Lady D will like to ask a good romance where hero hurt heroine badly and now she wants revenge

have read so many books where heroine just forgive them or take them back but for a change would like to see heroine wants payback

How about Flawless? The hero spurned and laughed at the young ugly duckling heroine, so she went as far as to have plastic surgery and become a model just to seduce him and then laugh in his face. I'll check my revenge shelf for some more.

No problem. I love the revenge theme myself. I'd like to see more where the heroine is the one out for blood.

Lady D,same here,love my heroines who are head strong and independent with motive don't mess with me and if you mess be prepared for Payback

Not that many in this line though, huh?

Here's what I'm in the mood for:
heroines who were abused somehow (father or husband) and the hero helps them get over it.

Any suggestions?

re:Booklover
My favorite revenge theme HP is Sally Wentworth I have a couple of others on my revenge shelf.

Perhaps The Greek Tycoon's Reluctant Bride (Greek Husbands) might interest you.

In Maid To Measure the hero merely insults and bruises the heroine's ego but her revenge is pretty funny.

Anne Hampson - A rose for Lucifer

Perhaps Don't Play Games by Emma Darcy. I really like the older ones and this one gets me every time.

Not exactly fitting to specifications but you may want to check out For the Sheikh's Pleasure . The heroine is abused, but not by father or former husband. (Note I haven't read it so don't know how good it is although I tend to like Annie West books.)

Revenge. Hero used to date heroine's step-sista & ridiculed heroine's disfigured face. She married a nice dude, ended up having plastic surgery after a fatal car crash that killed her mum & hubby. Meets hero again who doesn't recognize her new look. Sorta Cinderella like.

i checked yours!!...two i havent read!! will try them next :)

By coincidence, the Harlequin Blaze I started last night involves a heroine with amnesia --
Into His Private Domain. So far, it's enjoyable.

Hmm I like HPs with loads of angst where the hero tends to be a self-righteous ass while the heroine is really strong and doesn't take shit from the hero. I know there are loads out there, but I'm scared that I'll pick up a bad one:( The heroine can't be a socialite, I just can't stand it and the hero has to just be do crazy about the heroine though he doesn't know why.

Umm I tend to like Lynne Graham, esp the heroes. :P blackmail, mistress, these sort of themes do appeal to me, and I like the heroes to be Italian/Greek, etc. Oh i love verbal battles between the characters too!

Oh but I don't like pregnancies in books. It's ok if it's at the end, but I don't like it as part of the storyline generally. Or rather, I don't like it to be the reason why they reunite.

A favorite that comes to mind is Tempestuous Reunion by LG. Or Bond of Hatred by LG. His Mistress For A Million by Trish Morey is another favorite of mine!

Any recs? Heh thanks!

Flame, you might enjoy Abby Green, Sarah Morgan, or Annie West.

Ok thanks, I'll be sure to check them out! I have a few of Annie West I think!

YW!

Are there any similar books to The Price of Honor
by Emilie Rose? Basically with a pregnant heroine in which the hero isnt going to marry for various reasons or as I also like to refer to them as "Good Enough to Bed but not to Wed?"

I just added The Price of Honor to my TBR pile...it sounded really good.

Rachel wrote: "Are there any similar books to The Price of Honor

And one where she's pregnant and she doesn't want to marry him? LOL

This is one of my favourite of all time!
For Pleasure...or Marriage?.

Hi. I'm in the mood for some good HP. Do you have any recommendations? I like MOCs, secret sons, greek heroes (i.e. the usual LOL!)

The only things I cannot stand are: doormat heroines and abusive heroes (rape, manhandling, cruel).
I'd like some heroines with a backbone! Charlotte Lamb doesn't work for me :(

Here's some title I loved:

Torn Asunder
Red Hot Renegade
Wife for a Week
Smoke in the Wind
Bedside Manners
For Pleasure...or Marriage?
Diamond Girl
Husband for Real
Shackled by Diamonds

I bow to your superior skills to have some good titles! Thanks a lot :)

Hi Mareli
I'm quite new to the world of HP but have read many Greek tycoon stories. Sarah Morgan's Doukakis' Apprentice is a good read and it won the RITA Award 2012.
Also same author Bought:The Greek's Innocent Virgin.
Abbey Green - Ruthless Greek Boss, Secretary Mistress.
Check them out as everyone's different but I enjoyed these.
Good luck.

Hi Mareli
I just remembered another one of my favourites, secret son, is The Forbidden Ferrara by Sarah Morgan. Great read and the hero, Santo , is HOT HOT HOT!

Thanks for your recommendations! I'm putting them on my TBR list right now! :) I'll let you know about all those Greek men LOL

Hello ladies, I think I am in the mood for a really good Sara Craven read? Any recommends?
