Laura Kaye curates a bookshelf of 5 romances

Today we kick off a new monthly feature for HEA in partnership with New York bookstore Posman Books. Stacey Agdern — you know her from the Dispatches from the TBR Pile posts she does every month for HEA — works for Posman, a three-store chain of family-owned independent bookstores in the Big Apple. Lots of romance authors visit Posman Books, one of whom was Laura Kaye, whose new release is Hard As It Gets, earlier this week. To celebrate Laura's visit, Stacey asked her to curate a bookshelf at the store of five romances, and then Stacey shared the list with me.

I love this idea so much that I've agreed to share other romance authors' curated shelves for Posman Books on the first Friday of every month.

So here are the titles that Laura Kaye chose for her bookshelf and why:

Lover Awakened by J.R. Ward

The incredibly tortured hero, wonderful romantic chemistry and angst, and amazing redemption of the hero make this my absolute favorite romance!

Lover Eternal by J.R. Ward

The BDB's sexiest vampire is also a dragon shifter, and watching him come to terms with his curse as he finds the love of someone who accepts the real him is amazing!

Seduction of a Highland Lass by Maya Banks

The series that got me hooked on Scottish Highlander romance! Amazing forbidden love story and heart-wrenching black moment!

Never Love a Highlander by Maya Banks

Great, strong heroine paired with a total Alpha warrior makes for incredible conflict and sexual tension!

The Sinner by Margaret Mallory

A sexy and adventurous Scottish Highlander romance with one of the most likable and appealing heroes you'll ever read.

Other titles on Laura's list:

Dance with the Devil by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Blue-Eyed Devil by Lisa Kleypas

Wait for You by J. Lynn

To Sin With a Viking by Michelle Willingham

She's Gone Country by Jane Porter
