…with a hero from a book that’s not even out yet! Oh, lordy am I in love with this guy. And I must put all the blame on Charlotte Featherstone since she created him.
Have you heard of Charlotte? She wrote Addicted which came out with Harlequin Spice earlier this year. Lovely cover. Interesting read. The hero is addicted to opium! Yes, so scandalous. There’s a character in that book, a man named Wallingford. He gets his own book and it’s called Sinful. Let’s check that cover out shall we?
Oh boy. That is major hotness. I stumbled upon her blog hmm I don’t know quite how I did it but I started reading…and reading. You see, she shares excerpts from Sinful. And she even shares excerpts that weren’t included in the book. Delicious glimpses into that yummy YUMMY Lord Wallingford and what makes him tick.
I want him. There I said it. I want him, I want to read that book and I have no idea how I’m going to be able to wait until May of 2010. Maybe I can bribe Charlotte into sending me an ARC or something. I met her in DC at the RWA conference and she was very nice. She is friends with my bud Tracy Wolff and well, I found them giggling on the couch in the lobby on the hotel so I joined them and had a few giggles myself.
Maybe Charlotte remembers me? Hmm, I doubt it. Maybe she’ll pity me and my love for Wallingford. Sigh…I haven’t felt this anxious for a new book coming out in a long time. This is what I love. Even though I’m an author and I write stories for others to enjoy I am also first and foremost a READER. And boy do I love it when I find a good read.
If you like historicals with brooding, romantic, sexy heroes then go over to Charlotte’s blog and read up on Wallingford. I encourage you to do so. You won’t regret it. Well, you might regret the wait for reading all of Wallingford but that’s about it. Oh, he’s dreamy…
What are you anxiously awaiting to read? Anything new and exciting coming up that you can’t wait to get your hot little hands on? My reading budget just got slashed. Majorly slashed. And of course all sorts of goodies are coming out and I’m jonesin’…

I’ve been meaning to grab a copy of Charlotte Featherstone’s book. I’ve read some of her earlier epub stuff and enjoyed it. I have to agree about the cover for Sinful. He is gorgeous!
I haven’t really looked ahead at the coming books. I have enough waiting for my attention as it is!
Karen says:
Addicted was good Shelley. I recommend it. I think Sinful is going to be even better. Sigh…
Charlotte Featherstone says:
A little a birdie told that you’ve got it hard for Wallingford!
I think it’s funny how many readers hearts he captured in Addicted. Although, I shouldn’t because out of all the characters that I’ve written, he holds my heart. I adore how darkly beautiful he is, and I’m so happy to hear you’re anxious for his book.
Send me your snail mail addy, and I’ll send you an ARC (they usually arrive around 6wks prior to release date)
And what are you talking about….I remember you!!!!
