Regency London's most celebrated courtesan, The Blackbird,
was a woman before her time–uninhibited, financially
independent, and free to live by her own rules. Schooled in
the sensual arts by the one man she loved the most, she
recorded every wicked detail in her diaries...
When Boston museum curator Piper Chase-Pierpont unearths
The Blackbird's steamy memoirs, she's aroused and
challenged by what she finds. Could the courtesan's diaries
be used as a modern girl's guide to finding love and
empowerment? One curious curator–and one very lucky man–are
about to find out...
The seven sins. HMMM. I think I have committed a couple...LOL I am really looking forward to reading A CORTESAN'S GUIDE TO GETTING YOUR MAN. It sounds wonderful. koonie2888 (Michelle Bledsoe 10:01am May 23, 2011)
Advanced Reading Edition "Thank you !" Celeste Bradley and Susan Donovan.I liked the mix of historical romance set in 19th Century and present time.The plot, storyline and characters are well written and very likable.The villains were well thought out ...you cant help hate them !I preferred Ophelias story (19th century) to Pipers (present time) as the story seemed a little rushed at the beginning.As the story unfolded (present time gradually came to the right pace) I liked how both worlds intertwined from chapter to chapter. I loved the twists in the ending (19th century)!! Present time was a little cheesy though. All in all I truly liked this book and I recommend it! ♥ :) ***Warring explicit sex *** (Jeannie Doucette 4:57pm May 23, 2011)
Who says sins are a bad thing??!! They all sound like winners to me! Good luck and happy writing! (Tracie Travis 12:15pm May 26, 2011)
I guess I really like sinning! (Pam Howell 9:05am May 26, 2011)
Without those seven sins, how can anyone have any fun??? Can't wait to read the book!!! (Dawn Staniszeski 9:34am May 26, 2011)
I am terribly guilty of # 3 & 5, cant wait to read this one!sounds like a really good patio swing escape! (Deborah Rudd 9:35am May 26, 2011)
Well, after reading your blog entry, I must say that I began to put on a bit of a sweat!! lol This book will definately be put at the top of my TBR list!! Now I'll have to wait until I go into town again, since it's a 60 mile round-trip drive, and we only go there once or twice a month to get groceries for the month along with other necessities. The wait is going to kill me, but I'll have to live through it. You have to have quite the imagination to come up with a book like that, and I have quite the deck to sit on with the perfect drink to read it!! Thank you for the perfect book that I need to sit out here in the country with the birds and not only enjoy the scenery, but will be able to spend part of my summer with you as well!! (Peggy Roberson 11:12am May 26, 2011)

Oooh you make the 7 sins sound really really tempting with your book! Thanks for sharing! (Colleen Conklin 1:58pm May 26, 2011)

I've been known to commit a few sins. Sometimes you just have no self control over your urges. (Jane Cheung 4:03pm May 26, 2011)
#1 Lust is right up my alley, #2 to find the Appetite of your blog and book not lacking, #3 I would find some idleness to be loss in such a novel, #4 definitely covet a copy, #5 I am a firm believer in indulgence and can't wait to sink into a great book, #6 the wrath I feel is when I have to get to other things. #7 I think you should be proud of writing such an sinful book and blog (Carla Carlson 4:18pm May 26, 2011)
Only 7 sins? I have committed them all. I think the 8th sin should be I am waiting for the next book since this one was so wonderful.
