Sorry I'm late to say hi!<br /><br />I like love triangles, as long as the theme is handled well by the author. If the relationship results in one of the characters involved in the love triangle does not factor into the HEA then the 'odd man/woman out' is either a less than likeable character who the reader doesn't feel deserves to be part of menage / long term situation, or, the third person is very likeable and becomes one of the protagonists in a sequel, in other words - there is another HEA in the cards. <br /><br />Great post Beth and TTT is an excellent anthology. <br /><br />Thanks!Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11521584458356470972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-60525438254251471992011-05-07T21:56:30.814-07:002011-05-07T21:56:30.814-07:00My favorite is Stephanie Plum's triangle with ...My favorite is Stephanie Plum's triangle with Ranger and Joe<br />lisa gk at yahoo dot comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-63529834428016425242011-05-06T09:29:54.956-07:002011-05-06T09:29:54.956-07:00Hey all!

It's the trio of friction that makes it interesting. My story for the Three to Tango anthology is actually a m/f romance. The fun thing about the anthology is that the authors were really creative with the theme. <br /><br />Hi LB--a classic! <br /><br />Hi Tracy, Jess and Jane--I'm with you on that, to be honest. I actually like when there's a clear cut delineation...when I know the real thing is between two people. I'm sort of old fashioned that way.<br /><br />Artemis--Lorelei is very talented, I agree.<br /><br />Chris and Izzy--Philadelphia Story and Jane Eyre--great triangle choices! <br /><br />Chelsea B--it doesn't sound bad, completely normal, given you're a girl!beth keryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01494046728544948697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-54520718221803815992011-05-06T09:26:42.834-07:002011-05-06T09:26:42.834-07:00Congrats on your latest release!

I know it sounds bad, but the guy being torn between... it just makes him seem flakey in my eyes. Haha! I know. Makes no sense ;-) But I am a girl... so I guess it makes a little sense. I mean, what girl doesn't want two guys totally gaga over her? :-)<br />I recently watched How Do You Know (loved!) and it was triangle-y. I also really liked The Philadelphia Story-- I honestly, for a while at least, had no idea who she would get that! Which is rare. You usually at least have an idea :-)Chelsea B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-7481700771780985632011-05-05T15:07:50.260-07:002011-05-05T15:07:50.260-07:00Congrats on the upcoming release, Beth.

I've read a couple of historicals where they worked for me because it was OBVIOUS that one man was front and center in the heroines mind. I think I'm just more of a traditional romantic and want a clear choice made. <br /><br />Menages are ok for fun but only for a night or so.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320961506471746567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-68857586532109634002011-05-05T06:14:11.803-07:002011-05-05T06:14:11.803-07:00*passes mug o' coffee to LB*

Lovely to have you back on the Island.<br /><br />I think my favorite is so predictable, but Stephanie, Ranger, Joe are worth following--and I think if they'd just chuck Trenton to the wind and move to their own Desert Island, their story would really pick up.<br /><br />Of course, I'd love to see a Ranger/Morelli m/m novel, but perhaps that's just me?<br /><br />:)<br /><br />LBlbgregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00035654172170063636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-671622337332662362011-05-05T05:58:13.291-07:002011-05-05T05:58:13.291-07:00Oops.
