@Marilyn: I just bought Lucy King's second book from the M&B website. It's called 'Propositioned by the Billionaire'. LOL! I remember when they were all millionaires in M&B romances.

I had the pleasure of reading both Kimberly and Lucy’s debuts and I’ve become such a sincere fan. Both women are incredible authors…..I’ve read everything Kimberly has written and look forward to reading more of Lucy’s.

Lynn — I’m with you on the “how does a lawyer become a tycoon?” question. It can happen, but pretty much only by the lawyer doing non-lawyery things. Gerald Levin, the CEO of Time-Warner, is a fellow alum of my law school — now *he’s* a tycoon! But not because he reviewed contracts and did due diligence for all that time.

Don’t get me wrong: some lawyers make pots of money (plaintiffs’ class action lawyers for example, although no one in her write-mind would cast such a lawyer as a hero) and a lot of us are not-poor. (Some of us are, though — it’s just as erroneous to think there are no poor lawyers as it is to think there are tycoon lawyers.)

Marie Fararella had a super-rich lawyer hero in one book, as I recall — but it sounded like he’d had a hand in building a company up from nothing, so again he was being a non-lawyer when he made a lot of that money.

If anyone’s interested, I would say most “rich” lawyers can afford a weekend house on the beach but probably not the private Gulf Stream IV with a private pilot waiting for the phone call to have the plane waiting for a quickie trip to Paris for dinner…

@Shelley Munro: I've added Natalie Anderson to my list. Thanks! @Kimmie: Yes! Although I haven't read any of the Carina titles yet. Are there any you'd particularly recommend?

Hey have you checked out Harlequin’s digital publisher Carina Press? They have some interesting new books out now. You can find them on http://www.booksonboard.com

I really like Natalie Anderson’s books. I’ve enjoyed every one that I’ve read. I also agree with the Kelly Hunter recommendation. they’re Sexy Sensations here in New Zealand too.

@Wendy: It is good! If you haven't already seen it, Lynne's review is more thorough than mine. We both gave it an 'A'. @Kimberly Lang: I've been using the M&B site to check out the Modern Heat books. Unless I've missed it, Harlequin Presents don't seem to differentiate between the regular line and the MH subset. Thanks for the link! I'll definitely check out that blog. @Liz: I'll look up Ally Blake. Thank you! @Keziah Hill: Sexy Sensation? LMAO! Great name. I'll be sure to check out Kelly Hunter's books. Thanks!

If you’re interested, you can find a list of all the current MH releases (US, UK, and Australia) at http://www.sensationalromance.blogspot.com/. You’ll find links there to all of the MH authors there as well.

We also have a Facebook page.

I have seen some good reviews of Ally Blake; sounds like she’s writing in a similar vein (i.e. close to a Blaze, funny, not tycoonish). I think by Jessica at RRR and Dear Author. I have one in my TBR.
