Miranda Neville<\/strong><\/span><\/a> is a mind reader.\u00a0 She’s uncovered (no pun intended) the topic I’m going to discuss on the blog next week. And she must also know my tastes in historicals as she clearly identified my Achilles heel when it comes to story lines. I don’t know about you, but I cannot resist the ‘heroine disguised as a boy’ plotline. It gets me every time. It’s a must buy for me. Then of course, who can resist talk of French pastries, you know those ‘little puffy things’? Needless to say, I bought Never Resist Temptation <\/strong><\/span>and enjoyed every word of Miranda’s unique spin on it. I also admit to having a nice chuckle when I read her post for today. I’ll let you judge for yourself as I ask you to join me in extending a warm welcome to Miranda Neville.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"mirandaneville\"<\/a>I\u2019ve been thinking about covers lately. Not because The Season<\/strong><\/span><\/a> is holding a cover contest, though that is a good reason. But because I recently got my first look at the cover for my next book.<\/p>\n

A big issue with historicals is accuracy. Not just the heroine\u2019s hair color or the hero\u2019s eyes, but the clothing they wear (or almost wear). We writers tend to be way too hung up on this. After all, Regency writers know stuff like what was in fashion in 1809 as opposed to 1819. But does anyone else care? When I get too obsessed I think about medievals. As far as I\u2019m concerned, if it\u2019s got a man with a great big sword on the cover it\u2019s medieval. The Middle Ages lasted hundreds of years, yet when I pick up a medieval I don\u2019t go \u201cOMG she\u2019s wearing a wimple! That is SO two centuries ago.\u201d Perhaps the average reader doesn\u2019t greatly care if the Regency gown looks a touch Victorian.<\/p>\n

In case anyone out there still thinks authors chose their covers, let me disabuse you of the notion. You\u2019re lucky if you even see it before it\u2019s ready to go. I was happy when I saw the cover for NEVER RESIST TEMPTATION<\/strong><\/span> for the first time. The hero is cute, the heroine has the right color hair, and I like the design and the color scheme. I got over the fact that the gown is not in period, I can\u2019t figure out how it stays up, and the heroine never wears purple. Actually she spends much of the book wearing pants. (And I can say pants because I\u2019m in 21st century mode here).<\/p>\n

Never Resist Temptation<\/strong><\/span>
\nAuthor: Miranda Neville
\nPublisher: Avon
\nPub. Date: May 26
\nISBN-13: 978-0061734083
\n384 pages<\/span><\/p>\n

Beautiful, spirited Jacobin de Chastelux would have been the perfect prize for any man … but she never imagined one would win her at a game of cards! When she learns that her dissolute, dastardly uncle and guardian had wagered her virtue–and lost–she flees. A cunning disguise and her culinary talents land her in the royal kitchen as a chef. All is well until her uncle dines with the prince and is poisoned by one of her pastries. Jacobin must escape again … to the home of the very man who won her in that infamous game!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Lord Storrington knows nothing of the true identity of the new cook. All he knows is that things are heating up–and the sparks aren’t coming from the stove. A delicious ecstasy tempts the scoundrel and the chef … one that can only end with sweet, sweet surrender.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"thewildmarquis_blog\"<\/a>I am even happier with the cover for THE WILD MARQUIS<\/span><\/strong>. The heroine\u2019s gorgeous blond hair is perfect and she does wear red in one scene. The gown has a high Regency waist. Then there\u2019s the hero\u2019s shirt\u2026 Now if you\u2019re going to get picky, early nineteenth century men\u2019s shirts didn\u2019t unbutton all the way so you can\u2019t get that off-the-shoulder look without ripping. Yet (mild spoiler alert) at no point in THE WILD MARQUIS<\/strong><\/span> does the heroine rip off the hero\u2019s shirt. I apologize for this fact and promise to do better next time.<\/p>\n

THE WILD MARQUIS <\/strong><\/span>won\u2019t be out until March but I\u2019m running a contest on my website to celebrate the arrival of the cover. Come on over to www.mirandaneville.com<\/a> to win some books. In the meantime, two commenters will win copies of NEVER RESIST TEMPTATION<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s talk covers. Do you prefer hero, heroine or clinch covers? Is historical accuracy important to you? What would you like to see more of? Chest hair? Bare butts? Tasteful period artwork?<\/p>\n

Ever since the horrible day her brother was accused of treason, Patience Mandeley hasn’t recognized her own behaviour. Under normal circumstances she would never be disguised as a maid, skulking around an earl’s estate for secrets she isn’t meant to find. But now the situation is desperate, and Patience will do whatever it takes to spare her beloved brother the noose, even if it means finding the true spy herself. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

To do that, she’ll have to gain access to the estate of Lord Londringham, the most desired bachelor in all of England-without him knowing who she really is. But even in her maid’s uniform, she can’t miss the looks of unsuppressed desire she receives from her employer, and she finds to her dismay that the attraction is quite mutual. Though she knows she must ignore her feelings for this dark-haired rogue to save her family and escape ruin, his close proximity is making all reason impossible…and Patience may find that the real traitor is her own body.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
