Um, I was kind of thinking of avoiding grief for BB and DL by not mentioning it. The author was #1 in last year's author's behaving badly faffes.

Shall I keep teasing or fess up now? :p

Oh, put everyone out of their misery and fess up! (I think she ought to become BFF with Alice Hoffman. Though one author features half-naked Scotsmen on her covers and the other writes literary fiction, they appear to have a lot in common now.)

This would be a title that has appeared on your famous 'Wallbanger Wednesday' slot perchance?
Les proz e les vassals
Souvent entre piez de chevals
Kar ja li coard n’I chasront

'The Brave and the valiant
Are always to be found between the hooves of horses
For never will cowards fall down there.'

You asked for it.....

Page 15,
"He was handsome - no, beautiful. The air surrounding this dark warrior seemed to stir as scorching energy discharged from him with the sizzle and crackle of lightning."
Page 33,
"Tamlyn felt the pull of his ensorcelling eyes."
Page 39, (he's barely met the chick),
"Desire rolled through his entire body like thunder"
