Laura Kinsale

Laura Kinsale, Laura Kinsale. I just met an author named Laura Kinsale, and suddenly I see, how delicious a tortured hero can be...oh Laura, Ms. Kinsale! Say it loud and there's poetry flowing, say it soft and the sexual tension's growing...Laura Kinsale, Laura Kinsale, I'll never stop reading Laura Kinsale.

Please forgive my horrendous tardiness in discovering this legendary author. How could it have taken me this long to read Flowers From the Storm?

When did you discover La Laura?

The 1992 Fabio cover


The tasteful 2003 edition

  1. You have made me laugh out loud, I can feel your joy. I have the bottom cover edition. It's mesmerizing, yes?

  2. Oh yes, yes, yes. I just finished The Shadow and the Star. Now I've got to buy the rest of her backlist.

  3. Uh, now?

    Just kidding. I've heard of her before. Auto-buy?

  4. FFTS was THE historical romance that brought me back into the romance-reading fold as an adult. A friend recommended it, and it was a revelation.

    Jervaulx's torment ... Fabio's vacant smile - there's such a disconnect there, that cover always cracks me up!

  5. Absolute auto-buy, Lacey. But she hasn't published anything in awhile. I think she wrote a total of eleven books. I'm going to the store today to get the remaining nine that I haven't read. She's THAT amazing.

  12. Well, I admitted to loving the original cover when Eve showed it on her blog as an example of TACKY!

    I've never read this author but upon your recommendation, I shall!

  13. India, I didn't say it was "tacky," exactly - but once you read the book, I think you'll get what I mean. There's just nothing in that book that says, "carefree smiling dude with bouquet" - it's a pretty intense read.

    I totally understand your enthusiasm. Flowers from the Storm is my favourite romance novel ever! It's just incredible and I was blown away by the sensitivity of her writing. My first Kinsale book was actually Shadowheart, which is her latest published book, and once I read that I had to read every Kinsale book I could find. Can't wait for her next to come out!
