Jennieke Cohen's Dangerous Alliance ended up being a lovely read with a lot of Jane Austen references, which is generally a huge bonus for me. The characters were often discussing or reading her works -- the final part of Emma having just been published. It took me far too long to get through it because life is ... blah. But if you like Austen and Regencies and their ilk, I would recommend this. And there's no smut. Hardly even any kissing. I do love a good bodice ripper once in a while but I was glad that this is written more YA-friendly.
And just an FYI : I am absolutely not a fan of the new blogger interface so far.
At all.
