Mr. Darcy! Miss Bennet?! and a #Giveaway

I love the formal manners of the Regency era...but sometimes they can be a bit too much. Today I'm at Collette Cameron's blog discussing formality, with particular reference to how well it's portrayed in the BBC series Pride and Prejudice (yes, the one starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle, which I simply can't get enough of, in common with a great many other people).

Also, I'm giving away a copy of To Kiss a Rake (or another of my books--winner's choice). Please come on over, tell me what you like or dislike about formal manners then and now, and you just might win!

See you there!

GOSSIP AND A #GIVEAWAY

Good morning! Today I'm over at Embracing Romance talking about The Scourge of Gossip, and I'm also doing a giveaway.

Gossip is fun to write about in books that have happy endings, but it can be devastating to be the victim of it in real life. Come and comment, and you'll be eligible for the giveaway -- an e-copy of To Kiss a Rake or another of my books, winner's choice.

See you there!
