Happy Thursday, everyone! Zeee here from I Heart Romance hosting this weeks' Throwback Thursday: Historical Romance Edition, a feature started by Buried Under Romance and Love Saves the World. I apologize for forgetting to post my TBT last week! I know, I totally forgot about it!
What is Throwback Thursday?
Traditionally, Throwback Thursday celebrates nostalgia, asking participants to post a personal photo or an image from their past -- usually from 5 to 10 years ago. There are a lot of book blogs that also do a book-related Throwback Thursday.
The Historical Romance Edition:
Since Tin of Love Saves the World and I are unapologetic lovers of historical romances, we've decided to focus on our beloved genre.
Here are our rules:
1. It must be posted on a Thursday.
My pick for this week is My Fair Mistress by Tracy Anne Warren, published on October 30, 2007.
BLURB
He drives a hard bargain, but the pleasure is all hers.
London financier Rafe Pendragon has a reputation for ruthlessness, and exotic beauty Julianna Hawthorne is determined to clear the debt her brother owes him. Captivated by Rafe’s virile good looks, weakened by his intoxicating mix of danger and sensuality, Julianna boldly agrees to Rafe’s shocking terms: six months as his mistress. As Rafe’s intense green eyes pierce her body and set it afire, Julianna can only imagine what emotions his kiss may unleash.
Surrendering to the pleasures of seduction and carnal delight, Rafe never anticipated that love would be the cost of his bargain. When he realizes that a vindictive enemy may harm Julianna should their clandestine liaison be exposed, Rafe must choose between loving her and protecting her. To save his fair mistress, Rafe must risk what he has already lost: his heart.

My Thoughts
This is perhaps one of my favorite books by Tracy Anne Warren. In fact, I believe this was the first book that I have read from her and she has become one of my auto-buy authors ever since. I have probably read this book about 5 times and I just love it. It's like every time I read it, I get sucked into the romance between Rafe and Julianna.

ReplyDeleteI love Tracy Anne Warren and this was a great series from her. I think she's writing contemporary right now? I wonder if she's planning to release a historical soon...
ReplyDeleteI read this years ago when I discovered historical romance. I really like Tracy Anne Warren though I'm a bit behind on her latest releases. Thanks for sharing!
