I LOVED this book! You can check out my review here.
Prologue
Eton College, Berkshire, England, 1797
Eton College, Berkshire, England, 1797
The line between boy and man was never murkier than when a father died too soon, leaving his son to walk through the foibles of youth while shouldering the responsibilities of adulthood.
The Hawthorne House Series
Loved this book and the series. Some great stuff coming up by Kristi!
ReplyDeleteJust finished The Captivating Lady Charlotte by guess who? Carolyn Miller! Number two in this Regency series!
The room glimmered with a thousand points of sparkling light, the bright glow from the enormous crystals-dropped chandelier glinting off heavily beaded gowns, ornate mirrors, and the desperation shining in dozens of pairs of eyes.
Oooooh!!!!
DeleteI clicked on my Mini Maglite as I slit the police tape crisscrossing the apartment's front door, swung it open, and stepped into the darkened living room.
ReplyDeleteWait!WHAT????
DeleteThis was going to be a disaster.
ReplyDeleteSugar Pine Trail by RaeAnne Thayne
Hahahahaha! I LOVE that!
DeleteThe king, it turned out, was dying.
ReplyDelete-My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton and Jodi Meadows.
This book is hilarious.
Ooooh this has me intrigued!
DeleteThis series and Carolyn Miller's series are both excellent. I kept expecting one of the Hawthorne house heroes to show up while I was reading The Dishonorable Miss DeLancey ...
ReplyDeleteMy First Line Friday post this week was from The Secret Life of Sarah Hollenbeck by Bethany Turner - wonderful! I'm currently reading The Engagement Plot by Krista Phillips. Here's the first line:
Hanna Knight clicked the Power button on the radio as she inched the Dodge Ram pickup down the snow-covered highway. Embarrass, Minnesota, was only a few miles farther.
Embarrass as a place name? That's even weirder than Iola (yes, Iola is a place name: Iola, Wisconsin, and Iola, Kansas).
Awesome series! Happy Monday!
