Err.. I dunno la. Judith McNaught's stuff would probably appeal more to the ladies for me. I just can't imagine my husband reading her. Heheh.

Her work are more to the romance novels. Not chic-lit stuff, but like, 1800ish England time (sorry, can't seem to think of the appropriate 'era' name). All about courting, romance etc. Heheh.

I have all of her "historical" works, though I've lost my copy of Whitney, My Love. Of all her "historical" works, I love Something Wonderful the most. I love Alexandra cos she's spunky and tomboyish. Her historical books are sometimes inter-related, with characters in one book appearing in another, which makes it rather fun to read.

I've a few of her "contemporary" work as well, "Night Whisper" and another title, but I can't remember which one it is, maybe it's "Double Standards", if not mistaken.

I like McNaught's work. Another feel good, literary comfort food, but this one is more on the fun, I-don't-really-have-to-think side. (Dan Brown is another feel-good read, but his work at least require some brainwork compared to McNaught.

Whitney is actually quite good as well. Have you read Until You? If you've read it, then there's a Whitney character in it, right? That's the same Whitney for Whitney, My Love and in that book, the hero is Stephen's brother, Clayton Westmoreland. biggrin.gif

it's a fun read actually -- no brainer, feel-good kind of romance novel.
