What about you guys? Who were your favorite heroes of 2009?
Ween’s got a thing for men whose name starts w/J. S’all I’m saying.
I just noticed that, too! Convenient, then, that I have a “Jack” in SOMETHING ABOUT YOU. 😉
Thanks so much for the honors, ladies! Glad you liked J.D. and Jason!! This is particularly nice because I always think people are going to hate my heroes.

I loved Julie James’s heroes, particularly Jason. I also really liked Riley in Nalini Singh’s Branded by Fire.
I think you may be right, Kati. I’m okay with that. LOL.
