Here are the rules:

• Grab your current read
• Let the book fall open to a random page
• Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• You also need to share the title of the book where you get your teaser from…that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given
• Please avoid spoilers

This week’s teaser:

"As her priest rose to go, she gave one last, shining smile and said, ‘One moment, Monsieur le Curé, and we will go away together.’ Her lungs–never strong, now utterly defeated–rattled out the last breath of air." pg. 217 Sex With Kings: Five Hundred Years of Adultery, Power, Rivalry, and Revenge by Eleanor Herman

So far, I’m finding that I like Herman’s writing style very much. She makes history tantalizing…it doesn’t hurt that her subject matter gave her much to work with.
