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.

QUOTE(lunalovegood @ Feb 27 2009, 10:14 AM) i read most of the historical too except for whitney, my love. even though i have to admit the plot is almost the same for every book, but i still cant help from picking it up.  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.
