Bring 'em on! hehe.<br /><br />I think it's very novel, considering the upheveal that was going on in France at the time, their revolution, then Napeleon, but the French, up until this time had a very strong nobility class. In a way, it's sad to have it ended like it did.<br /><br />I've always loved the idea of hero being of foreign nobility. I'm particularly attracted to Russian, German, and Hungarian nobility. <br /><br />I hope you don't mind my asking, but what inspired you to make the hero French in your story? <br /><br /><br />It sounds like a great book, one I would love to read. <br />Smiles<br />StephStephanie Burkhart https://www.blogger.com/profile/16952130018587727063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305640310502393746.post-33135117731291927362010-06-10T09:29:04.426-04:002010-06-10T09:29:04.426-04:00Interesting!

I also love Victorian era heroes who are not British. Don't get me wrong, I love those novels set in Britain. But--a change of scenery and a hero of a different nationality--American even!--really piques my interest.<br /><br />I love different, new, and exciting and your book sounds like all of these things!Lilly Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12085355337721818824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305640310502393746.post-64805939750166420662010-06-10T09:21:01.665-04:002010-06-10T09:21:01.665-04:00It sounds like a wonderful read. i would love to w...It sounds like a wonderful read. i would love to win a copy.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833462869697796680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305640310502393746.post-48762848460909870722010-06-10T08:59:46.474-04:002010-06-10T08:59:46.474-04:00Welcome Shana.
