Teddy Rose Book Reviews Plus More


Thanks to Brianne Beers of  Hachette Book Group, I am giving away up to 3 copies of How to Seduce a Scroundrel by Vicky Dreiling.

Book Description:
When Lady Julianne Gatewick realizes the rake of her dreams thinks of her as practically his sister, she decides it’s time to get even. The charming Marc Darcett, Earl of Hawkfield, is every lady’s fantasy, but he’s determined to evade virgins and their matrimonial traps – especially his best friend’s sister.

Hawk reluctantly agrees to be Julianne’s guardian for the season, but he’s having trouble resisting his gorgeous ward. Worse still, she’s taunting him by flirting with every scoundrel in London – and he’s sworn to protect her! Certain she’s learned her tricks from the authoress of that scandalous publication “The Secrets of Seduction”, Hawk sets out to uncover the writer’s identity. But he never expects to find the formerly angelic Julianne behind the mask – and between his sheets.

About Vicky Dreiling:
Vicky Dreiling is a confirmed historical romance junkie and Anglophile. Frequent business trips to the UK allowed her to indulge her passion for all things Regency England. Bath, Stonehenge, and Spencer House are among her favorite places. She is, however, truly sorry for accidentally setting off a security alarm in Windsor Castle. That unfortunate incident led her British colleagues to nickname her “Trouble.”

When she’s not writing, Vicky enjoys reading, films, concerts, and most of all, long lunches with friends. She holds degrees in English literature and marketing. A native Texan, she shares her home with her daughter and a spoiled mini-lop rabbit that lives in a slightly gnawed cardboard cottage.

A Box to Hide In by James Thurber

Posted in Short Story Read in 2011  | 6 Comments

 
A couple of weeks ago the Library of America featured A Box to Hide In by James Thurber.  Since then it has been reviewed by two Short Story Monday participants, so I had to jump on in myself.  LOL!
It’s a simple story the unknown narrator goes from grocery store to grocery store and other places asking if they have a box big enough for him to hide in.
“It’s a form of escape”, I told him. “Hiding in a box, it circumscribes your worries and the range of your anguish. You don’t see people, either”.
“How in the hell do you eat when you’re in this box?”, asked the grocer.”
I can certainly relate to wanting a place to hide.  When I was going through a severe depression some years ago I hid in bed as best I could. Although my husband would come home from work and get me to eat dinner and watch some TV.  Boy is he a wonderful man, the way he helped me through it!  I took a long time but then I got back into the land of the living.
You can read A Box to Hide In here.
