I dont really have one favorite, it depends on my mood. But I love the ones where the leading man has a European accent, like Ireland. As for who I picture, its been everyone from Jude Law to Pierce Bronsan to Hugh Jackman. Depending again on the book and mood.

What a great contest! I wish I had found it before it was almost over. My favorite would be a tie between Wicked Ties by Shayla Black and Sweet Surrender by Maya Banks. I can't say that I picture a particular person while I am reading. He is always very tall, very muscular, dark hair, strong jaw, dark eyes. But it is not anyone that I have ever seen, just a figment of my imagination. *wishful lusting*
July 22, 2009 2:00 PMThanks!

Favorite romance and who would be the lead....
I just finished reading Decadent by Shayla Black (again for the bazillionth time....love it!) and how cool would it be for Clive Owen to by Luc and Gerard Butler could be Deke! Heaven!! LOL :)
Great Contest !!
July 22, 2009 2:20 PMMy favorite leading man is Cal Bonner from It Had to Be you by SEP. He's a great all-man guy, in control, loves his family and protects it, 1 word : PERFECT.
I don't picture anyone in my head though. His face is kind of blury but otherwise he's exactly as SEP describes him.

Hmmm another great giveaway. I'm excited!!! If I had to pick an absolute favorite romance novel it would have to be "Dangerous Lover" by Lisa Marie Rice. I could picture Eddie Cibrian playing the hero (even though he does not look like how rice describes her hero.)

I think my favorite Romance books are the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward. I can't pick just one because they are all HOT. My favorite is Zsadist and to play him would have to be Wentworth Miller.
July 22, 2009 3:01 PMWow! You have really outdone yourself this time. :)
July 22, 2009 3:01 PMI'm a follower.
Ok, a series I really enjoy is the Eve Dallas series by JD Robb/Nora Roberts. Mmmm... Roarke... But I don't picture any particular actor playing Roarke. I'm not sure I've seen a living male who looks as good as I picture Roarke, with icy blue eyes and his black hair touching his collar...
Wow another great contest.
July 22, 2009 3:02 PMOne of my favorite books is "Chains" by Shiloh Walker. There is three main heroes in the book but I can't really see anyone playing them.

July 22, 2009 3:14 PMI'm with Cindy - I would want to be Eve from the In Death series by JD Robb. To be able to be with Rourke...Oh yea! Who would play Rourke - I love Hugh Jackman and I guess he comes close to what I picture.

Hello,
July 22, 2009 4:12 PMI'm not one to pick one specific book that is my favorite. I like certain authors for certain genres or their writing style. Such as Linda Warren for her cowboys, Rita Herron for her suspense books, Anna Campbell for her historicals, and Rona Sharon for combining suspense, historicals, and paranormals.

Another great contest! :D
July 22, 2009 4:48 PM+1 Ah, it's too hard to try and pick just ONE favorite! I refuse! LOL. But I really enjoyed Outlander, and my choice for playing Jamie would be... Ah, I know his name, but I can't think of it! (curses)... maybe it will come to me later! I've tried and I've tried, and the name eludes me.. I haven't seen him in a movie for a while, so it's kind of 'Out of sigh, out of mind', right?

+1 It's hard to pic one favorite but I'd say it's The Taming by Jude Deveraux and I've read it a couple of times. The leading man would have to be Matthew McConaughey

What a great way to end such a fab contest! My fav romance of all time has to be Mouth to Mouth by Erin McCarthy. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book from beginning to end. It's one of the few that I have actually read more than once.
July 22, 2009 6:21 PMAnd since Gerard Butler is currently my fav leading man he would make a great hero of this book who is a detective. Love him too :)

My favorite romance book (or series ) is the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. I can't decide who would be a good actor for Jaime Fraser....I think it would have to be an unknown - but I always picture him as tall and lanky with long auburn hair pulled back with a piece of leather.
M
Any book by Lora Leigh. I always imagine the heroes as Matthew McCaughney or Keanu Reeves.
July 22, 2009 9:43 PMAnother great contest! Well, let's see here. I would have to say my favorite romance novel of all time would be "Night Play" by Sherrilyn Kenyon, part of her Dark-Hunter series. And the person I picture when reading romance novels? Usually the cover model, and more often than not, it's NK, he's on so many covers, it's hard not to! +1

Hi BOOK JUNKIE,
July 23, 2009 5:33 AMI need to make a big round so I'll cut right to the chase and say I've given you some award love:
I've given you an award(s) click ~here~ to receive it.
Swift Antelope in the new Comanche Heart novel by Catherine Anderson. Answer to the question, a man from my young life. Part Indian, rode a motercycle and I had a crush on him like nobody's business. He worked construction jobs so was really built, had a dark tan, a really nice white smile and a dimple in his cheek, and green eyes. I was so smitten back then. That is who I see as Swift Antelope. I am a follower as dancealert, and can post a notice on my wall on facebook. Thanks!
July 23, 2009 6:17 AMBrenda
Pride and Prejudice is my absolute favorite. I actually imagined Pierce Brosnan the first time I read it and I don't even like him. I like all Lisa Kleypas romances, almost all and I mostly imagine George Clooney.

Oh, and I'm a follower.
Awesome giveaway and great question! Well, first of all I have to say I am an Outlander/Jamie fan. It is a series I have returned to over and over. Casting? Hmmm. I'm thinking Clive Owen.
July 29, 2009 12:18 AMThat said, since so many others have picked Jamie, I will also point out Joscelin from the Kushiel's Dart trilogy. What a hunky, intrepid man! Yummy! Casting -- I think Val Kilmer.

Though not a traditional romance novel, I have to say The Vampire Armand by Anne Rice. There was just enough romance between the two male lead characters. It was perfect. :D

July 31, 2009 1:13 PMMy fav would have to be the entire Dark-Hunter series. As for the the actor to play Acheron... well what man could play a god like that?
July 31, 2009 2:58 PMDidn't want to miss out on the fun...AWESOME books!!!
July 31, 2009 4:27 PMI think Brad Pitt would do an excellent Cal from Jennifer Crusie's "Bet Me" He has that funny humor and smile to just pull off the role without seeming contrived. :D
