I just finished Winterling by Sarah Prineas. What a good book! This is MG fantasy at its best, with a very relatable protagonist, a great big evil to defeat, and a wonderful supporting cast of characters. Heroine Fer really sealed the deal, though. She is a caring, brave girl who refuses to let her fears stop her from doing what her heart compels her to.
| “Ah.” The Lady fell silent. When she spoke the edge had left her voice. She almost sounded sad. “Our oaths and our rules bind us together, Gwynnefar. When an oath is broken there is a price. And it is always more than the oath breaker can pay.” |
While browsing the comments at Dear Author, I discovered The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie by Jennifer Ashley. The hero has Asperger’s, which immediately caught my interest. I purchased it for my Kindle, and so far, I am finding it a hard to put 
down read. Ian is proving to be a very unique character, to say the least.
| Beth blinked. “I beg your pardon?” “I said, you could marry me. I don’t give a damn about your fortune.” “My lord, why on earth should you ask me to marry you?” “Because you have beautiful eyes.” “How do you know?" You’ve not once looked at them.” “I know.” |
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!
I love the first one! And how true!
My teaser for this week
I’m not big on romances, but your teasers are good.
I love these teasers. The first reminds me a bit of Breadcrumbs, lovely writing. The second caught my attention because of it having a hero with Aspergers, how fascinating. I normally don’t read romance, but I may have to grab this one.
Oh, I was so distracted by your awesome teasers that I forgot to add My teaser is here.
@Donna – oh, I loved Winterling, so I will have to give Breadcrumbs a go. The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie is hard to put down. Both protags are holding my interest….
That first one is so true, and I really like your second teaser too! Thanks for sharing!

Both are great teasers, Julie! Still haven’t read Winterling, although it’s on my tbr list & I absolutely loved Ian’s book & I love the teaser you’ve chosen for it. Ian is definitely unique hero & one of my favs
Actually, all the books in the series are quite good. Happy reading!
