Could there be a better way to start the New Year than a blog hop with an overwhelmingly impressive group of erotic writers. What the heck am I doing here? Well, it looks like I’m moving into new territory, and some of my people are going to be a bit naughty. Gabriel, brother to Mykhael from My Killer My Love is going to get an opportunity to redeem himself after he got involved with the wrong group and tried to destroy Kendra’s home. The Atrahasis send him to live among humans, with his powers suppressed, until he learns humility. That might take a while. Especially since he’s having these strange dreams about being with a woman he’s never met…
Problem is, I’m still struggling to name my female lead. She’s bright, full figured, intensely loyal to her friends and a bit lonely since she dumped her fiance after one too many cracks about her needing to look more like the women he’d like to have around. So not happening, bozo. She’s house sitting for a friend while she gets her life together, but she’s having the strangest, hottest dreams about a man she’s never met…
Gwynny
As you can see, I need a very special name for this extremely special woman. So I’m asking for some help. Anyone who
comments with a name, I’ll put your name in a bowl, and Gwynny will tear herself away from her Kindle long enough to choose one of the papers in the bowl. The random choice will win this manic lady pin…and if I use your name in Gabriel’s story, you’ll get naming credit. How does that sound? And yes, I can mail it to you no matter where you live!
There are also three fabulous prizes from Jennifer and Lisabet, including a $60 gift certificate to Eden’s Fantasy
and two other lucky winners will receive a $25.00 gift certificate to their choice of the following book sites: Amazon, All Romance eBooks, Barnes & Noble, or Total-E-Bound. So be sure to visit all the amazing blogs listed below. Each one will have a prize for you to win.

I’d like to help, but if it’s a name I really, really like I’m keeping it for my heroines! Selfish? Yes, indeedy–especially because I go through 10-12 names for each character before I can settle on one. The story sounds delicious though. Oh, don’t do Miriam. Jane is very nice–that fits. Hmmm (shut UP, Meredith)

Hi Mona,
I actually find thinking up women’s names easier than finding a hero’s name. In high school, I knew a girl who was full figured and very sweet. Her name was Joelle, Elle or Ellie for short. When you described your heroine, I thought of Joelle. I certainly hope your heroine meets the man in her dream 🙂

I think a common name with a little different spelling is always kind of cool. My daughters name is Paytyn. Not sure why I like different spellings but I do. It makes things interesting. A couple other suggestions are Shannon(ya gotta love that name, lol) or Lexis, Renata, Rylan. Just a couple suggestions. I like Jane too, but I would spell it Jayn or Jayne or even Jaine.

In My Killer My Love, the hero is Mykhael. When he tries to pass himself off as human, he pronounces it Michael, and is called Mike by the townspeople. He had trouble influencing Kendra’s mind so she heard it right the first time. Poor Gabriel, while he’s working with the humans they call him “Gabe” and he’s really not amused.

The unnamed heroine sounds like a great character! Maybe Elizabeth? There are so many nickname options–for example, I’m imagining horrible fiance insisting on calling poor Beth ‘Liz’ in his attempt to remake her.

I like the name Grace, it’s my daughter’s middle name, and it isn’t so common anymore. Nice change from all the names we are inundated with.

I love the name Grace, with the nickname Gracie…I would have named my daughter that, but her Grandma was partial to the nickname Katie, so thus my daughter became Catherine Grace.
