I got a review for my book. This has been established. It is from Booklist which I think I mentioned in yesterday's post. To have a review from Booklist is way exciting! To have a review that doesn't say anything bad about your book is a gem. I know when you read it that you might think it sounds rather modest, but I can tell by how this reviewer, (a man no less!), reviews the plot that he enjoyed my book! So, here is it . . .
"It was all the fault of his blasted grandmother’s roses. If the dowager Duchess of Marcross hadn’t insisted that Sir Anthony Crenshaw travel to her country estate to check up on her priceless roses, Anthony would still be comfortably ensconced in his London townhouse rather than rattling around rough country roads with the old termagant’s ward, Ginerva Delacourt. Of course, the journey is fraught with one disaster after another, ultimately culminating in a house party from hell when Anthony and Ginny find themselves staying with a neighbor after Ginny’s maid comes down with a contagious disease. Spending even more time with the opinionated, annoying Ginny seems like the worst sort of holiday imaginable, but much to his surprise, Anthony soon discovers he enjoys battling wits with the always outspoken Miss Delacourt. Ashworth takes some of the stock staples of the traditional regency and gives them her own unique spin in this refreshingly sweet, tartly humorous romance. "

Okay, return to your regularly scheduled programing--post later today . . .
P.S. Gol-darn, I hope this doesn't sound like I am bragging. I'm just sharing. It's just one little book, not the Nobel Peace Prize, right?
