I just picked up Eleven Scandals to Start to Win a Duke's Heart by Sarah MacLean. I have enjoyed her other books and was looking forward to a Regency romance.

Beginning:
In retrospect, there were four actions Miss Juliana Fiori should have reconsidered that evening.
Friday 56:


The ton traded on information, and Hyde Park on a beautiful day was the ideal place for the exchange of such a commodity.

It was only a matter of time until his family was made the commodity of the day.

  1. Oh I like that opening - I wonder what those actions were and why she should have reconsidered them! Great beginning!

  4. My family was the commodity today, at my brothers funeral. AT least that's kinda how it felt.
    Thanks for participating!
