Despite the fact that I have numerous books out from the library that are due back soon, and not to mention the review books that I need to read, as soon as I received this book, I had to start it straight away because I had enjoyed all of
Susan Holloway Scott's previous books set in the court of Charles II. There was no way known I was going to be able to wait until September to read it!
So my teaser from this week comes page 83 from The Countess and the King, which is due to be released at the beginning of September.
Still in the glow of the duke's earlier attention to me, this talk of his new bride did not concern me. I'd seen how it was with royal weddings, how they were affairs of state, not the heart, or even desire.
Please note that this teaser comes from an ARC and so may change slightly in the final printing.
Teaser Tuesday is hosted by Miz B at

ReplyDeleteAs someone who writes about women who made their clothes from flour sacks, all I can say is: that purple dress!
ReplyDeleteI know Shelley, it's gorgeous isn't it!
ReplyDeleteYvonne, historicals are my thing, and I know that I enjoy this author's books so it is all good!
Jennifer, Lady Q and Elysium, I can highly recommend Susan Holloway Scott's books.
Shelley, the link in my TT post takes you to my thoughts on some of the author's earlier books if you are interested.
Hi Susan, thanks for stopping by!
Alayne and Phyl, I am not sure if she is going to be broken hearted or not, but I sure am enjoying finding out.
Alice, throughout history the Mistresses seem to do all right for themselves at an emotional level don't they!
Jlshall, it's one of my favourite periods to read about too.
Clare, so far so good.
Zibilee, I feel a little guilty, but some times we all just need a guilty pleasure, right?
Kathy, it is great historical fiction.
Amy, I am pretty sure I will!
Thanks to everyone for stopping by!
