I know I most likely romanticize what it was like back then, but I truly can't help the feeling, so I read Regency romances to help quell the ache.<br /><br />Thanks so much for writing!

I love ballroom dancing and moonlit gardens as well as romantic follies beside little ponds. I love war heroes, highwaymen and smugglers, rakes, scoundrels and blackguards. I could go on, but you get the point...<br /><br />Please enter my name in the drawing. The book sounds great but it would be even more special to win a copy from the author.

I also really like that they are mostly virgins. I like how they can still be smart, witty and attractive yet not needing to have been so experienced as a contemp romance heroine is in bed. <br />I love the gowns, the balls and to read about the clothing and servants. It is all so entertaining to me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04462149255674900146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576538055962817926.post-32330175347616266822012-01-28T07:33:08.000-05:002012-01-28T07:33:08.000-05:00I admit I don't know much about period at Hist...I admit I don't know much about period at Historical era, much like Regency, lol!

If it's available at Walmart, I'll subtly toss copies in non-secured full carts so the owners can get the pleasant surprise of wonderful new reading material... I am ON IT! <br /><br />You know I don't like dukes, but for you, I will set aside my prejudice and go on. It goes in cycles. <br /><br />But I love it when characters go to libraries (and have subscriptions) and go to Gunther's.
