teaser tuesdayOne of the fun parts of taking part in blog hops (aside from getting to visit new to me blogs) is finding great ways to interact with other book lovers.  This is one:

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of A Daily Rhythm.

Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

He wanted to call out–to stop them–but he could not.

Somewhere in the deep recesses of his mind he knew how to speak.  He even had a vague recollection of the sound of his voice.  He knew what it was to scream, even the joyful release when he did it.  But the word to describe this?  Even though he could sometimes think it, his mouth refused to curve around the word.  For years, his survival had depended on muteness.  Now, he could not seem to make his mouth remember how to form syllables, words, coherent sounds.

The Making of a GentlemanTwelve years in prison has stripped him of his humanity…Saving him is her only chance to escape a terrible fate

Felicity Bennett vows she’ll do whatever it takes to help Armand fight back the demons that have held him captive for so long.

With Felicity’s help, Armand begins to heal, until a buried secret threatens to destroy their growing passion. ~ The Making of a Gentleman by Shana Galen.

    I haven’t read a period romance novel in sooo long! I think I might have to read a bit more before knowing whether it’s one for me! The teaser is pretty gripping though! Thanks for stopping by 🙂 I hope you have a great week!

      I wasn’t sure when I first picked it up at the library. But the idea of a young child going thru the terrors of France during the Revolution, being taken prisoner and finally rescued… was intriguing. At his rescue he is barely human… this is his learning how to be human again – plus a lovely lady to fall in love with – and a dangerous threat to his family to unravel. Overall, it’s a very good, involved story.

      It’s alright. Not every book or genre hits it off with everyone. Fortunately for me, my reading tastes cross into a lot of genre so once a certain “type” gets boring I head off to something else. 🙂

      Glad you stopped over, thanks.

      She is. Of course, like any good Historical she has reasons of her own – but it’s been an enjoyable read so far.

      Thanks for visiting 🙂

      He does, eventually. It’s a complex story, I’m enjoying the layers.

      Thanks for stopping by 🙂

    • Marcy

      I’m enjoying the story. I like ones that are layers deep and not just an easy surface romance.

      Thanks for visiting 🙂

      I search out her book. I do love her novels.

      Thanks for stopping by 🙂

      I think it’s a fair assumption that love will prevail in the end. 😉 It’s really good, almost done with it now.

      Thanks for visiting. 🙂

      It is indeed. Especially since it was a voluntary loss of his voice, a kind of self-protection. But it really is a unique “hook” if you will.

      Thanks for stopping by 🙂

    Yes, it was – to both life and book. One of the reasons I read Historicals is for the history that is captured along with the romance. It was interesting, to me, to imagine what it was like to be on the receiving end of a mob mentality during the French Revolution.

    Thanks for visiting 🙂

      I’m enjoying it. It is slightly different, but it gives the story a totally different feel. It’s a very good read.

      Thanks for visiting 🙂

      Covers really do draw us in, don’t they? I’m enjoying it and should finish it up tonight.

      Thanks for visiting 🙂
