Dls’s comments from the Fans of Eloisa James & Julia Quinn group.

Hi Manda. I can't recall now. Maybe she decided not to let Amazon pick them up when Dorchester went under? I went through her blog and can't find it. Maybe I dreamed it...

A Sweet Disorder by Rose Lerner.
I loved her first two books and then she made a publishing decision that meant they became unavailable and I've waited a long time for this one. It's got an unusual plot--all about elections.

No idea. Sounds good.

I know I haven't read this one. Interesting choice!

I just read Carolina Man too. Wow. Great book and I'm in love with Luke

Rereading last weeks puzzler and "And then he kissed her". Looking forward to 6 releases tomorrow!

Susan I'm so sorry. That's hard .
Ali no idea but love the doggy bag!

The new Robyn Carr, the new Susan Mallery, the new Marilyn Pappano, tbe new Isabella Bradford ....

If Alex is the hero of Potent Pleasures then I totally agree about him! I will have to think about who else goes in that group for me.

You are right Janga it's third jn the series...
What I like about it is that ultimately we do see why he did what he did was what he thought was right. It doesn't fit our ideas of love and I didn't like his behavior when it backfired but we do see the world through his eyes

If it's the book I think it is, I loved it but I know a lot of people don't--because of his earlier behavior. I don't actually think we see it in the one earlier book...

Thanks!

Thanks Amber! On Monday morning post an excerpt from a romance that you want us to guess (most of us pick favorites we think others would enjoy trying). Substitute hero and heroine for their names so that the names don't give it away . The rest of us will post comments on whether we know it and may say something that shows we do, but won't actually post the name.
Then Tuesday night tell us the name of the book and author so we can see if we were right .
Does that work for you?

Hi
Marie Joie can't post a puzzler this week. Would anyone like to swap with her or just step in?

Yeah I should have stopped a bit earlier.
The book is The Countess Conspiracy and the bachelor party is for the hero of The Heiress Effecf

Rereading Sherry Thomas and Courtney Milan

This is from one book, but the bachelor party is for the couple who got engaged in the previous book in the series. So, lets see who recognizes both books.

There was only one thing missing from Hero's little party:guests. And by the clock, they'd be here--

The door opened.

"Oh, good Lord." Previous Hero, his cousin, stopped in the doorway. He ran one hand through his ginger hair and adjusted the spectacles on his nose in disbelief.
Yes, the effect was rather impressive, if Hero said so himself. He folded his arms and tried not to preen too obviously.

"Are we really expected to eat all of that?" previous hero asked in hushed tones.

"Not we," Hero said grandly. "You."

There is an entire pig on that table. I have to stand up tomorrow morning." Previous hero shook his head. "Also I would prefer not to vomit during my wedding ceremony. Previous heroine might get the wrong idea."

"Robert and I will hold you upright. It was his job to bring the bucket tonight. We'll see if he...Oh there you are Robert. Nice of you to join us."

"Bucketless," previous hero muttered.

"Bucketless?" Robert shook his head. "What are you two nattering on about?"

"Oh, nothing." Hero smiled. "Come in then. Come and gawk at the magnificence I have provided." He stepped aside and let his friends enter the room. Previous hero looked all around, impressed despite himself.

Hero and Robert had made the sign hanging over the table. "Congratulations* previous hero!" it read in bright, multihued letters. The asterisk after the congratulations led to a footnote, spelled out in tiny black letters along the bottom of the banner.

Previous hero stepped close and peered up at the canvas. "On managing to bamboozle an otherwise intelligent, lovely young woman into marrying you, which is quite possibly your greatest accomplishment to date," he read aloud. But he was smiling as he did. "You're right. Completely right. I still can't quite wrap my head around my good fortune."

"You should have been there when they first met," Hero told Robert "It was quite an event."

"You weren't there when we first met." Previous hero frowned. "Were you?"

"When they second met" hero corrected himself with a shrug. "She talked him in circles and afterward, he kept glancing over his shoulder and refusing to talk about her. It was love at second meeting. It was obvious to everyone except him; he took months to figure it out."

Robert snickered. "God, you should have seen him mope about her. It was catastrophic. I thought something awful had happened, and he never even mentioned her name."

"I am right here," previous hero announced. "Standing in front of you two."....

"Oh, right," Robert said in feigned surprise. "You are here. I suppose we'll have to save the gossip about you for tomorrow night when you'll be otherwise occupied. Tonight, you celebrate the last evening before your marriage in the style that only the Brothers Sinister can provide!"

"Yes," hero said. "We have here only the most sinister of foods---which is to say that any man who eats with his right hand must be made to drink an entire glass of my famous punch."

Yep. Put the answer here. You can certainly also put it there but if not I think Okie does...

Pretty sure I have not read this!

I'm pretty sure I haven't read it
