I used to read a lot of historical romance novels when I was a teenager, now I'm in my late twenties and am re-discovering my "old vice"... hehhe. I found the box of books in my parents' garage and re-read a few, the first one being Hannah Howell's "Stolen Ecstasy".I never liked the name of this book, it just seems so cliched, but its story is fabulous. It's funny, it's romantic, and it's realistic (if you will). :)Leanne, of course, is the haughty heroine, the frills-and-flounces lady-who-finds-herself-in-big-trouble. Hunter is the "renegade with a heart o' gold."What makes this story, for me, so memorable, is Leanne's personality. The girl is genuinely funny. Her quips and comebacks and defensive statements are realistically hilarious and memorable. I truly enjoy this character, and re-reading it, she was still as awesome as the first time.I say "realistic" above because *spoiler* Leanne gets pregnant, and I always like romance novels where this happens, it's not just all "sex" and no concequences.Read Stolen Ecstasy if you really want a heroine to remember. Leanne is probably my favorite of all the typical "gutsy, defiant" romance heroines I've read about. :)
Good story

Leanne Summers gets involved in a bank robbery when she tries to help after being thrown out of her house by her supposed mother. Hunter, one of the bank robbers takes her with him as she can identify the outlaws. His need to protect her from the other outlaws is strong as is the attraction between the two. I really liked Leanne as she was no pushover and spoke her mind while Hunter found it amusing. While this book has 426 pages, pretty thick, it is not boring so it could be read quickly as it is difficult to put down. I have yet to be disappointed by any books written by Hannah Howell...
