Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
Irene would have been nothing short of ravishing at the marriageable age of eighteen or nineteen, Evangeline thought. But looks and intelligence were not always sufficient when it came to the business of marriage, because marriage was a business transaction and everyone knew it.

Interesting outlook on marriage!! (Although, in certain situations I get it!) Great teaser!
Stop by and see my Top Ten / Teaser Tuesday!
thanks! it was more common in older times
That’s not a very romantic attitude about marriage! But I guess it reflects the time setting of the book. Is this historical romance?
My teaser is from Deadly Pleasures.
yeah historical romance! you guessed it.
How pragmatic.
Here is my teaser
it is that! thanks
I hope she gets to marry for love even if it is a business transaction! My teaser is here: http://lostinsidethecovers.wordpress.com/2012/05/08/teaser-tuesday-may-8/
I expect she will!
Marriage was definitely a business in those days. Are you enjoying this? I’ve just finished listening to Quicksilver on audio and enjoyed it very much.
Here’s My Teaser
I liked Quicksliver and I am enjoying this one too.
Very old fashioned outlook on marriage!
