The excerpt for Beau Crusoe is up at the Historicals page over at eHarlequin. You can check it out here. It appears to have been cut and pasted from the opening of the book, as usual. But I think perhaps there were technical difficulties or operator errors, because a couple of the sentences make strange jumps in topic and point of view. :shrug: I have faith that the jumps are just a technical glitch and not Kelly's work.

And here's the back blurb:

Stranded alone on a desert island, he had lived to tell the tale. A triumphant return to the ton saw James Trevenen hailed as Beau Crusoe—a gentleman of spirit, verve and action. But only he knew the true cost of his survival!

Susannah Park had been shunned by Society. She lived content with her calm existence…until Beau Crusoe determinedly cut up her peace! The beautiful widow wanted to help him heal the wounds of the past—but what secrets was this glorious man hiding?


I tend to discount CK's back blurbs, as they are often quite inaccurate...but even the bare bones of this (shipwreck and abandon followed by eventual readjustment to "society") sounds interesting.

No, not about Dan Radcliffe's nekkid photos to promote Equus, which have been dissected and squeed over everywhere, from WaPo to fandoms.

The date has been set! July 21st!   Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released on July 21st.

I'm sure there's wild rejoicing and speculation going on in HP fora everywhere :)

I've had Colleen Gleason's The Rest Falls Away on my night stand for 3 weeks. It didn't really grab me, so I set it to the side. This past week, though, work and life have just been kicking my @ss. Very little time to read. I picked TRFA up again, thinking it was an interruptable book -- it wouldn't bother me if I only had time to read 5-10 pages, then had to put it down.

It took all week to finish, but here are my thoughts in a nutshell. Major spoilers included. )
