Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. 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!
My teaser this week comes from The Duke’s Perfect Wife by Jennifer Ashley. I really like Ms. Ashley’s historical voice, and this series in particular, so I’m looking forward to digging deeper into this one.
It was said that he knew every pleasure a woman desired and exactly how to give it to her. Hart wouldn’t ask what the lady wanted, and she might not even know herself, but she would understand once he’d finished.
page 1, The Duke’s Perfect Wife
Lady Eleanor Ramsay is the only one who knows the truth about Hart Mackenzie. Once his fiancée, she is the sole woman to whom he could ever pour out his heart.
Hart has it all—a dukedom, wealth, power, influence, whatever he desires. Every woman wants him—his seductive skills are legendary. But Hart has sacrificed much to keep his brothers safe, first from their brutal father, and then from the world. He’s also suffered loss—his wife, his infant son, and the woman he loved with all his heart though he realized it too late.
Now, Eleanor has reappeared on Hart’s doorstep, with scandalous nude photographs of Hart taken long ago. Intrigued by the challenge in her blue eyes—and aroused by her charming, no-nonsense determination—Hart wonders if his young love has come to ruin him . . . or save him.

I am reading occasional historical romances recently, and finding them very refreshing…a nice change. This one sounds good.

Laurel – I’ve started reading more historicals in the last six months too, after a long absence from reading the genre. I’m enjoying them too.

Fantastic teaser..I’ve not had the chance to read this book.

It’s a great series, although the books are stand alone. I recommend them.
May 29th, 2012 at 5:02 am · Link
Scandalous nude photos…hmm…
This book sounds great. I’ve not read a historical in a long time. I may need to add this to my TBR list!

Try the first book in this series – The Madness of Lord Ian McKenzie. It’s my favorite and is really different. Lord Ian is just an awesome character.

ooo, this looks like fun, even if he is a little over-confident.

I’m sure the heroine will puncture his confidence at some stage.
