Snow!
It snowed this morning! Look!
Alright, we didn’t get snowed in, but I think even a light flurry is a good enough excuse to curl up in the duvet and read a good book whilst sipping endless mugs of hot chocolate. Not that I usually need an excuse, but still…
The more realistic picture however, was me squashed between lots of other commuters this morning, holding my book in one hand, and hanging onto the hand rail for dear life with the other, and therefore unable to turn the page. But the book that got me through all the delays this morning (due to ‘adverse weather conditions’ – at least they had and excuse today), was Mary Balogh’s Simply Unforgettable – I simply can’t get enough of these Regency romances at the moment, and this one is particularly fitting as the hero and heroine meet in a ferocious snow storm…
She is a young teacher with a secret past. He is the cool, black-caped stranger who unexpectedly comes to her rescue. Stranded together in a country inn, Lucius Marshall - the Viscount Sinclair - and Frances Allard share a night of glorious, unforgettable passion. But Frances knows her place – and it is far from the privileged world of the sensual aristocrat. Due to begin her teaching position at Miss Martin’s School in Bath, Frances must try to forget that one extraordinary night – and the man who touched her with such exquisite tenderness and abandon…
You can read it with a shiver of pleasure ;-) This is the first novel in a quartet of books by Balogh, all set in and around a select academy for young ladies. They are really worth a try, and if you like them, then there are 3 more books to come in the Simply series, and she’s also the author of the Slightly series, which follows the romantic (mis)adventures of the Bedwyn family.
Wrap up warm everybody!
