RELENTLESSLY BIG CONTEST Day Ten
Apr

2009

Today’s book is Michelle Pillow’s Bit By The Bug!. This is the first in her Matthews Sisters series and I really enjoyed it. You can read an excerpt by clicking the link right above.

Kat Matthews is in love…with her art. As a photographer, her greatest desire is to one day create a photo so potent that it will stand the test of time, the kind of picture that is looked at for centuries and remembered. If she can accomplish that, she will be content. While vacationing with her mother in Vale, Colorado, she meets an eccentric, rich couple who have a bizarre proposition. They want to hire her to date their son. And not just date him, but train him how to date so he’ll continue doing so afterward. As payment, they dangle a once in a lifetime opportunity in front of Kat – the chance to have her photographs seen by the owner of the most prestigious are gallery in New York. Their terms should be simple—teaching their reclusive son how to date without him finding out. Dr Vincent Richmond unwittingly holds the key to her dreams in his hands…if only he’d notice she exists.

Today’s Question: who is your favorite romance couple/trio? (because unlike some folks, I believe menages can be romance thankyouverymuch)

Winners will be announced tomorrow (April 25) in the evening – I’ll be out and about all day and I want to give folks a chance to enter for a few more hours so I’ll draw when I return to the hotel in the evening! Winners have seven days to claim their prize, after that time, I’ll redraw for a new winner. Good luck

    So many to choose from! Well, one couple that springs to mind: Eve and Roarke. Perhaps not my *ultimate* favorite, but definitely up there in my top few. They just have such a history and have evolved and grown throughout the coarse of the series that you can’t discount them! 🙂

    I have go with Eve and Roarke. Because I love that we get to see them evolve over time. They may not be the ultimate couple like in hearts in flowers. But I love the dynamic of their relationship. And in the end you know he would walk through the fires of hell for her. And she for him. And who could ask for anything else in romance couple

    Hmmm… favorite romance couple? Not doable. Sorry.
    Haha. Bobby Tom Denton and Gracie Snow. Min Dobbs and Cal Morrisey. Derek Craven and Sarah Feilding. (I am certain I’m getting names wrong but you know, I’m too lazy to go check :X)
    As for trios – I think if written correctly, they can work too – the only one I’ve ever read though, I think are yours -Ash, Sera and Brandt – and I liked it very much 😀 So, there’s my favorite trio.

    Can I state how much I hate it when I hate to name *one* favorite of anything?

    I don’t have one favorite couple or trio, but many. I’ll stick to naming just one, chosen at random from the long list of loved ones:
