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

Which book ?

No idea. Sounds interesting.

I was completely wrong:-(
And I really liked that book too !

I'm almost done reading Sheila Simonson's detective novels. I recommend them and her Regencies...very adult people and very civilized

Count me in the I read it but can't place it group. I do have a theory about the author which I will check....

Hi all
I think Janga may not be able to do the puzzler tomorrow. Anyone want to step in? Of she decides to do it we can have the fun of two
Deb

Reading Sheila Simonson mysteries

I love this one too

Add me to the jealous group ! I'm reading Sheila Simonson's regencies .

I have no clue. At first it sounded familiar but by the end I was pretty sure I never read it

Did you read Courtney Milan's new book? Came out this month.

Can someone post a puzzler tomorrow? Mary Joie can't do it.
Thanks!
Debbie

I really like her and I am not a big fan of paranormals.

It's Legend of the Highland Dragon by Isabel Cooper

Next schedule is up. Let me know if you need me to change a date.

Since I posted late and I think lots of people will be busy with the holidays I will post the answer tomorrow.

I have been rereading Courtney Milan books for no particular reason except that I love them.

It's up'! happy holidays to all .

Somehow a lot of heroines end up wielding pokers. I like this version...
Hero bent and picked up the knife from where it had fallen. It was cheap work. Even if its wielder had landed a blow, the blade might have broken before doing Hero any real harm. The club had been more effective -- he had a sore place just under his rib now--but there was something visceral and intimidating about a knife, and he didn't keep them lying about his bedroom these days.

"Would you be kind enough to untie our visitor?" he asked Heroine.

She set to work, her slim fingers flying over the knots. The cravat fell away, leaving the young man rubbing his wrists.

"Get up," said Hero. He adjusted his grip on the knife--casual, but not too casual, just enough to make the thief aware of its presence. "Pick up your friend."

That process involved some grunting. "E's heavy," the young man said.

"That's very unfortunate for you," said Hero. "Now walk."

At knifepoint, the two thieves went out the door, through the hall, and down the dark staircase. Hero followed closely behind, as did Heroine, who had stopped briefly to re-arm herself.

At some point, Hero thought, he'd just have to give her a poker, perhaps one with her initials on it. Certainly she looked as natural holding the thing as anyone ever could under the circumstances.

At last, after a dim and silent journey that was mercifully free of further incident, they reached the back door. Hero stepped forward and jerked it open, then gestured to the small street beyond, where a gas lamp barely cut through the growing night. "You'd best be getting on your way, hadn't you?"

The young burglar started forward, moving slowly under teh weight of his older companion. As they crossed the threshold, Heroine spoke again.
"Im going to send for the police now. I'll tell them I saw someone lurking around the house. It'll take them'--she looked off downt he street and did a few mental calculations--"oh, about ten minutes to get here, I should think If you move fast, I might just be a silly girl spooked by the fog."

Then she shut the door.

"I don't suppose," she said, looking up at Hero, " that this sort of thing happens often?"
