#1 Angelique Beauchamp, the widowed Countess of
Devonshire, has been twice burned by love, and she is
certain that no man will ever touch her heart again. But
that doesn't mean she can't indulge a little—and it would be
hard to find a more perfect dalliance than one with the
dashing Captain James Montgomery. After a brief
torrid affair, James tries to forget Angelique and his
undeniable thirst for more. The luscious lady was quite
clear that their liaison was temporary. But for the first
time, the lure of the sea isn't powerful enough to keep him
away...

Re: Much Ado About Jack
i loved shakespeare stories i think he would of liked it he
was a creator a he had to be someone who imagine thingswho
could make up incredible stories in his head to be able to
write stories so i think he would of liked it
(Denise Smith 6:44am February 13, 2014)
Thank you so much for coming by Denise! :) I think if Shakespeare had
been able to meet Prinny he would have become bigger than Byron in
Regency England LOL
(Christy English 7:13am February 13, 2014)
Fresh Fiction, thank you so much for hosting me! I am thrilled to be here.
I am trapped by snow away from my internet connection but I'll be
hanging out with you today via Smartphone. I hope it stays smart! LOL
(Christy English 7:15am February 13, 2014)
I think Shakespeare would have been a Jane Austen fan... :-
))) So... he would have liked it!
(Linda Townsend 7:37am February 13, 2014)
This sounds like a great book I'd love to read. Thanks so much for the chance to win a copy!!!
(Bonnie Capuano 8:49am February 13, 2014)
Shakespeare would have been shocked that women were writing novels in Regency England.
(Doris Losey 8:58am February 13, 2014)
Your book sounds great. Thank you for the chance to win. I loved your views in your blog today. I think Shakespeare would not have been surprised by anything ... he would have made it all fodder for a new story of his own.
(Nancy Reynolds 9:30am February 13, 2014)
I think even Shakespeare would be speechless for a few
moments. Then I'm sure he'd come up with something. ;-)
(Karin Anderson 9:46am February 13, 2014)
I think he would be inspired to write different stories. Thanks for the
opportunity to win. Your story sounds great!
(Kelly Powell 10:22am February 13, 2014)
I think he could have fun with it. It would definitely be very different but he would still be masterful with that period, but in a more subtle way.
(Pam Howell 10:28am February 13, 2014)
Shakespeare would have been delighted and used this as
inspiration.
(Sharon Berger 10:49am February 13, 2014)
I think he would have been suprised at the period :) and
secretly pleased.
(Dianne McVetty 11:01am February 13, 2014)
I believe Shakespeare would be taken aback by the Industrial Revolution. I also think that as far as Jane Auten is concerned, he would handle her one of two ways, had he been able to be alive then. His ego would have made him continue to try and outdo her, or he would try and collaborate with her, to see what they could come up with. That would make an interesting concept!! I love reading about England, and this book is no exception!! It would make a nice addition to the books I have for the end of Winter and early Spring. The cover is very elegant, yet a little on the naughty side, too!! Congratulations on what I'm sure will be a hit!!
(Peggy Roberson 11:02am February 13, 2014)
LOVE the title! I can't wait to read it!
(Maria Proctor 12:09pm February 13, 2014)
i love history and then the cover is great d would love to read this and blog for you can not get enough history
and love to read them
(Desiree Reilly 12:10pm February 13, 2014)
I think he would first be shocked but then enjoy it!
(Sue Galuska 12:22pm February 13, 2014)
I'm sure he would have been astonished but adapted.
(Angela Daffern 2:35pm February 13, 2014)
I personally don't think that Shakespeare would have been at all surprised by Jane Austen. I think he might have been more surprised by how long it took for a woman to be accepted as an author under her own name.
Later,
Lynn
(Lynn Rettig 2:39pm February 13, 2014)
Love the cover! I think that Shakespeare would have inspired!
