Warlord elizabeth vaughan read online5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Not sure I like the love interest, but I plan on reading more of the series – the heroine and the era interested me.

(It makes me wonder about some HR heroes, it does – do they know how to brush their teeth?!?) HER ROYAL SPYNESS by Rhys Bowen is about these kind of people. One that stuck with me came from a Britsh earl who had to let his servants go after loosing his fortune one of the thing that bewildered him in his new life was how his toothbrush did not foam anymore… turns out, he did not know about dental paste (or was it dental powder? I forget), or how his valet used to always put it on for him. Ahoy! Long post ahead to compensate for Sarah’s short intro! □Ībout 20 years ago, I read a dictionary of citations of outrageous things very rich people used to say. ![]()
