I also blogged about the contest here:<br /><br />http://writekris.blogspot.com/2011/02/books-in-love.html<br /><br /><br /><br />PARANORMALCY<br />I love Evie and Lend. You can tell that Evie's attracted to Lend from the beginning, and you watch them go through the awkward "I love him/her but don't know what to do" phase. You want to see something happen; at the same time, you like watching their relationship progress until they finally reach the stage where they're comfortable with kissing (and think it's amazing). First kiss scenes are important, and Kiersten White doesn't disappoint us. Plus, I love Evie's (Kiersten's) voice. <br /><br />Evie and Lend are two teenagers trying to be normal when their abilities make them far from normal, yet they still find time to be normal teenagers from hanging out at Lend' school to chilling with his friends over pizza. Not to mention that Lend can take on any hot face (player potential, as Evie thinks at one point). Best of all, it's sweet how Evie loves his real face the most, and he finds in her someone who accepts him for who he is, not for the face he wears.<br /><br />They're adorable. Period.<br /><br /><br />THE IRON KING<br />I love Ash and Meghan for the forbidden romance and faerie adventures. Faerie books are very popular nowadays with the paranormal romance craze, but Julie Kagawa spins a fantastical story with the addition of iron faeries. The human imagination sure has brought us far, hasn't it?<br /><br />Back to the story: Ash is after Meghan under the order of his mother to bring her to the Unseelie Court. Despite knowing this, she can't help falling in love with him. He has a duty as a prince and should not fall in love with her, but his icy demeanor warms. The romance while they're in the Iron King's territory is especially sweet because of the danger they're in. There's nothing like a life-threatening situation to heighten the romantic tension!<br /><br />You want Meghan and Ash to solve the issue of them being the children of monarchs on opposing thrones and see them together. You want Meghan to find her brother; at the same time, you don't want her to do so because it means that Ash must take Meghan to his mother (and not for a "Mom, I love her. I want to be together with her for eternity" type of meeting!).<br /><br />Meghan is a normal girl thrown into a very different world, and she's trying to find her brother while struggling with her growing feelings for Ash. Ash is the hot, sexy lead guy AND Meghan's (almost literal) knight in shining armor. He's sweet, and their story is heart wrenching because, despite the romantic moments between them, we cannot help remembering that their time together is numbered.Kris @Imaginary Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550965344184687023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202274659436317634.post-38041208207825936702011-02-15T01:23:46.116-05:002011-02-15T01:23:46.116-05:00My favorite of all is Rose and Dimitri I fell in l...My favorite of all is Rose and Dimitri I fell in love with Vampire Academy from the start.
