She’s No Princess by Laura Lee Guhrke

I still haven’t decided if I am getting this or not, as I was one of the ones disappointed in The Marriage Bed and the summary is sort of iffy for me.

summary from site:

What happens when Britain’s most proper diplomat, Sir Ian Moore, meets up with the fun-loving daughter of an Italian prince?
Trouble. Lots and lots of trouble. Especially for him.

She has a limited time excerpt up at her site until March 28th, then a new excerpt gets posted. So if you are interested go read! Oh there is also a contest if you read the excerpt go enter!

The cover I don’t really like, might be my computer color being screwy, but that looks like one fucked up hand from here.

If you know for sure you want this… amazon has it on the list for the buy 3 get 4 special, really a great deal. Le sigh will be strong. Will not buy books. But hey I can live on the joy of your book buys so helpful girl I am you can order it here

Barbara Pierce?

Wicked Under the Covers by Barbara Pierce

Who is Barbara Pierce?

Looks like she has quite a few books out and has two more on the way. Wicked Under the Covers is due out in July 2006 from St. Martin’s Press. Then in 2007 SINFUL BETWEEN THE SHEETS comes out.

How can there be a historical author I have never heard of? Kristie you are so falling down on the job! Not sure what I think of these titles… can’t say I have heard them before but….

excerpt for Wicked Under the Covers

The Earl’s Intended Wife by Louise Allen

The Earl’s Intended Wife by Louise Allen

OK so I bought one new book during my DiW search on Wednesday… hey one! I did good. So it wasn’t on my tbb list and is an author I never heard of, I was weak.

Summary:

Hebe Carlton had little idea of her own charm until Major Alex Beresford arrived on the island of Malta. She made no attempt to cast out lures and treated him with warm practicality, showing an insight and ability to read him that few others had managed. His attentions made Hebe blossom, and her stepmother began to entertain hopes of a wedding.

Then a letter arrived for Alex. The proposal of marriage he’d made to another before ever meeting Hebe had been accepted at last. He should be happy… But now Alex could only contemplate marrying one person — and it wasn’t his betrothed!

She doesn’t have a website but does blog on Historical Romance UK

I thought she was a new author but looks like she has been published in the UK just not here. In 2004! I wonder how they decide what books to bring out here. Or does that mean they need more Harlequin Historical authors?

Never Seduce a Scoundrel by Sabrina Jeffries

Another book I want that is coming out in March is Never Seduce a Scoundrel the first book in Sabrina Jeffries new series School for Heiresses

The excerpt looks good, I just read it. I really try not to read excerpt if at all possible because then I tend to obsess. Yes I am sure you are shocked.

The second book Only a Duke Will Do ties in with To Pleasure a Prince. Two of my fave secondary characters Louisa North (who gives lessons on court behavior at the school) and Simon, the Duke of Foxmoor are the h/h. I have wanted this book since I finished TPaP :).

Release is set for September 2006.

Liz Carlyle will join Sabrina Jeffries (along with Julia London and Renee Bernard) in December 2006 for a School for Heiresses anthology. I believe that will end the series. Very clever idea I think… or maybe that is just because I love to read SJ and LC ;).

Devil in Winter - yes again

Loved it! WAY loved it!

Review to come later… prolly much later

a couple fave quotes (not really too spoilerish if you know anything about the book):
one I have rereread in the excerpt and still made me grin when I read the book

“My father, the duke, has failed in his one responsibility in life: to keep the family fortune intact so that he can pass it on to me. My responsibility, on the other hand, is to pass my time in profligate idleness and wait for him to die. I’ve been doing my job splendidly. The duke, however, has not. He’s made a botch of managing the family finances, and at present he is unforgivably poor and even worse, healthy.”
yes that is the hero Sebastian

“The only love match is between St. Vincent and himself”
Cam

I really wish LK had known she wasn’t going to make Cam the hero in the next book before this one went off to print. He is a great character. Of course maybe that will give her a want to do another historical ;).

“It’s a mistake, you know. You have no idea of what you’ll be exposed to… the obscenities and lewd comments, the lecherous gazes, the groping and pinching… and that’s just at my house. Imagine what it would be like here.”
Sebastian

“Oh, stop protesting. I didn’t make nearly this much of a fuss after our wedding, and I was a virgin.”
Evie

Really I could quote the book, loved Sebastian and Eve, and their banter is wonderful. Sebastian is who he is and makes no bones about it, Eve knows it and doesn’t try to hide it. Of course one does have to giggle at her “I don’t like that word”. comments. I do adore the ‘fuck’ comment but won’t quote yet…

I can see some not loving this book but I think it just might be my favorite Kleypas novel. I look forward to reading what everyone thinks ;).

Devil in Winter…

“>LOOK Devil in Winter isn’t it pretty? And it is mine, mine, mine…

That noise you hear is me sqqqqeeeeeing. Walgreens? Who’ed a thunk. So thank you to the nice members of the avon board (shush kristie and you too romance a go go).

So while the OCD voice in my head is now silent enough for me to finish the stuff I was trying to do, you can go to walgreen too ;). Yes this is prolly the last time I pay full price for a book. And I am still pissed at walmart for having every new book except the two I need.

If you are not manic like myself and you can calmly wait for the book to come out and go kill some time on Lisa Kleypas’s site. Or go read lisa squawk about Devil in Winter… look kristie she mentions a certain someone you adore ;).
