Hottie Crew Member of the Week – Gypsies
Time to celebrate! Okay, it’s a week early to celebrate this particular happening, but who cares. Pirates can celebrate whenever they want. So there.
The next release from Lisa Kleypas hits shelves on the 30th of this month. The follow-up to Mine Till Midnight gives us the story of Merripen and Win in Seduce Me At Sunrise. One of the best things about these two books – other than the awesome talent that is Lisa Kleypas – is that the heroes are gypsies. Okay, Cam in Mine Till Midnight is only half gypsy, but that’s enough for me. He wears a thumb ring he does some lovely things with – if ya know what I mean – and even has the earring. We won’t even mention the thick dark hair and incredibly intense eyes. *drifts off to dream land*
Where was I? Oh yes, gypsies. The hero of Seduce Me At Sunrise is Merripen. He’s been with the Hathaway family since childhood and as we learn in Mine Till Midnight, in love with Win Hathaway for likely all his life. So in celebration and just because this is a freaking hot picture, we pay tribute to the hotness that is a gypsy man.
If you haven’t read Mine Till Midnight, you have a week to get it done. And trust me when I say, Seduce Me At Sunrise will be much better if you’ve read Midnight. The story of these two lovers really starts there.

Oh, I DO love this picture!
Gypsies. The heroine in my next book is a descendent of gypsies.

See how multi-talented this lad is! He can pull off a pirate AND a gypsy!
I can’t believe Seduce Me At Sunrise is already to be released! I swear, I can’t keep up!

Best part is… Depp actually played a Gypsy in a movie… with Christina Ricci, during WWII I think (The Man Who Cried)… It was a very good movie.
Come to think of it, wasn’t he the gypsy in Chocolat?

Marn – Can’t wait to read about your new heroine. She’s sound very exotic and that should be so fun in a Regency.
Santa – Don’t worry, hon. The ladies over on the board will always be there to remind us of these things.
Tiff – I haven’t seen the Man Who Cried but you’re right, he was a gypsy in Chocolat. Gah! I love him in that movie!!!

The release of anything by Lisa Kleypas is cause for celebration, and I share your enthusiasm for Merripen.
Nicholas Davies, the hero of MJP’s Thunder and Roses, is another swoon-worthy gypsy (actually half-gypsy)hero.

Janga – I read that book. Though it many years ago. I’d forgotten about the gypsy part. And some other great books centered around gypsies are the old Shirlee Busbee books. Those might be hard to find but they are so worth it!
