*gasps* Lol..well ok I am actually surprise...@Steph<br />*gasps* Lol..well ok I am actually surprised since I have not seen much of that fact on your blog. But then everything who reads my blog would think that is all I ever read ;)<br /><br />That is sure why I read it, the romance that was just awww<br /><br /><br /> @Aisle<br />I noticed that she fancy rakes, but then I grew up reading about rakes and sweet heroines who they fell for so I love it. And I do love her elegant phrase of words<br /><br /><br />@Diana<br />You should try it, it's all very cute. And the 50s can't been seen at all..then again dunno how they wrote then but at least 70s romance sure stands out<br /><br /><br />@Melissa<br />She was not afraid, that's for sure. What a sweet gal. I do like a good banter<br /><br /><br />@Carrie<br />YAY :D I can't wait to see what you think<br /><br /><br />@Marybelle<br />They have sure withstood time and not aged like certain other books.<br /><br /><br />@Anna<br />I am so happy. I always saw her around and I always said to myself I should read one<br /><br /><br />@Jenny<br />I know someone who has tried that, blogger that is :) You really should :DBlodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-13782695915744697312011-08-02T19:43:26.004+03:002011-08-02T19:43:26.004+03:00@Elysium

Oh what a HR prude I am ;)<br />JA and fantasy....*deep in thought about writing one* Excellent idea<br /><br /><br />@Lynne<br />They had this list about books at the back of this one, but not all were there so I must go and google cos they all sounded so fun. Will def check Fredrica first.<br /><br />My first was Barbara Cartland, lol, I know they can't be compared ;)<br /><br /><br />@Veens<br />I do think her books are all different, genre wise that is. I tried her historical fiction and did not like it, but liked her romance. So dunno if I would like her mystery books<br /><br /><br />@Mel<br />True, I can't remember seeing you reading one lately, while I have seem to have read a lot lately. Sometimes they all just comes at once. You really should read more :D<br /><br /><br />@Simcha<br />Hm.....is that the book I think it is..I do think so. I have seen it around and peeps seem to enjoy it. I will take your word for it and put it on my list :D <br /><br />Now where is that goodreads tab so I can get cracking<br /><br /><br />@Chris<br />No heaving bosoms, manly chests and strange dressed anywhere.

Not the main one but one I once visited, so at least those are around<br /><br /><br />@Audra<br />I know :D I am very glad too. I would have felt so disappointed if I had not fallen for her<br /><br />@Jenny<br />They make me happy too. This was the kind of book that first made me like romance, sweet and innocent. Even if the leading man is a rake ;)<br /><br /><br />@Naida<br />I am truly happy to have finally read one and more will follow soon.
