Thanks for featuring these, Wendy!<br /><br />Yes, Richard and Berengaria are a little more secondary in this story because their true story wasn't all that happy. However, I couldn't resist putting a 2nd generation MacEgan in there (Liam) and the story was just so much fun--shipwreck! Overthrowing the emperor! Saving the bride and marrying her on Cyprus! (Did I use enough exclamation marks?)<br /><br />So it was a fun project. I enjoyed writing it. :)michellewillinghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10284183437393142474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-80298146418558825522011-04-08T19:57:36.711-07:002011-04-08T19:57:36.711-07:00Lil Sis: No joke - saw a Prince Albert can the oth...Lil Sis: No joke - saw a Prince Albert can the other day while out with Ma & Pa!<br /><br />Jennifer: Another instance where I'm missing the girl-gene. I like the fancy dresses and open bars - but other than that? Weddings = meh.<br /><br />Anon: You should treat yourself after school is finished!<br /><br />Jami: I have more faith in Will & Kate than I did his parents - since the circumstances are so different. But yeah, it's hard to not be cynical in this day and age....and I say this as a lover of romance novels. I'm not sure what that says about me. Probably nothing good! LOL<br /><br />Joy: I think some of these have a good shot of working for me since so many of the blurbs read like royalty = secondary characters. I'm not a fan of royalty as primary characters. One of my personal quirks.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-22490442527787457362011-04-08T12:55:53.296-07:002011-04-08T12:55:53.296-07:00I know enough history to be unable to suspend my d...I know enough history to be unable to suspend my disbelief enough to read these. Yes, Richard the Lionhearted was probably gay. And, many of these marriages were more political than romantic. The further you go back in history the less "romance" you see. Life was hard and you wanted the best provider, the gal with the best land and moneys, the person with the highest title and the most power to keep you safe and well fed. Just keeping alive and keeping your kids alive meant much more than romance which was a luxury most couldn't afford. I think the historical romance novelist who managed to get at both the reality and write a good romance is Roberta Gellis. She got both the politics and managed to write a convincing romance at the same time.JoyKennnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-8599762160126125662011-04-07T17:46:08.289-07:002011-04-07T17:46:08.289-07:00Not only do I support Vegas elopements, I would ha...Not only do I support Vegas elopements, I would happily settle for a tiny diamond ring - as long as he got me the complete original series of Alfred Hitchcock & Three Investigators. In hardback. (I once found the complete original collection on eBay - for over $3,000!)<br /><br />As for royal wedding fever - I could not care less. We're talking the son of two adulterers. I'm sure he's already cheating on Kate just like mom and dad cheated on each other. The apple doesn't fall far from the inbred tree.<br /><br />Finally, I'm sure Richard would be far more interested in Liam then rescuing his future bride.JamiSingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12756726189949304645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-35102932170267293352011-04-07T15:14:36.341-07:002011-04-07T15:14:36.341-07:00I do not even want to read the blurb of the books ...I do not even want to read the blurb of the books because I know I will want to read all of them and I have school to finish....oh summer please come sooner!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-24385061671899230792011-04-07T13:35:57.136-07:002011-04-07T13:35:57.136-07:00I'm with ya Wendy.

Hawaii doesn't have a waiting period and no witness required. Plus they have sea turtles, volcanoes, and green sand.
