The book is Hope Tarr's Vanquished from Medallion Press. And although I'm only a few pages--maybe 20 into it, so far so good! I'm not one of those people who just can't put a book down--no matter what the book, I can put it down. I never stay up all night reading...about 12:30 is my limit... Anyway...the book is set in Victorian England, where the heroine is a suffragette leader and the hero a photographer. She needs portraits done, and someone in the Parliament, interested in quelling the vote for women, hires him to seduce her and capture 'her downfall' on film. I'm totally titillated! Confession: Candy Havens told us to reward ourselves after a successful Fast Draft. Well, I haven't really finished FD, what with the hiatus and all, but I went shopping today....and totally rewarded myself.

I have been intrigued by the gorgeous cover of this book! It is absolutely lovely.
I'm interested in hearing your final thoughts. Like you, I can easily put a book down. There are very few that keep me up at night, or that I can't put away to get some work done.
I can enjoy a book, but also be able to put it down.
I can put a book down that doesn't hook me and hold me in, though.
I have wayyy too many things on my TBR pile, but if the book is as great as it seems, I'll be reading VANQUISHED.
Looking forward to your review.
I hear you. I used to love to read books. But now it's hard not to analyze what I'm reading. So it's really something when you find one you can't put down.
I didn't mention the cover, but really, I can't stop staring at it. I'll definitely let you know, Colleen.
