Azteclady's guest review of What a Gentleman Wants (Reece Family Trilogy, Book 1) by Caroline Linden
Historical romance released by Zebra 1 Sep 06
First in the Reece family trilogy, What a Gentleman Wants tells the story of Marcus, Duke of Exeter, and Hannah Preston, a vicar’s widow from the country. This novel is a very entertaining variation on the twins-playing-each other plot device. What a Rogue Desires, David’s story, and A Rake’s Guide to Seduction, Celia’s story, follow it. Read more

Liviania's review of What A Gentleman Wants by Caroline Linden
Historical romance released 01 Sept 06 from Zebra
I began reading Caroline Linden with her newest release, A Rake's Guide to Seduction, which features Celia. I enjoyed Linden's voice and the sweet romance and thus bought the next book of hers I could find. That turned out to be What a Gentleman Wants, the story of Celia's oldest brother Marcus.

What A Rogue Desires by Caroline Linden
I WANT! Mine, mine, alllllll mine!!!!
I am thinking Zebra is trying to help Justin bring sexy back...
September is shaping up to be a great month for upcoming historicals from Zebra. What do you think of the cover? Like it better than the other two?
I still don't like the idea of messing with the 'branding' of a series. I mean the first two books follow a theme. But maybe they didn't sell well? I am not sure.
I liked both of them so if this will help and not hurt I am all for it. Sadly to see if it works...
There still isn't much on her website but I do have this quote I found when she did a guest day last year.
Tags: Caroline Linden, Historical, September 2007, What a Gentleman Wants, What a Rogue Desires, ZebraI just finished a follow-up to WHAT A GENTLEMAN WANTS, in which the very wicked brother, David, gets his comeuppance.
It's a bit about not knowing what you've got until you're about to lose it. I didn't begin WHAT A GENTLEMAN WANTS with the intention of writing David's story, so I made him pretty bad, and left myself quite a hole to climb out of with him!
But his heroine is one of my favorites; she's very smart-mouthed, and clear-eyed about the world, and she doesn't take any baloney from anyone, especially not David which is exactly what he needs. And now I'm getting started on Marcus's and David's younger sister, Celia.

What a Gentleman Wants
September 06.
(RIGHT NOW! WAITING FOR YOU TO BUY IT!)
Do I read my finished books:
Yes.
It's a sick habit, and I always find a typo, but by the time the book comes out, it's been so long since I wrote it, it’s like a whole new story to me: hey, I wrote that?
The hero did what? Wow...who knew?
It's almost like revisiting a prior life--although it may just be proof that I am losing my mind.
Have I always wanted to be a writer:
Nope. I spent college trying NOT to write (see: math major; problem sets). It left more time for TV viewing and partying.
How long does it take to write a book:
One bottle of Kahlua, three viewings of Pride and Prejudice (BBC version), and multiple batches of chocolate cookies.
Plus a zillion hours of web surfing, aka ‘research.’
Where do I get my ideas:
In the shower. Sometimes at the grocery market. And once at the dentist's office.
What's next:
What A Rogue Desires, in September 2007 (or thereabouts).
Anyone who reads What A Gentleman Wants will probably be able to guess who the rogue is.
It wasn't my plan to write that book, but (honest) my editor asked for it.
Now it is your turn!Have a question for Caroline? Go for it!
