I agree with you Miz, but since you said the bedroom I'll go for the hollow room. I would definately have to try that out. I was going to say the pool area but those I have seen. Definately, the hollow room. I can't even imagine it.

I want to play in the pool! The holo room would be cool, too...
I agree with Miz too! I totally want to see the bedroom. I have a very definate image of the room and would love to see how my verison measures up.

Okay, I forgot about that pool!
I think it is Galahad's and he just lets Roarke and Eve use it.
I would also like to see the pool. One of my favorite scenes takes place there ;) Also, I wouldn't mind seeing the weapons room. That would be an interesting collection to check out.

That would be my husband's area. He told me a story when he was about 3 he was a party with his family and he was getting cranky so his father took him home and put him to bed (this was in the 30's). He said he was fine because he had his cap gun and could protect himself.
I would like to see the stuff from the middle ages, though. I might like to target shoot too.

I think my first pool-related scene was in Book 2 (I think) after Eve moves in, when Roarke has to go on a business trip, and Eve's like, "Summerset, I'm going to have a friend over. A very close PERSONAL friend..." and he totally thinks its some skeezy guy, but it's Mavis. And then hang out by the pool a bunch.Or maybe when all the girls are hanging out at the pool at the engagement party?
Or any scene involving the pool, Eve, Roarke, and no clothing. ;)
Mod
Roarke and Eve in the pool? Is there ever a bad scene?
Mod
Definitely the pool room. Unless of course Roarke is there then maybe the bedroom...then again, the pool room has seen plenty of action too.
I would love to try out the SHOWER
Mod
Yea the drying tube, along with an auto chef are definitely two of the items I wish existed currently. Never wash another towel and a machine that cooks my food on demand. Heaven!
Mod
Mmm.... from your messages I see that I'm not the only one who can't decide which room would love to see. I think it would be great if we could see the whole house, but since you asked only for one room, I think I would go with holo, too!
Oh so many good rooms to choose from. It's very hard to choose but I think I would go with Holo room too. I have anxiety issues so traveling places is usually out of the question but I would absolutely love to see so many places!!! If I could bring those places to me that would be epic :)
I'd be wherever Roarke is (preferably when Eve is hot on a case somewhere ver far away) ...
I think I'd want the solarium. Lots of sun, great views of the lovely grounds. And wine. lots of wine.

The Holo room first and then their bedroom
You are telling me? I think it's the version of bookworm heaven for every true bookworm, including myself, of course!!!! :)
Dee wrote: "The Holo room first and then their bedroom"I'm really curious about their bedroom; it must be huge!
I'd have to go with the pool. But some of the rooftop terraces come next.
Mod
Bedroom...but I'd like the bathroom too. I bet the tub is awesome and I'd love a drying tube.
I'm really an outdoors kind of woman and the thought of taking a walk on the private grounds, I bet there's a pond or lake with ducks and geese; as a private Central Park .

I remember reading a couple times they were taking a stroll outside on the grounds. the wording makes me think "a stroll in the park"
Mod
the roof top terrace where Eve seduced Roarke with the dinner..the bed that come out of the wall....gotta see that....Second would be the grounds where they got married and had their walks and intimate moments and where his mothers tree is planted.....

:) I guess I've always thought that Roarke's castle/grounds would all be with a bit of an Irish flair. Lush greenery, stone fences, babbling brooks, stone benches. I've fancied Donegal castle, but that's not quite it either.

THANK YOU!!! I've always had a hard time picturing the actual house itself for some reason -- this picture is perfect!
Personally, I'm like Christine -- the library with Roarke's coffee (and Roarke there too, maybe :) ? ) sounds like my kinda heaven. I always pictured it to look like the Biltmore mansion library (only less gaudy...)

Yep! Unfortunately I've never seen it in person, but I fell in love with it just from the brochures and pictures I've seen.

If I could see only one room in Roarks mansion, I would choose the holo room. I could use it to see the others, haha.
Mod
Can we find photos to add to the group that represent our ideas for how some of these rooms look?
