Which gave them an elusive, forbidden air. <br /><br />I couldn't keep up a steady diet of romances (even Fabio, sadly) but I do thoroughly enjoy one here or there, and it's certainly worth finding an author or two you enjoy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330550798080469047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907747392138991807.post-62876743925676601792009-10-09T09:47:46.635-04:002009-10-09T09:47:46.635-04:00You have converted me.

I confess that growing up, my mom only read romance so maybe they just seem boring to me (not fair). I HAVE read all of the Fabio books. (he has them ghostwritten then is photographed like beached sexily on the sand) <br />Anyway, way off topic, this review was great and it makes me want to seek this book out, against all of my prejudices!Mandyhttp://eoseventeen.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907747392138991807.post-39149892878073473892009-10-07T10:59:17.592-04:002009-10-07T10:59:17.592-04:00Welsh!

That's a good author to try if Regencies are your light reading. Highly recommend <i>The Lost Duke of Wyndham</i> to start.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330550798080469047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907747392138991807.post-28039883681251488932009-10-07T09:26:34.917-04:002009-10-07T09:26:34.917-04:00Welsh!

She's Welsh first, then Saskatchewanian. ;)<br />I too enjoy her books when I'm looking for a light romance - I generally read Regencies as my escapist literature! Try some of her earlier ones with another family as the main characters; a little less fluffy perhaps.Melwykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885378201188978664noreply@blogger.com
