourselves!!

Benedick - "Much Ado About Nothing"
gonna jump on the bandwaggon and say Edward Cullen as well....oh the passion! Shame she lost sight of his character in the last book...
Who's that guy in Bridget Jones?
Mark Darcy? (aka Mr Darcy)
The fictional love of my life would have to be Gabriel from the Annette Curtis Klaus novel (not movie) Blood and Chocolate because he is so primal, yet sensitive and he is willing to wait for the woman he desires. He is patient and understanding and the perfect image of a macho man without the overdone ego or narcissism; just an overall bad boy with good guy qualities. Gabriel is a man with whom I would love to hop on a motorcycle with and traverse the country without a care.
Ahh! I love that marriage proposal! And I've not read the book! Oh dear what have you started?! :DQuote:

Among others...Aragorn from Lord of the Rings, Edmund Dantes from Count of Monte Cristo, a small crush on Professor Snape. Interestingly enough, tall, dark and handsome seem to fit into my real life crushes, especially seeing as it includes long hair too! :blush:
One character I really, really loved was Razumikhin from Crime and Punishment..Raskolnikov's best friend (right??), he was such a sweet man!
I would have thought you would have preferred Don Quixote. :D Or maybe Sancho Panza. :pQuote:

Yes, there definitely is something, isn't there? :nod: :DQuote:

As for John Thorton, I have always had a fondness for him, but I can honestly say that any stronger "feelings" that I have had for him lately are due to the sight of Richard Armitage in the role that he plays to perfection. ;)
He heightens the character alright! :pQuote:

I see Mr. Darcy is stealing the show!
Since I last posted I've come up with a few more --- call me a romantic!
* The Baron from Chekhov's "Three Sisters" (so sweet and steadfast)
* Onegin from Pushkin's "Eugene Onegin" (dashing, morose, and the way in which he learns to love is heartbreaking)
* Inman from "Cold Mountain" (OK, so maybe it's Jude Law) :D
* Julien Sorel from "The Red and the Black" (I loved him when I read the book, being very young and not realizing what a hypocritical creep he was) :lol:
maybe that's because Gaskell shows us the perspective of different characters, whereas in P&P Darcy's consciousness is never actually presented (except in one tiny little passage) and we only know him through Elizabeth. ???Quote:

Faramir from Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings', Captain Wentworth from Austen's 'Persuasion' and Sirius Black from Harry Potter are the main ones, for me. However, I'm also rather fond of Giles Winterbourne from Hardy's 'The Woodlanders', and if anyone's read Philip Pullman's 'The Ruby in the Smoke', I've adored Frederick Garland for years.:blush:
Ron T.'s one, ot P. J.'s one? ...Quote:
