<p><img class="alignright" title="The Year of Living Shamelessly by Susanna Carr" src="http://www.susannacarr.com/images/global/covers/shamelessly/shamelessly_350.jpg" alt="" width="232" height="350" />1. Every year Katie Kramer makes the same New Year&#8217;s resolution to have a wild affair with Ryder Scott. Do you make New Year&#8217;s resolutions? Why or why not?</p>
<p>2. Katie believes she could be a powerful woman when she protected her relationships. Is making sacrifices for a relationship a sign of power or a sign of weakness?</p>
<p>3. Katie transforms herself by following all the advice in women&#8217;s magazines. If you had to follow every tip in one women&#8217;s magazine, which publication would you choose? Oprah? Cosmopolitan? Martha Stewart?</p>
<p>4. Ryder thinks Katie is too innocent for him. Is he really out of her league when it comes to sex, or is his opinion based on the girl she was years ago?</p>
<p>5. Katie&#8217;s friends believe that the level of her self-confidence can be measured by the height of the heels she&#8217;s wearing. What do you think your shoes say about you?</p>
<p>6. Katie is shameless when she goes after Ryder. Darwin can be very persistent when he wants to gain Katie&#8217;s attention. How is Darwin different than Katie?</p>
<p>7. Has Katie truly reinvented herself or is she pretending to be a bad girl?</p>
<p>8. Do you think Katie went too far to get Ryder in her bed? How far have you gone to get the man you wanted? Was it worth it?</p>

<p><img border="0" vspace="10" align="right" width="182" src="http://susannacarr.com/images/global/covers/pink/pink_276.jpg" hspace="10" height="276" style="width: 182px; height: 276px" />1. The sisters purchase a pair of earrings that were once worn by a famous woman they idolized when they were growing up. If you could buy anything from your favorite celebrity, what would it be?</p>
<p>2. Discuss the relationships among the siblings. Which sister appealed to you most and why?</p>
<p>3. Which of the men did you think had the most heroic qualities: Ian, Dominic, Alex or Tony?</p>
<p>4. Why do you think Sabrina needed the diamonds to have the courage to attract attention? Shouldn&#8217;t the designer dresses have been enough?</p>
<p>5. Dominic tried to take away and destroy the one thing that was special to Lindsay. Do you think she should have given him a second chance?</p>
<p>6. Nicole wears the earrings whenever she wants to act like the bold and scandalous woman she admired. When she discovers the original meaning of the pink diamonds, do you think it will affect how she feels when she wears the earrings?</p>
<p>7. Lindsay wore the earrings only when she was on vacation while Nicole wore it as often as she could. If you had a rare and priceless piece of jewelry, would you wear it or keep it in a safe?</p>
<p>8. As an ex-con who&#8217;s still determined to get the diamonds, Mercer is not a traditional romance heroine. Did this make you dislike her or did you love her more because of it?</p>
<p>9. All of the sisters hoped to emulate their beloved idol when they wore the earrings. What personality trait do you wish you shared with a famous or important person?</p>
<p>10. <em><strong>Pink Ice</strong></em> was nominated for Best Erotic Fiction in the Romantic Times Readers&#8217; Choice Award. Which was the sexiest scene for you?</p>

The title <a href="http://www.susannacarr.com/books/bridesmaids.htm"><strong><em>Bad Girl Bridesmaids</em></strong></a> was used because bridesmaids aren&#8217;t supposed to have attitudes. How would you describe a bridesmaid?</p>
<p>2. Kelsey thinks she is unpaid labor for her sorority sisters&#8217; weddings. Is she too much of a good girl or is she simply a good friend.</p>
<p>3. How do you feel about Kelsey when she thought she was having a fling with a gigolo?</p>
<p>4. Tara shares her innermost thoughts on a bridesmaid blog. Have you ever revealed too much online or discovered that someone you know reads what you&#8217;ve been writing?</p>
<p>5. Is it wrong for Luke to use the information he read on Tara&#8217;s blog?</p>
<p>6. Do you think Amber did the right thing when she spoke up at the wedding? What would you have done in her situation?</p>
<p>7. If you could spend the day with one character in this book, who would it be and why?</p>
<p>8. Have you ever been a bridesmaid? Was it a positive or negative experience?</p>

If you are a librarian, bookseller or reader group leader and are using these guides, please let me <a href="http://www.susannacarr.com/contact.htm">know</a>. Your feedback will be deeply appreciated. Thanks! ~ Susanna Carr</p>
<p><img border="0" vspace="10" align="right" width="183" src="http://www.susannacarr.com/images/global/covers/royal/royal_276.jpg" hspace="10" height="276" style="width: 183px; height: 276px" />1. <a href="http://www.susannacarr.com/books/royal.htm"><em><strong>Red-Hot and Royal</strong></em></a> is about three women falling in love with royal men. However, the women aren&#8217;t traditional princess material. Do you think the &#8220;requirements&#8221; for princesses are more relaxed than when you were growing up?</p>
<p>2. All three romances occurred in the United States. How do you think the locations helped or hurt the budding relationships?</p>
<p>3. Kylee&#8217;s job is to transform royal rebel Prince Santos into Prince Charming. Yet she believes that even if Santos behaves badly, he would be forgiven because he is royal. Do you think that is true?</p>
<p>4. At the end of the story, who do you think transformed the most: Kylee or Santos?</p>
<p>5. Lauren doesn&#8217;t understand why Zain follows so many superstitions, while he thinks Lauren should accept that she can&#8217;t control everything in her world. Which character is more like you?</p>
<p>6. When Lauren kisses Zain, everything changes in their lives. In most fairy tales, there is power behind the kiss. Why do you think that is?</p>
<p>7. Shayla meets Crown Prince Rafael while pretending to be a different type of woman. Do you think she would have had the confidence to approach him as herself?</p>
<p>8. Shayla believes that Rafael wouldn&#8217;t have noticed her if he hadn&#8217;t thought she was a dangerous woman. Do you agree?</p>
<p>9. Did the men in <a href="http://www.susannacarr.com/books/royal.htm"><em><strong>Red-Hot and Royal</strong></em></a> fit your ideal of what a prince should be like? Do you think the &#8220;requirements&#8221; of a prince have changed?</p>
<p>10. Have you ever wanted to be a princess? Why or why not?</p>
