I hope you eventually have time to write a bit more for these.
My first thought at the end was; “Where’s the rest of the book?”
=)
My goodness. Now you sound like Dean. 🙂 It’s in my head. Really. I suppose I better let it out someday. 🙂
Yes please! Before it gets poke-y like Athena!
What a lovely story–I really enjoyed it, and would love to read more of these characters.
Thanks, Mags. 🙂
What a wonderful story! Obviously I have to expand my preferred reading genres to include Regency – but only of other Regency stories/romances are as fantastic as this one! Thank you in any case for this reading experience.
I love Regency, Mary Jo. Right now, I’m reading a Mary Balogh book. She’s one of my favorites. But there are lots of other great Regency writers, including Mary Jo Putney, Jo Beverly, and our own Anthea Lawson. (Anthea has a Regency in the upcoming Christmas Ghosts of Fiction River.) Quite a world to explore–and I’m sure you’ll get other recommendations for readers if you just ask.
Very interesting story. I hope you run with it.
Nuncheon? Near the end.
Yep. Nuncheon. There’s a lot of standard Regency romance language in this one. 🙂
Oh, I love this story. Nicholas makes a delicious hero and I would love to watch his relationship with Adam grow over the years. Simply delightful story.
Thank you!
Really liked the story. Is this a part of a series? I would love to read more. I really liked Nicholas and Adam. I could see so much more.
Great story!
Thanks, Vera. It’s part of a series in my head. I just haven’t written anything but this. I’m so glad you liked the story!
