The teaser comes from page 259:
Sometimes the love of liberty replaces all other loves. It is a much stronger, a much more burning passion than anyone thinks... It can become a man's sole pre-occupation. And it always makes him a nobler creature...Teaser Tuesday is hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading. Head on over to find out all about it, and how to join in!
At first pass I had read library for liberty. It still made sense!
ReplyDeleteLike the Teaser. Would like to know the first book in series.

Sorry you are struggling with the book. The teaser doesn't seem to match the cover either.

I also really like the cover, but am sorry to hear you are having a hard time with it.
ReplyDeleteIt does seem a little dry to me. I think I like a little more passion from a character. Nice tease, though!I'm curious how the rest of the book goes.

LOVE that cover, lol!
ReplyDeleteTwo of my least favorite things: struggling through books and covers that don't match contents. Good luck with this. Thanks for stopping by Calico Contemplations.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that some of the worst books have the best covers? She reminds me a bit of Princess Diane.
ReplyDeleteI love that old-style cover! Not sure why the book doesn't live up to it, as the cover is pretty :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by e-Volving Books
Oh boo! With a quote like that and a cover like that, it should be a rockin' book!
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser, this sounds like a book I like to read.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog.

That's a really good teaser. Liberty is always good. Thanks for visiting my teaser.
ReplyDeleteStrangely enough, a quote about liberty fits in with my teaser from Free-range kids! Thanks for dropping by.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful for the 4th. Thanks for stopping by My Teaser
ReplyDeleteI'm curious now... what has snagged you with this one, I wonder? Hmmmm... :)
ReplyDeleteCan't tell whether your character thinks she's losing out to liberty? Not an uncommon feeling, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteMy TT is for Irmgard Hunt's memoir "On Hitler's Mountain". Link: Summit Musings
This is the book where the series takes a bit of a turn - action shifts to the New World and it's a completely different environment with different challenges and a somewhat different focus. I hope you'll be able to enjoy it more before the book is over.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I can tell more often than not the covers for these books have very little in common with the story, so "don't judge the book by its cover" really applies here.
Tea, the first book in the series is Angelique.
