Teaser Tuesday: Song of Seduction by Carrie Lofty

My teaser this week comes from Song of Seduction by Carrie Lofty. When this book came out earlier this year I won a copy of the e-book, but I don't really like reading on the computer so it just sat on the drive. Now that I have my e-reader (have I mentioned that?) there are a few books that I am going to be able to read finally!

This book so far is very enjoyable, not least because it is set in Salzburg and features musicians rather than the usual rich society people who inhabit Regency England, and who proliferate the pages of historical romance normally.

My teaser comes from page 177 of the book, mainly because I haven't actually worked out if it is going to be possible to choose a random page in an ebook and that is where I am up to in the book!

Mathilda dropped to the ground, her knees sinking into the topmost layer of fresh snow. The rough edges of marble lightly scored the pads of her fingers as she traced his name. She had imagined remorseful tears flowing freely, but none came.
Teaser Tuesday is hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading. Head on over to find out all about it, and how to join in!

  1. Hard to tell if she loved him or not.

    Yes, eBooks don't fall open at a random page.

  3. Ooooh! I like that. The cover is so pretty too.

    I didn't know if posting a random page of an ebook would work either. I have yet to get my reader, congrats on yours :)

    Thank you for stopping by my blog :)

  4. Since I got my ereader I boookmark passages that I love and choose the best one from a book for a teaser. It works well - I couldn't think of another way to do it.
    The other thing would be to stop doing teasers and start the First Line Friday meme.
    Your book sounds terrific.
    My teaser is here: Hott Books

  10. Wow, that is a powerful passage...thanks for visiting my blog.

    I don't know if I'll ever be convinced to buy an e-reader. I like curling up with a book!

    But anything is possible....

  16. Here's how I get random books on my e-reader :)
    First you use the 'Go To' feature, and then type in any number u currently have an affection for (say, 1330) and then pick something off that page.
    If you are reading a html book, or something where a spacebar tap gets the next page, I just randomly hold the spacebar for a few seconds and then read whatever is on that page!

    Thanks for visiting e-Volving Books

  17. Sounds like a sad scene. Thanks for stopping by my blog!

  18. That's a really powerful teaser. I've never read this book, but I think I know what she means. She expected to cry, to feel something, but the tears just wouldn't come. She WANTED to cry at that moment, whether the tears would be true or fake. Maybe she's just already numb and can't make the tears flow. It's like when you want to cry but just can't. You'll have to let us know!

  26. I enjoyed that teaser and the cover of the book is lovely.

  27. That teaser was great! I hope that you are enjoying your book!

  28. Carrie, I hope it comes out in print soon so you can read it, as so far it is very good.

    Aisle B, a passion for reading full stop I think, but yes, I do enjoy a good romance especially.

    Shelley, I haven't really had too much of a look at the other books from Carina, but if this is the quality of the books that they have, then I will definitely be reading more!

    Thanks for the tips Deepali!

    Laurel, I am surprised myself, but it seems to be easier to curl up, especially in cold weather. For example, if you are reading a book you hand that you hold the book in gets cold, but so does the hand that you turn the pages with. With this e-reader I can use the same hand to do both.

    Gina, I was intending to do highlight passages as I go through. Will have to do that with my next book that I read on the ereader.

    Thanks everyone for stopping by!

  29. I hadn't considered that with e-books- how are you enjoying using it?
    That teaser sounds so sad, hope things get better for the character.
