And this is probably why I love to read AND write connected stories, so I can peek in on characters I've loved:-)<br /><br />Hi Caroline! LOL, I will concur on the Breyers with hot fudge, but I'll pass on the nuts (allergic, ugh!). Good epilogues are just as yummy:-)<br /><br />Hi Louisa! Yay, another Wallflowers fan! St. Vincent definitely deserved a daughter, and I loved how he was with her. Of course, we didn't get to see the teen years, LOL...<br /><br />P.S. Anyone who tries to visit my website in the next 24 hours will find that it's down. I'm switching hosts, and it has turned out to be a bigger pain than anticipated. *sigh* The blog is always up, though:-)Kendra Leigh Castlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10254059079950439368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-32943839125373462652009-06-25T18:36:59.382-05:002009-06-25T18:36:59.382-05:00oh I LOVE an epilogue where we get to see the hero...oh I LOVE an epilogue where we get to see the hero turn to mush when he holds his child.

Well, maybe that’s a little too radical, but I do love them.<br /><br />Men and babies are like Breyers vanilla ice cream and hot fudge with mixed nuts. Just yummy!!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03643680606890422072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-4685247580177681902009-06-25T15:46:10.282-05:002009-06-25T15:46:10.282-05:00I have actually heard some romance readers say tha...I have actually heard some romance readers say that they hate epilogues, which I find absolutely baffling. I, too, like to see those I'm-not-capable-of-love men demonstrating just how truly capable they are! There is something so powerful about those big hands tenderly holding that fragile little piece of humanity. I also have to agree that I prefer to see characters in later books, checking up on them, seeing how they're doing, but an epilogue will do.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07843239483061220089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-65725343866824517322009-06-25T14:08:54.872-05:002009-06-25T14:08:54.872-05:00I love me some baby daddy, Kendra!!

To see those Big Strong Scottish Men turn to Mush and domesticated.

I think what appeals to readers like me is also that they show us that the love and commitment is lasting.Mo Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13644902211036445323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-64561664169386308982009-06-25T08:03:45.955-05:002009-06-25T08:03:45.955-05:00Morning, ladies!

Hi...Morning, ladies! And thanks again, Theresa:-)<br /><br />Hi Christine! Yes, I admit it, I'm a big mush too. Seeing them start a family is like closing the circle, and I love it. And you're right, the scenes the epilogues paint are a lovely escape because of the comfort and security they depict. Lots of people need that, and I never stop enjoying it!Kendra Leigh Castlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10254059079950439368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-61716918367420717892009-06-25T07:21:21.801-05:002009-06-25T07:21:21.801-05:00Love epilogues for the same reason as you do.

Call me mushy, but I grew up chewing on the old HQN Presents stories and I loved the pictures they painted for me about the possibility of having a normal, loving family. After all, romance is an escape for many, especially now.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05383099148014297450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-60455154365898992972009-06-25T06:51:05.509-05:002009-06-25T06:51:05.509-05:00Under labels I somehow ended up with NCAA men'...Under labels I somehow ended up with NCAA men's basketball!
