I mentioned it because a lot of readers thought Ginna Gray ripped her story off Robards's ONE SUMMER. I still can't see similiarities, hence me asking if you'd read it. :>losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08442753250306506463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-1119403461047425172005-06-21T21:24:00.000-04:002005-06-21T21:24:00.000-04:00Maili: Oh dear, yes I read it after you gave it a ...Maili: Oh dear, yes I read it after you gave it a rec.

I almost blinded myself trying her two other books. <BR/><BR/>Patricia Veryan - her writing style is a bit too peculiar for my taste. I can't remember why, though. Funny enough, one of her books MANDARIN OF MAYFAIR is on my wish list. Hm. <BR/><BR/>Pamela Clare is new to me. Will look up her book some day. <BR/><BR/>The rest? Fabulous. The public restroom?

They are trad books published by Fawcett Crest though they take place in Georgian times rather than regency. Four of them made my all time top 100. They can be hard to find though, maybe good on a wish list :)<BR/>And I loved the scene in O&A when Tory came back and Jason thought she was dead. You're right. sigh.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.com
