Colleen Coble writes romantic suspense with a strong atmospheric element. A lovable animal of some kind--usually a dog--always populates her novels. She can be bribed with DeBrand mocha truffles.
Denise Hunter writes women's fiction and love stories with a strong emotional element. Her husband says he provides her with all her romantic material, but Denise insists a good imagination helps too.
Diann Hunt writes romantic comedy and humorous women's fiction. She has been happily married forever, loves her family, chocolate, her friends, chocolate, her dog, and well, chocolate.
Cheryl Hodde writes romantic medical suspense under the pen name of Hannah Alexander, using all the input she can get from her husband, Mel, for the medical expertise. For fun she hikes and reads. Out of guilt, she rescues discarded cats. She and Mel are presently taking orders from four pampered strays.

My husband would never say that!!! LOL
Great post, Colleen!
Laughing here, Jaime! Dave would never say does my butt look big either. LOL!!

"which color looks better on me - this one or this one?"
"let's do this the right way, not the easy way"
When I need details from my DH, I say "tell it to me like a girl", lol.

"I don't know,,.I like it, but...," when clothes shopping
"You know what I mean....Yeah, I really do," (and mean it!)
"I just want a hot bath, a cup of tea and a good book!"
Fun post, Colleen!
I'm ALWAYS talking about color, Cheryl! I used to be a color consultant so that's something I pay attention to.
Beverly, I can almost read my girlfriends's minds. Sounds like you do too!
"Do you like this color on my nails?" -I actually asked my husband this yesterday and he got that blank look on his face....
"Let's stop here and ask for directions."
"Does anyone need a potty break?"
I have to tell you a story this made me think of. We were in CVS and Elle cocks her head up and looks over at this girl and gives her this look of snottiness. I go, "Elle, what was that about?"
"I was trying to act popular, like the girls on TV."
Oh. My. Gosh. We have dark sides too. LOL
Oh my. These are funny. My sweet hubby has never asked me any of these. I can't think of anything new to add, but thanks for this, it was fun to read.
I think by nature we tend to be more observant. I remember as kids we snuck out of the house, hair in curlers to get our photo taken for a "surprise" portrait for the folks anniversary (like on the Brady Bunch episode where Jan got glasses). My Dad was sitting at the kitchen table when we left and again when we got home. On our arrival home our hair was done, make up on and Dad didn't even notice that... or that we'd been out! My Mom would have caught every little detail including what we ate while we were out. Good thing she wasn't sitting there or we'd have had the grand inquisition!
Guys just don't notice stuff so why bother commenting to them ;-)
I'm not married, but I'm pretty sure that a guy wouldn't tell his friend, "I love writing about this character. He's so NICE! And don't you just love it when he smiles?"
So funny, Sue!
Hannah, don't make your character too nice. Give him some flaws! And bring in conflict--lots of it!
Oh, what a fun post, C! Ditto on what everyone else said their husband wouldn't say. My husband would never comment on my weight--well, not if he wants to live to see retirement. ;-)
Men would never say:
Rats, the color of my car clashes with my shoes.
Did I leave my flat iron plugged in?
Not tonight, I have a headache.
Oh, don't worry, Colleen -- he has lots of flaws. It's part of what makes writing about him so much fun, LOL.
"How are the kids?"
My women friends and I discuss our kids all the time and I'm not convinced the men do that.
"How are you doing?"
The men I know start in with sports, and then, well, they end up with sports. LOL If "their" team is good, they assume they're good to. Life is so simple for them!
That color matches your eyes...
Do those shoes come in other colors?
Can I hold the baby? (when offered, all of the men have trembled in fear and turned away)
How big was he/long was he/what time was he born?
I'll pass on the fries; I'm watching my figure.... LOL!!!
But praise God for the things they DO say...like, Honey, you look beautiful today...and I love you...and can I get you anything...and where would you like to eat out tonight LOL!!
