Irresistible Attraction
My Regency Tea Cup Review Ratings
- Five Regency tea cups: The book is not perfect (few books are), but it was well worth its purchase and possesses many outstanding qualities that makes it stand head and shoulders above its counterparts.
- Four Regency tea cups: This book offered many hours of pleasant reading, and I found I could not put it down.
- Three Regency tea cups: Damned with faint praise. I put the book down often, but was intrigued enough to finish it. In this instance, the movie might be better.
- Two Regency tea cups: This book required major changes that the author and editor should have fixed before publishing deadline.
- One Regency tea cup: Oh dear. I do so feel for the trees that sacrificed their lives for this verbal garbage.

Thank you! What a cute post! Happy Mother’s Day!
Love these! thanks!
[...] no entry for Julia, and it is Mother’s Day, I am posting a beautiful image I found on the Jane Austin blog I follow. Share this:TwitterFacebookPinterestEmailLike this:LikeBe the first to like this [...]
I never get tired of seeing Ackermann fashion plates. Love these.
Oooh lovely!! Happy mother’s Day Vic! For me this is a special one since it’s my first :)
I love the gorgeous fashion plates. The models in the last one both look tired and irritated to me. Reminds me of a family photo. ;-)
Love these!
Just when I was feeling all jealous of my american sisters having their mother’s day today (UK one is long gone) there you go and cheer me right up. Lovely!
Vic, thank you so much for these magnificent images!… Sooo adorable, everyone of them!!!…
Now, here’s something timeless:
I love these fashions! And with the children is just exquisite. The 1st to me the woman looks quite voluptuous. The second the bottom half reminds me of a wedding cake. Not that I’m complaining. I think they are amazing. In the 3rd I can just feel the kid trying to get away. The bottom or 4th I like the veil on the woman’s hat. The next I can’t help but notice the parasol and the last they do look tired. Aw, the challenge of parenting.
