In the Dragon’s Eye is where I share the books I’ve got my acquisitive eye on: the ones I’m really excited about and hope to read and perhaps add to the hoard. I also link to “Waiting On” Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. Cover links take you to Goodreads; all blurbs are also from Goodreads.
Lord Dashwood Missed Out (Tessa Dare)
A snowstorm hath no fury like a spinster scorned!
Miss Elinora Browning grew up yearning for the handsome, intelligent lord-next-door…but he left England without a word of farewell. One night, inspired by a bit too much sherry, Nora poured out her heartbreak on paper. Lord Dashwood Missed Out was a love letter to every young lady who’d been overlooked by gentlemen—and an instant bestseller. Now she’s on her way to speak in Spindle Cove when snowy weather delays her coach. She’s forced to wait out the storm with the worst possible companion: Lord Dashwood himself.
And he finally seems to have noticed her.
George Travers, Lord Dashwood, has traveled the globe as a cartographer. He returned to England with the goal of marrying and creating an heir–only to find his reputation shredded by an audacious, vexingly attractive bluestocking and her poison pen. Lord Dashwood Missed Out, his arse. Since Nora Browning seems to believe he overlooked the passion of a lifetime, Dash challenges her to prove it.
She has one night.
Why I want to read it:
- Tessa Dare writes sparkling, witty romances with heart. She’s rapidly becoming one of my auto-read historical romance authors.
- I’ve enjoyed the other Spindle Cove books I’ve read.
- The premise of this one makes me giggle!

This sounds like a fun read. Historical romance is hit and miss with me, but I’m always on the look out for good ones. I hope you enjoy this one!

Tessa Dare is the best, isn’t she? I actually have read this, and it’s adorable. Not my favorite Tessa Dare, BUT we get to see a lot of the characters from previous Spindle Cove books which is AWESOME!

She’s a lot of fun! I’m looking forward to reading this. It’s a novella, so it shouldn’t take me long — once it shows up on my Kindle, that is. 🙂

I’ve preordered, so I’ll probably read and review sometime after it comes out. 🙂
