Oh but it's worth every word. Eventhough, around halfway, you'll hate me for making you read it. Not because it gets boring but because of the agony!
Another agony (or shall I say: ahgony) is the fact that I'm still waiting for LUnl! Shocking!

Now You've made me want to read it even more! I love authors that "torture" their heros (don't know what that says about me?)

And what is up with the lateness of your book? I mean really, You were 1st to get yours last year. I noticed today that orders were starting to show up in others peoples mail boxes, sorry Mel!

I love this list. For some reason, maybe I'm a freak, but I love a good physically or mentally damaged hero who overcomes the odds! It makes the romance so much more of a challenge. I love a good challenge. I added "The Madness of Lord ian Mackenzie" to the list. This one deals with autism/Asperger's syndrome before it was understood. Amazing book.

Great list! May I also recommend Zane's Redemption (Scanguard vampires series by Tina Folsom) and also oldie but goodie - Angelique series by Anna and Sergue Golon. It is a historic romance set in France at the time of Luis XIV and the main character, Count Joffre de Peirac, is not only heavily scarred but also lame(but only in physical sence).

Happy to contribute, specially the Angelique. The series was extremely popular in 1960-70, maybe more in Europe then in America, to the extent that 5 of the books were made in to movies - I know that it will show my true age, but there are several generations of women who were totally in love with Le Count, your's truely included:)

I used to love the Angelique series on television as a teenager and simply devoured the Angelique books which I borrowed from the library later on.

I couldn't agree more when you said "I know that it will show my true age, but there are several generations of women who were totally in love with Le Count". So true... :-)

I just posted "The Land of the Beautiful Dead", an incredible book (and very long, about 700+ pages) by R. Lee Smith. But I felt I had to put in a warning about this book as well.
It's DARK! And it's very violent, and gory! It's post-apocalyptic, with kind of a zombie theme going on. Lots of disturbing bits! Lots of vulgarity!
The Hero in this story is also (surprisingly) the villain! (I picture the Lich King) But if you're looking for scarred, disfigured, and tormented then he'd be the poster boy for this thread! Not an attractive one though.
But it was beautiful! The ending was beautiful! And all the ugly horrifying parts of it just made it more so.
