Do you know I have more trouble with the contemporary than the historical?

As much as I love reading Regency, it's funny how more strict the sweet Regency is - I think it's because you can't get away with anything, as opposed to the hot Regencies! lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-58771560112778235362013-10-28T18:55:02.547-04:002013-10-28T18:55:02.547-04:00Great cover and it sounds like you really challeng...Great cover and it sounds like you really challenged yourself.

I understand that Regency readers know their history and culture and they'll call you on it if you get something wrong.<br /><br />I love your cover and the premise of your story.<br /><br />Cara Marsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384839120633419382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-45240896460042544312013-10-28T12:45:13.643-04:002013-10-28T12:45:13.643-04:00Sandy, nothing ventured, nothing gained!

I loved the cover when I first saw it; it's so different than what I usually see (naked bodies, anyone?) ;)<br /><br />I modeled a looong time ago, and it taught me so much - confidence being one. You modeled too? Isn't that something? I couldn't do it anymore; the cat fighting and craziness was too much for me, I was worried that I would kill someone! lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-51730030951491180492013-10-28T12:40:51.170-04:002013-10-28T12:40:51.170-04:00Lovely cover and excerpt, Charlene.
