I am the most stalwart Laura Kinsale fan!!! I can't tell which title that is though...

This is the very first book from Laura Kinsale, The Hidden Heart, for the first time translated into Italian. In Italy there is only another book by her, Flowers from the Storm, a book I loved. Elisa

She is so awesome that if you can get any of her books you will not be sorry. I have to say I loved the Shadow and the Star, and The Prince of Midnight and they are keeper, read-again books. So is The Green Knight, (I think that's what it's called.) You cannot go wrong with any of her books.

Have you read Flowers from the storm? I like that love story, the heroine is very strong and the hero, wow, when he is inside his mind, and no one seems to understand him... very good.

Oh, yes. That was an amazing read. She takes on a hero who's brain isn't working properly, who cannot communicate and then... WOW! She's really a master. I've always felt she could write anything she wanted to, but that we were just lucky she chose romance. (Like Josh, it's kind of a gift...)

Yes, she is an amazing author, regardless the genre. Elisa

I'm just sad she doesn't write more... Maybe the new interest will generate some buzz and she'll go back to it.

I think to have read somewhere that she suffers from a writer block, but that she is preparing something. Elisa

Oh, I hope so, she had a young family too, and I think maybe she might have been sequencing? I tried to join her blog group, which was moderated but I never heard back. The last story, Allegretto's story, amazed me, because she took a character from one book who was absolutely conscienceless and redeemed him in the next. I would have to say not many writers could do that.

I read that book, but not the previous one, so Allegretto was a new character for me. :-)

I just checked, that one was called For My Lady's Heart. It was gorgeous. Not at all what one expects, but then, she never writes what you expect!
