HaBO: Trapped in a Wine Cellar, Forced to Marry
This HaBO is from Cynthia, who is looking for this historical romance: I’m looking for a book I read as a teenager. Traditional Regency romance read around 2008–2011, but likely older. Heroine attends a party/house party and gets trapped overnight in a wine cellar with the hero (who has a long possibly European name). During the night, a murder occurs.

Kickass Women in History: Jacquotte Delahaye and Anne Dieu-le-Veut
This month I give you a buccaneer who probably didn’t really exist and one who probably did. Both of them have come down through history as legendary figures though there’s little actual physical evidence of their lives. Still, never let it be said that I passed up the chance to share a good legend, especially if there’s a chance that at least part of it may be true. A word about words: ‘pirate’ is a … Continue reading Kickass Women in History: Jacquotte Delahaye and Anne Dieu-le-Veut
