Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My teaser comes from page 347:

I hope you're loving Painting Mona Lisa! I did when I read it. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

ReplyDeletesounds good, and I love the cover art. If you want to wander down my road I’m home.
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice over isn't it Kaye and Tiina!
ReplyDeleteLadytink and Leya, I highly recommend reading The Borgia Bride from this author as well.
Alayne and Lezlie, so far so good!
Kiirsten, I nearly put in the section about the hand, and then I read back a bit and realised that this was a more natural teaser!
Thanks for stopping by everyone.
the cover looks fabulous...sounds like a great read
ReplyDeleteDid someone's dad get in a fight? That's what it sounds like, though now I'm curious as to who/what/WHY. Great teaser!
