Girlie Girl Romance Heroines
Storm's Heart - Thea Harrison
Her Best Worst Mistake - Sarah Mayberry
Getting Lucky - Susan Andersen
The Chocolate Kiss - Laura Florand
Coyote's Mate - Lora Leigh
Undead and Unwed - MaryJanice Davidson
After the Kiss: The Stiletto Series - Lauren Layne
Here Kitty, Kitty! - Shelly Laurenston
Motorcycle Man - Kristen Ashley
Charmed - Beth Ciotta

While I am just this side of Tomboy myself, (my husband describes my style as pretty but sturdy), I appreciate a heroine who clearly invests some of her monthly budget in fashion magazines like so many women of the world do. 

 

I like quirks in my characters so I think a shoe fetish, clothes addiction, jewelry needs, and the compulsion to wax poetic about housewares are just as good of quirks as any others. 

 

I, of course, could have filled every slot on this list with Kristen Ashley's ladies and their shopping and long passages on hair alone.  I restrained myself.  I also left off some classics such as Minerva from Jennifer Cruise's Bet Me to make room for some other heroines and their lovely painted toes.

Mapcap Romance
The Bridesmaid - Julia London
Jinxed - Beth Ciotta
On the Scent - Angela Campbell
Charmed - Beth Ciotta
The Chocolate Thief - Laura Florand
The Deed - Lynsay Sands
Tall Dark and Cajun - Sandra Hill
Manhunting - Jennifer Crusie
Lady Be Good: A Novel - Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Noble Intentions - Katie MacAlister

After reading Julia London's The Bridesmaid I am on the look out for other Madcap Romances. These Romantic Comedies are the book form of the screwball romance made famous in film. In these love stories, the plot and people are  impulsive, reckless, or lively in a fun sort of way. Something is always happening. Things go a bit over the top. 

 

I would love your comments or votes. The Goodreads List is: Madcap Romance, if you want your recommendation to compete for best of the best.

Best Dirty Talker in Romance
Liberating Lacey - Anne Calhoun
Never Enough - Lauren Dane
Sheltered - Charlotte Stein
Sweet Dreams - Kristen Ashley
Hearts in Darkness - Laura Kaye
The Story Guy - Mary Ann Rivers
After Hours: (InterMix) - Cara McKenna
Play With Me - Kristen Proby
Big Boy - Ruthie Knox
The Chocolate Kiss - Laura Florand

They say that a woman's largest erogenous zone is her mind.  I would bet it is the same for men or at least it comes in second place.

 

Dirty talk is can add play to the sexy times or just intensity to fog the brain and let us settle into the body. 

 

There are a lot of great dirty talkers in romance. What makes a great dirty talker? Done wrong it just icks me out or makes me laugh. 

 

So, who is the best? 

 

Here are my TOP TEN (in no particular order because I can never pick a favorite) 

 

1. Philippe Lyonnais from The Chocolate Kiss--French Accent, Food talk, Enough. 

2. Caden Grayson from Hearts in Darkness--Tattooed Bad Boy, Pitch Dark, Elevator.

3. Gillian Forrester& Adrian Brown from Never Enough-- Best Dirty Talking Couple.

4. Tyler from Big Boy--Costume Play Magic, Mystery, Great Voice. 

5. Will Montgomery from Play with Me--Direct, Commanding, Sweet.

6. Tate from Sweet Dreams-- Gruff, Relentless, Explicit.

7. Van from Sheltered-- Tender and Filthy

8. Brian from The Story Guy-- Owns Phone Sex

9. Hunter Anderson from Liberating Lacey-- Frisk me. 

10. Kelly Robak from After Hours-- Simply Hot. 

 

 

I would love to hear who you wins the title  for The Best Dirty Talker in Romance. Please let me know in comments!
