Next we have the awesome…
Katharine Ashe!
The American Library Association’s Booklist named Katharine Ashe among its “New Stars of Historical Romance.” She is a two-time nominee in the Reviewers’ Choice Best Book Awards, and her novella, A Lady’s Wish, launched Harper Collins Publishers’ e-book imprint, Avon Impulse, to rave reviews.
Katharine lives in the wonderfully warm Southeast with her husband, son, two dogs, and a garden she likes to call romantic rather than unkempt. A professor of European history, she has made her home in California, Italy, France, and the northern US. She loves hearing from readers!
Katharine’s latest release is WHEN A SCOT LOVES A LADY:
London gossips are asking: What use has society of an exclusive gentleman’s club if no gentlemen are ever seen to pass through its door?
After years as an agent of the secret Falcon Club, Lord Leam Blackwood knows it’s time to return home to Scotland. One temptation threatens his plans—Kitty Savege. The scandal-plagued lady warms his blood like a dram of fine whiskey. But a dangerous enemy stands in the way of desire, and to beat this foe Leam needs Kitty’s help…
Kitty never wanted to spend her holidays in a wretched country village! With snow up to the windows, escape is nowhere in sight. A roguish Scottish lord, however, is. His rough brogue sends tingles of heat from Kitty’s frigid toes to her chilled nose, but she’s confident she can withstand that. What she cannot control is the reaction of her carefully guarded heart when she discovers this beast is, in fact, no beast at all…
“A lushly intense romance… Throw in a mystery, a twisty, complex denouement, and radiant prose, and readers will be saddened to read the final page. Jubilation; it’s the first in a series.”
— Bette-Lee Fox, Library Journal, starred review

I think it would be amazing to have a man with an accent. Especially if he whispered romantic gestures in the other language. I am not sure which accent I like best, but I would need to be able to understand what he is saying in English! I do love an Italian accent!

My husband speaks English and Spanish but he doesn’t have an accent (in English anyway) but listening to him coo to me in Spanish is definitely hot. ;). If not my hubby I guess an Australian accent is my favorite.

I love accents from men of New Zealand, Scotland and also loved the Northern accent of Richard Armitage in North & South.
But beautiful eyes and deep, warm voices are also nice and very sexy 🙂

YES! I love accents. Most audiobooks I listen to are accented in some way. I love most of the British accents – including colonial and some that the British themselves don’t like. I like Scottish and Irish brogues as well. There are so many accents that I would listen to even if they were just reading the phone book to me!

I love accents…as long as they’re not so thick that I can’t understand what is being said…however I always wonder what they think of our accents since we are the ones that sound funny to them.

It would be Italian, French, Scottish, Irish, English, and Australian accents. I could listen to them all day…(sigh).