(Colleen Conklin 2:52pm February 13, 2014)
wow~~can REALLY relate to the 4 point plan... except I am a
divorcee, and have yet to become fab wealthy... but I ALWAYS
wear what I WANT in my signature AMETHYST color palette!!
would love to read this, TY for the chance to win it
(Michelle Omalley 3:10pm February 13, 2014)
I believe Shakespeare would have found it all wonderfully
ridiculous! He would have been just as inspired by the
happenings and worked them into his writings.
(Michelle Whitwam 3:48pm February 13, 2014)
I think Shakespeare would have shook his head in unbelief, then set about writing his own story in that time period thinking he could do it better.
(Brenda Rumsey 5:12pm February 13, 2014)
I think Shakespeare would've had a field day in Regency
England.
(Margay Roberge 5:41pm February 13, 2014)
The Regency would have just been another interesting challenge for Shakespeare's writing.
(Sue Farrell 6:37pm February 13, 2014)
new author to me. Regency England is one of my most fav genres. sounds like a great read
(Barbara Studer 7:56pm February 13, 2014)
I have not read this genre. I am looking forward to reading
it.
(Denise Austin 8:20pm February 13, 2014)
I think her would have been amazed by the manners and (outward) propriety of the nobility, so different from the way their outward behavior in Elizabethan times.
(Janie McGaugh 8:22pm February 13, 2014)
Wow, Congrats on your new book: MUCH ADO ABOUT JACK. I love
the book cover too! I believe that Shakespeare and Jane
Austen would have made a great pair writing great books and
plays together as a pair. They could have put together lots
of wonderful stories. I would love to win and read your book
in the New Year 2014. Thank You very much. Cecilia CECE
(Cecilia Dunbar Hernandez 8:39pm February 13, 2014)
I think he would be surprised then pleased.
(Jean Benedict 8:58pm February 13, 2014)
Shakespeare would possibly be shock but surprise and probably
or hopefully write something from that time period
(Sandy Xiong 9:09pm February 13, 2014)
Would love to win a copy of this book.
(Tina Lechuga 11:09pm February 13, 2014)
I think the Regency would have inspired Shakespeare to write a whole slew of new stories!
(Marcy Shuler 11:12pm February 13, 2014)
I do love your "What would ______ think" articles, Christy!
I'm not sure Shakespeare would be too horribly surprised by
Jane Austen after all he lived during the reign of
Elizabeth. And I agree with others that he'd find
inspiration from the Regency.
Still love, love, love the cover of Much Ado About Jack!!
(Glenda Martillotti 11:26pm February 13, 2014)
I think Shakespeare would find the clothing rather plain. After the heavy, sumptuous fabrics of his day, the plain dress that the men wore and the filmy dresses of the women might have been a bit much for him. I also think by the Regency people bathed a bit more than they did in his time. People were more apt to lose their lives for their political beliefs in Shakespeare's time than in Austen's. The American Revolution was fought because middle class merchants rebelled against paying taxes. Wouldn't have happened with Queen Elizabeth. Interesting vein of thought!
(Marcia Berbeza 11:39pm February 13, 2014)
There would some items that Shakespeare would be quite fascinated about like a pistol for one and steam engine for another. Technology has changed since the 1500's. Society will be a little loose about the woman's right and privilege in the Regency and the fashion.
(Kai Wong 12:08pm February 14, 2014)
I think he would be fascinated!
Love the book!
(May Pau 9:54am February 14, 2014)
I think he would be stunned at first. Everything he new was gone or it had changed but his writers inspiration would kick in and he would do what all writers do best--write.
(Sharon Extine 3:27pm February 14, 2014)
I think that Shakespeare would find plenty to write about
that's for sure.
(Mary Preston 8:46pm February 15, 2014)
No question, he would have been a Jane Austen fan!
(MaryAnne Banks 1:15pm February 16, 2014)
Shakespeare would fit in and love the relationships, mores
and morals which befitted the Regency period.
(Alyson Widen 4:35pm February 16, 2014)
I wonder... I think that it would all be fodder for his
writing... maybe someone needs to write a book where he is a
vampire living in later times and still writing...
(Vanessa Primer 6:28pm February 18, 2014)
loved it!
