That just shows the reader how much more he's in love (though he usually doesn't figure it out for a while).<br /><br />Oh, and the Cinderella story?

And I love that Ana isn't initially all that impressed wtih Zach -- I love it when a hero has to work.<br /><br />Like a lot of others here, I'm partial to a reunion story. But I love fish out of water stories too, and who doesn't love a good Cinderella tale?<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by the Lovecats!Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-3615028244862606082011-04-17T14:49:25.520+10:002011-04-17T14:49:25.520+10:00Leah, I have a special place for reunion stories. ...Leah, I have a special place for reunion stories. I started dating hubby when I was 14. We broke up when I was 17 and got back together when I was 18. He immediately asked me to marry him and we've never been apart since! Love to see people who are meant to be reunited:)<br /><br />Kaelee, sounds like you have an addiction to a good book...as I do:)<br /><br />Sharon, thanks so much! Fun place to blog:) Zach is a playboy, but I made him a softy, too and very protective of his family which makes him all the more attractive;)<br /><br />Mel, instant chemistry makes me flip those pages even faster! I love that frantic build up!<br /><br />Nikki, I agree. I like a prohibited hook when it's done right and catches the reader off guard...in a good way:)Jules Bennetthttp://www.julesbennett.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-90588596124094917552011-04-17T14:09:31.354+10:002011-04-17T14:09:31.354+10:00*smoochus interruptus*!!

Have to be carefully done of course, to get past the PC police but that leaves a pretty broad scope....<br /><br />Lovely to have you here.Nikki Loganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895929864616916672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-40114111051454394212011-04-17T13:49:04.212+10:002011-04-17T13:49:04.212+10:00Hi Jules,

Zach sounds like a fabulous hero, sensitive when he needs to be - I do like that in a hero!<br /><br />I love lots of hooks - as long as the story sweeps me away I'm hooked! But I guess I do have a soft spot for reunion stories, or at least, a shared background. All that lovely history to untangle!<br /><br />Great to have you at the LoveCats!<br /><br />:)<br />SharonSharon Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836969154744451542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-79331242068413996122011-04-17T13:13:19.910+10:002011-04-17T13:13:19.910+10:00Great kiss.

Best hook is a favorite author's name on the cover or a totally unfamiliar name. I love debut novels which leads to more favorite authors and on and on.kaeleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17935892189792730767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-72354485687636598512011-04-17T12:48:21.951+10:002011-04-17T12:48:21.951+10:00Oooh, lovely!

Friends to lovers is always a good hook. I love seeing a big Alpha male fall in love;)<br /><br />Nas, I agree with you, too! If the story is well told, I'll take any hook! Of course, it all depends on my mood, too, as to what I'll read:)<br /><br />Rachel, sorry for the tease, but my hero is a playboy!

That book might be on shelves in the US, but we have to wait a couple more weeks till we can get it here and find out what happens next!<br /><br />Favourite hooks? I love most of them.
