Stacy,

Thanks for the great reviews. Guess i will move these up on my TBR list. Can’t wait to read them.

Both of these books sound interesting, and I can see where the whole amnesia plot has been used and well honestly abused often. Usually I avoid these stories since i have read some that hardly held my interest but these both sound a bit different so thanks.

Stacey – so well put. I’ve read and loved both of these books for many of the reasons you’ve shared. Both Ms. Putney and Ms. Liu take a time tested plot device and make it fresh and exciting. In each book I loved the journey that each character takes to find their way back – or perhaps through – to become whole again.

And Stacy (Stacy with out an e) Loving a Lost Lord is the first book in this new series by Ms. Putney – so if you want to try Ms. Putney I’d say start here.( of course The Rake is a classic and a must read). As for Ms. Liu – the Dirk and Steele series is a long standing series – and I would of course start with the first book – Tiger Eye.

It’s nice to see amnesia used in a non-cliched way…and in a paranormal, too. After the PREGNESIA disaster at Harlequin this month, I’d thought we’d seen it all.

These both sound like thoughtful, intelligent tales. Wonderful!

Thanks, Stacy.

Stacey – you’ve really made me look at how an author can take a plot device and use it to completely different outcomes.

Makes me wonder – if I wiped out my past – what future would I create – and if I’d choose the same paths all over again.

Terrific blog, Stacey! I’m a longtime Putney fan and cannot wait to read LOVING A LOST LORD. I’ve really missed her historicals.

I haven’t read Liu yet. There just never seems to be enough time to get to all the wonderful authors out there that I’d like to read.

Wonderful post, Stacey. I’ve not read anything by either of this authors, but I’m intrigued by both. Amnesia is such a convenient plot device at times, because it creates all kinds of scenarios and roads to take. I’m really interested in Liu’s take on it, where the heroine doesn’t get her memory back. Can you imagine?

So Stacey, if I were to pick up a book by each of these authors, which would you suggest? Keep in mind I like starting at the beginning of a series. Thanx
