cimoreneprizes over discovery by keiko. the best part is that there are two sequels still to read on the morrow.
::squashes urge to write crossovers:: it's so tempting when two universes you love intersect--like this one and the regency novels set in the napoleonic war. how many returning navy and army heroes have i read? ahh. i could do the grand sophy mayhap. (which i tried to lend to wax, and she refused it. because it was romance. she said from the cover it looked like a bodice-ripper and didn't fully believe me when i said that it wasn't. but it isn't, really. it's a comedy of manners. heyer is lovable for witty dialogue and not for bodice ripping. i mean, if you read heyer for bodice ripping you're going to be sorely disappointed because the bodices barely come up at all, certainly not in any very suggestive way.)
