I realize 100 yrs ago and more, this was the norm to join families and gain more influence or increase their lands and to keep a Baron, Lord, etc from losing his home and lands due to someone gambling it away etc. I know that there were many 100's of girls sold more or less to keep their family going or to marry into royalty to better themselves at the girls expense. She could be beaten, locked away, and no one would help her as she now belonged to her husband.<br /><br />follower<br /><br />https://twitter.com/#!/misskallie2000/status/173263271250497536<br /><br />misskallie2000 at yahoo dot commisskallie2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/09235631978482541630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133365763100301977.post-8910585670505384342012-02-21T13:09:52.560-05:002012-02-21T13:09:52.560-05:00I would like to see the arranged marriage trope tu...I would like to see the arranged marriage trope turned on its head.<br /><br />Blog follower<br />+1 Tweeted: https://twitter.com/#!/Margay/status/172019309214838784Margay Leah Justicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15490126898758440254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133365763100301977.post-72725241189624631702012-02-21T12:40:38.366-05:002012-02-21T12:40:38.366-05:00Eepppp!

I always love the second chance at love trope, it's my favorite.<br /><br />Barbed1951 at aol dot comBarbara E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10042665559975481397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133365763100301977.post-73649770396611033692012-02-20T19:04:04.407-05:002012-02-20T19:04:04.407-05:00Oh, posted this giveaway on my sidebar

I don't understand how a historical can be set in the present. But I love the sound of the book. I had no idea there were virgin widows, courtesans and even harem girls. Very unbelievable. How gullible of historical romances are we supposed to be??<br /><br />And Carrie, I agree, I think the cover is beautiful. I love her dress and the archway of flowers in the background. Quite obviously I haven't read anything in the series or I would understand your present day comment.<br /><br />As for tropes I'd like to see turned on their heads, this isn't my speciality as I read YA almost exclusively, but the unwilling bride is one I get tired of in the few romance novels I read. It's usually Scottish Highlanders (love the kilts!) Clan marriages to make peace or stronger unions, or gain land. That kind of thing is worn out!!<br /><br />Heather GFC name Buried in Books<br />hrose2931 at gmail dot com<br /><br /><br />https://twitter.com/#!/Imburiedinbooks/status/171678198185213952<br /><br />https://twitter.com/#!/Imburiedinbooks/status/171678473713229824<br /><br />Had to tweet twice b/c made a mistake!<br /><br />Heather<br />I'm so tech savvy!!
