You and Gamistress66 make a great point: it's al about the characters and storytelling. While I lean toward certain settings and time periods b/c they imply a certain *type* of story, what really matters is great characters and a great story. But historcials hold my heart. <br /><br />Both ends of the spectrum of social confinement have the own special allure. as Jane adn StacieDM made clear in their comments. <br /><br /><br />Jane~ There *is* something very potent about the forbidden, isn't there? And in the Regency era, there were so many forbiddens. A brush of the fingers can have such consequences, it can be so powerful in its restraint.<br /><br />But StacieDM, I think you and I feel the same way, about those less civilized times. :) When you know *anything* can happen, there's a tension in the story that can be incredibly gripping. And yes, you have heroes who might be required to sacrifice all--including their lives--to protect their woman. There's something so arresting about that.<br /><br /> <br />Anji~ LOL. You and I are a lot alike. There's something that makes the 'fantasy' easier when it takes place in a remote time or place. You're not being jarred by elements of the 'now'. <br /><br />June M~ Ohh, I hope you love this one, but... it's not set in Ireland. :) THE IRISH WARRIOR, my previous release, is set in Ireland though, if that interests you. This one is set in England, right before Magna Carta.<br /> <br />Gjillian~ Ooohh, a foggy Victorian London. Yes! Such a vivid image from such simple words. :)<br /><br />Sherie L~ I'm so glad the book sounds great. Thank-you!http://kriskennedy.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08341143449583496148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-57243837402441486062011-05-06T21:46:04.694-04:002011-05-06T21:46:04.694-04:00Hi Kris!

Congratulations on all your su...Hi, Kris, welcome! Congratulations on all your success. I think you've nailed what makes a story romantic for me. When two people are brought together at odds, but with much the same goals, and they are forced to work together, this sets up an ideal romance loaded with sexual tension. While it's a great deal of work for the author, it's so much for for the reader; would you agree?Donnell Ann Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07943037206984648849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-66825352936903147322011-05-06T12:40:04.615-04:002011-05-06T12:40:04.615-04:00Oh, no!

I like to mix up my reading so I have no particular preference for time period/back ground for a story, rather I think it's the character interaction and the plotting/storytelling that make for a great romance.gamistress66https://www.blogger.com/profile/15832851155052440683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-78291514619304828712011-05-06T08:20:45.606-04:002011-05-06T08:20:45.606-04:00Hello Kris!

Congratulations on your new release!<br /><br />I prefer less civilized settings for romance stories. I like elements of danger in my romances because I think it speeds up the feelings between the couple. When the setting is the Old West or Medieval times there is danger at every turn. It also brings out the protective instincts in the hero which I love.StacieDMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-45826211640908875482011-05-06T01:19:30.433-04:002011-05-06T01:19:30.433-04:00Congrats on the new release, Kris.

It's not just because everyone is dressed to the nines, but they are so many non verbal flirtations which might include a flicker of the fan or a sideways look.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13040629694490652973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-37398253554642457342011-05-06T00:44:02.235-04:002011-05-06T00:44:02.235-04:00Hi Kris!

Thank you so much for visiting us at GLIAS today :) It was such fun getting to know you better.<br /><br />You know I'm right there with you, being a mom on a deadline. It would be a great luxury to get to read more, wouldn't it?<br /><br />I think the great elements of romance for me are more the characters and plot, versus the backdrop. You give me a tough, strong but silent, still-waters-run-deep kind of hero in any (historical) backdrop and I'm all over it!<br /><br />Have a fabulous weekend, and a LOVELY Mother's DayHeather Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00711640649711338968noreply@blogger.com
