My teaser this week is from Do You Want to Start a Scandal by Tessa Dare:

Most of his life he had managed people in much the same way. Not because he had disdain for them, or an inflated sense of his own importance, but because emotion could too easily skew his shot. Detachment was key - and it had never been a struggle.

Until now.

Until Charlotte.

I am finally reading Do You Want to Start a Scandal by Tessa Dare. I waited for quite some time for it to come into my librar and it never did. While I was waiting I read all of the two series that the book links (Spindle Cove and Castles Ever After). I found myself looking forward to this book more and more. I've read the beginning of this book and enjoyed it quite a bit. I hope the rest of the book lives up to my expectations.

"No teasing. I am here for you."

"If that's not teasing, it's a flat-out lie."

He inched the chair forward, desperate to close the distance between them. He spoke to her quietly, honestly. From the depths of his cold, long suffering heart. "I'm here for you mon ange. Violet, I would cross a world for you."

I'm currently reading the Spindle Cove series by Tessa Dare. I had the pleasure of hearing her speak in August but had never read any of her books. I decided I should and found myself falling for her characters in her Stud Club series. Her books are Historical Romances which I love but hadn't read in a while. Now I'm living my reading life in that era because Tessa Dare writes funny, flawed, lovable, stubborn, human characters I find myself rooting for! If you haven't given her a try but like strong characters then do so. I was pleasantly surprised and think others may be as well.
