Love in the Time of Dragons

Author: Katie MacAlister

Publication: Signet; Original edition (May 4, 2010)

Beginning:

"You're going to be on your knees saying prayers for hours if Lady Alice finds you here."

Page 56; 5th sentence:

With a snarl, he lunged at me, moving so fast I could barely follow him. I didn't even have time to scream before he spun me around, ripping off my cloak and shredding my surcoat. I ran forward, sobbing, intent on escaping the suddenly mad warrior, but he caught me, pressing me into the wall as he tore the cotte until only my chemise his my skin from his view.

I'm a bit past that part. Never fear, the mad warrior only wanted to see if the speaker had a tattoo on her back.

Thus far this is a light read with an extemely sarcastic heroine.
