Bad week. Fever on Saturday, tired on Sunday. Better, tired again, And so it goes on. It's my sinuses, damn sinuses! I have had issues since Sep when I cleaned out this moldy storage area. It comes and goes.
.............................
England's "vampire craze" causes much vexation for the Lord Vampire of London, Ian Ashton. To save his reputation, Ian enlists aspiring authoress Angelica Winthrop without realizing she has hidden plans of her own.
Angelica Winthrop's life goal is to ruin her reputation, avoid marriage, and become a gothic authoress like her idol, Mary Shelley. To find inspiration for her new story, she breaks into the home of Ian Ashton, Duke of Burnrath, not knowing she will be coming up against the Lord Vampire of London. Romance sparks and reputations are at stake. But who knows the real difference between fact and fiction?
My thoughts:
I do not know why, but I can still read historical paranormal romance. Huh. Maybe it's the fact that it's historical so they do not jump each other on p 2 and they did not feel insta love either. Must be.
Story: Angela wants to be ruined so she can focus on her writing.
Ian is a Duke who is trying to look normal, which is not easy since he is a vampire and there is a rumour out there that he is a vampire! Not good, there are hunters afoot.
They meet, he sees a way out of his strangeness, she not so much. They argue, and in the end they will fall in love cos that is what lovers do.
Fun, cute.

I haven't read many HR/paranormal mash ups. Just a werewolf one I think.

I have read a few, they work better than contemporary pnr ...A LOT better
DeleteI was tired, but I tried
LOL I have loved that title. Yay for being able to read those still!
ReplyDeleteBoo on still feeling bad. Man that sucks. Hope the week gets better!
They do work, yay :)
DeleteI know, sigh
Glad you are feeling a bit better. I am not a big fan of historicals, but I do like the paranormal kinds. I'll have to check this one out. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou should give one a go :)
DeleteYou are rockin' the exercise routine!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteYou go girl! I love HF, but in smaller doses :)
ReplyDeleteI do love it
DeleteGreat job with the exercise despite feeling sick. Hope you feel better this week.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too
DeleteIt's nice, it sounds like a good and fun story!
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better. I thought I was coming down with another cold earlier this week, but it seemed to go away (fingers crossed it stays away!!!). Seems as though you still managed to have a pretty good week, though!
ReplyDeleteI hope it stays away! I am so bloody tired of my sinuses, arghhhh
DeleteSinuses can be horrible. I know the feeling of not being able to look down or over your shoulder because of the pain ... I feel sorry for you and hope you'll recover soon. The photos are more beautiful every week, and you can definitely see the spring setting in. The book, yeah, cute. And you nailed it - he does look weird on the cover, lol :D Wishing you lots of good health <3
ReplyDeleteUgh yes, that is why I skipped one of the zumba classes last week. Jumping, eh, no thank you!
DeleteSlowly but it's coming...slooowly. We had snow yesterday and then it melted away
I hope you feel better soon. And hey, at least no DNF reviews this week right? :)
ReplyDeleteNice bird watching pics!
~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum

DeleteI'm sorry you've been feeling under the weather. I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too
Delete1) Still good for being sickly! Hope your fever is gone.
ReplyDelete2) haha gotta love a vampy duke. xD
For now it's gone, but I wanna feel awesome, now just ok
DeleteBoo to sinus and it sucks to be unwell on and off for months. I want to feel awesome too :) Is your fitbit still in warranty?
ReplyDeleteBf is trying to fix it, meaning it will never get done
DeleteI have been on a break from pnr, and maybe reading a historical is the way to go. This sounds cute!
ReplyDeleteI just can't do contemporary pnr any more
DeleteHahaha. When I saw the title in the heading I thought you were cursing the Queen. :D lol
ReplyDeleteLOL
