Today we are joined by our second Honey Bee blog tour guest, Rachel Leigh.
Welcome Rachel!
Who would you think of if someone asked you to name your favorite screen orliterary couple? Would it be Rhett & Scarlett, Elizabeth Bennett & Mr. Darcy,Lancelot & Guinevere? My favorite is none of the above as much as I love all theirstories and have read and re-read, watched and re-watched the adaptations ofGone With The Wind, Pride & Prejudice and The Legend of King Arthur over andover again.
As much as I love them, and it’s interesting that all my favorites are set in thepast, they don’t quite hit the romantic spot that puts my absolute favorite does.This is a couple I wish I’d created, a couple whose story I wish had come into myimagination fully-formed and ready to tell. It has everything.
My favorite on screen couple were the hero and heroine from a movie releasedin 1997. A movie that earned the actress and director an Oscar and at the time, Ithink topped all previous box office ticket sales for a single movie. Any guesses?
No? Drum roll please…
My favorite onscreen couple are Jack and Rose from Titanic. Played to perfectionby the beautiful Kate Winslet and gorgeously handsome Leonardo DiCaprio.
These two are the perfect romantic couple from their entirely differentbackgrounds, to the passion they can’t contain, the internal demons that hauntthem and their ultimate fight to be together. Titanic is an epic film in every sensebecause it has something for everyone, male or female, young or old.
As well-known as the setting for this romantic tale is, it is Jack and Rose whomake the movie. We are routing for them from the very first scenes, even beforethey come together and when the do meet…woo-hoo, sexual fireworks abound!
Great movie, great couple, great story – in fact, I’m going to put the DVD on rightnow, lol!
Rachel Leigh’s latest release is “Coming Back” which is available right now fromThe Wild Rose Press. Here is the blurb:
Kelly Hampton loved once...and lost. After two years of looking for Sean MacKenziein other men--and failing miserably--she takes a vow of celibacy. No sex until shefinds love. Then Sean strolls back into her bar, reigniting old flames. No one hascome close to understanding or satisfying her like he did. Her body burns for thepassion they once shared, but her heart still remembers the pain.
Sean escaped Jessop Hill and his father's fists in the middle of the night without aword--even to his love, Kelly--to protect his battered mother, but he never forgot theexplosively erotic relationship he left behind. Now his father is dead and Sean is backfor the only woman he's ever wanted. Their reunion is full of fire – but can sexualattraction and noble intentions overcome years of heartache or will Kelly walk awayto protect her heart this time.
