BLAZE OF MEMORY
BERKLEY BOOKS
Out 3 November 2009
Nalini Singh returns to the Psy/Changeling world and its “breathtaking blend of passion, adventure, and the paranormal” as a woman without a past becomes the pawn of a man who controls her future…
Dev Santos discovers her unconscious and battered, with no memory of who she is. All she knows is that she’s dangerous. Charged with protecting his people’s most vulnerable secrets, Dev is duty-bound to eliminate all threats. It’s a task he’s never hesitated to complete…until he finds himself drawn to a woman who might yet prove the enemy’s most insidious weapon.
Stripped of her memories by a shadowy oppressor, and programmed to carry out cold-blooded murder, Katya Haas is fighting desperately for her sanity itself. Her only hope is Dev. But how can she expect to gain the trust of a man who could very well be her next target? For in this game, one must die…

Simi from the dark-hunter series, technically not a heroine yet, but she is supposed to be getting her own story at some point.. does that count?

Oh ack – ANY romance heroine? I love historicals – but I have to say I love my creature comforts even more. Thus I’m between Gracie Snow and Isabel Favor… I’m going to have to go with Isabel. *Even though* she has twins – can’t give up that gorgeous villa in Tuscany 😀
Also – I love Nalini’s books – I can’t wait to get my hands on Blaze of Memory!

Ugggg. So hard to decide. It would be a toss up between Kate Daniels or Elena Deveraux . They are both soooo kick ass! 🙂

Oh wow that’s a tough question XD!!! From the top of my head I’ll go with Freddie from Liz Carlyle’s ‘The Devil You Know’ and stop my answer there before I get carried away lol

I would love to Cat from Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress Series because she’s got Bones and since Chapter 32 in book 2 I want him too.LOL

Hi Lauren 🙂
That’s a hard question & I had to think about it for a few minutes.
🙂
I think I’d pick Anita Blake from the first three books.
🙂
All the best,

I’d be Holly Ashwin from Kresley Cole’s Dark Desires After Dark. She’s bad ass, smart and she snagged that got rage demon Cade Woede. 🙂

I’d probably like to be Mercy Thompson – she’s pretty kick a$$. Or maybe Sookie, ’cause, come on – ERIC!!!

I’d have to say Belle Jamison from Gena Showalter’s Playing With Fire because she has so many powers..lol
October 30th, 2009 at 11:55 am · Link
I’d be Stephanie Plum. Who wouldn’t want to be torn between Ranger and Morelli. She’s a lucky girl!
October 30th, 2009 at 12:09 pm · Link
That’s a hard one but i have to say I would love to be Ria from Mercury’s War by Lora Leigh!
October 30th, 2009 at 1:05 pm · Link
At first I thought Mercy, but then I thought about how much nasty stuff she goes through and decided I would not really be able to handle it. So – on to Stephanie Plum – not entirely a romance, but great romantic tension! 😎

I’d have to go with Riley Jensen, she can kick some butt!
October 30th, 2009 at 2:10 pm · Link
I would have to say Stephanie Plum. Two hot guys on her radar!
October 30th, 2009 at 2:22 pm · Link
I would choose to be Victoria in Colleen Gleason’s Gardella Vampire Chronicles. I’ve always wanted to be a kick ass heroine.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:21 pm · Link
I’d like to be Eve Dallas from J.D. Robb’s In Death series.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:32 pm · Link
Claire from Outlander. Nothing phazes her, and she gets Jamie! *drool*
Happy Halloween,
~bella

Hmmmm I would say Lt. Eve Dallas so I could snuggle up with Roarke from the JD Robb series, whewweee.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:47 pm · Link
I love Julie Garwood’s historicals so I choose Lady Johanna from Saving Grace: she has courage, determination and grace!
October 30th, 2009 at 4:24 pm · Link
I would have to pick Heather from The Undead Next Door, by Kerrelyn Sparks! Or, heck, maybe even Bella From Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight! 😀
October 30th, 2009 at 5:18 pm · Link
I’m gonna have to go with Claire Fraser….Scotland, time travel, and last but definitely not least JAMIE! Jamie is my fav romance hero, so I would have to be Claire (of course I would want to be the younger Claire from the beginning of the series though…heah I can wish can’t I)
October 30th, 2009 at 8:48 pm · Link
I like Eve Dallas from J.D. Robb’s series 🙂 Something so cool about her…and of course Roarke’s nothing to sneeze at!
October 30th, 2009 at 8:50 pm · Link
Silly, I know…but I’d like to be Stephanie Plum from Evanovich’s series. I know every book her house burns and her car explodes…but I love her family, her hamster…but am a bit more partial to Ranger than Morelli. 🙂 Always fun with a bit of mystery, kick butt, and romance
October 30th, 2009 at 9:26 pm · Link
I would have to choose Eve Dallas from the In Death series. She is a great character and she has Roarke.
October 31st, 2009 at 3:39 am · Link
I would have to pick Faith from Nalini Singh’s Visions of Heat, because Vaughn is one of my favorite characters. He’s yummy, she’s a very lucky girl.
October 31st, 2009 at 4:59 am · Link
Just one. Mmmm. Cat Crawfield in the Night Huntress Series is one of the many that hasn’t been mention who I would choose.
October 31st, 2009 at 11:19 am · Link
Hard to decide on just one but i’ll pick Sascha from your Slave to Sensation. She’s an alpha with the coolest powers!
October 31st, 2009 at 2:54 pm · Link
Eve Dallas…well because she kicks ass and she has Roarke.
November 1st, 2009 at 12:03 am · Link
it would be eve from nora robers death books
she is stroing and independant

There is no question in my mind. I’d love to be Stephanie Plum. I adore Stephanie with her personality and wit. Oh and yes, Ranger and Morelli would be a serious bonus.

This is a tough one. It actually took me forever to answer because I couldn’t decide! I think, right at this moment, I’d like to be Beth from The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie–maybe because I’ve got such a huge crush on him right now.
November 1st, 2009 at 8:50 pm · Link
This is a -really- hard question! From Nalini’s books I’d love to be Tamsyn as the whole earth mother thing works for me too. Otherwise, i think it has to be Mac from Karen Moning’s Fever series. Why? Because Mac totally kicks butt and gets to have Jericho Barrons (YUM!)

I would love to be Mercy Thompson from Patricia Briggs’ book series. Two hot werewolves fighting for my affection. I say why not. :]
