The sex scenes less about sex as essential to the plot, than that of unexpected delights. ;)<br /><br />best<br />FFrancine Howarthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326542867876257042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233495210852135611.post-24182504053409916642011-07-28T19:24:38.328+01:002011-07-28T19:24:38.328+01:00And to think that those of us who love historical ...And to think that those of us who love historical fiction often earn a rep for being ... well, I've had the word "dull" told to me a few times. :) Ah, if they only knew!<br /><br />P.S.
