Anne here, and for your entertainment, here's a little quiz on a book you haven't yet read — Marry In Scandal, which comes out on April 3rd. A few reviewers and some of the wenches have read it, but that's all. 
So it's not testing anything—you can only guess at the answers — it's just for fun and to give you a little taste of the book, something a bit different from an excerpt or a blurb. In order to avoid spoilers I've ignored some pretty big plot points, so it might seem a little dull. I hope not.
So take a few guesses, make a note of your answers, check them by clicking the link at the bottom then come back and tell us how you went. I'll be giving a copy of Marry In Scandal to someone who leaves a comment.

Now you've made your guesses, click here and find out the answers. Then come back and tell us how you went.
Did you enjoy this? I must admit, when I'm making up the alternatives, I sometimes think, Oh, that would be fun. And a new story idea pops up.

8 out of 12, and rats, swapping dance cards sounded like an excellent plot device. Who am I kidding? This all sounds fantastic, especially some more vitriol from the dreadful Aunt Agatha. I can’t wait.

I had 5 right. Looking forward to reading this book. I have a question. Did the model on the cover of this book borrow her dress from the model on the cover of MARRY IN HASTE? Maybe they just have similar taste. (smile)

“swapping dance cards sounded like an excellent plot device” — I know! When I wrote it down as a choice, I thought Oooh! And immediately thought it might make a good set-up for a short story. Thanks for playing, Louise.

LOL Mary — you made me go and compare the dresses on the two covers. And they ARE different — phew! I suppose there is a limit to what cover designers can do with the idea of a bride dress — especially as they always want them to be ivory or white, even though lots of Regency girls married in colors. But it’s what modern readers expect, so we have brides in white or ivory. But the dresses — in fact the whole covers of the books in this series have been so pretty, I’m delighted. And very grateful to the cover designers.

And besides, both dresses were designed and made by Daisy Chance, which explains the similarity. *g*

Just pulling your leg Anne (smile). I could see that although they were similar, they were actually different. Looking forward to its release.

I got 6 right. It was fun and am glad I preordered this book. It sounds like a good one! I loved Lily in the other book and loved seeing Daisy in the last one.

I did well with the “all of the above” answers and nothing else! There’s no chance of this story being predictable. I feel bad that I thought she sleptwith the dog, I assumed she may have been cold!

LOL, Anne! What fun. Since I’m one of the Chosen Ones who have been able to read the book early, I knew the answers–but some of the wrong ones opened up great plot possibilities.
Except–dance cards. I’ve read that they didn’t come in until Victorian times. Darn!

I got a lot of them right I missed on the diet, Galbraith in the carriage, and Lily’s sleeping companion at the inn. I feel pretty good about it considering I haven’t read the book. However, I’m looking forward to reading it since I’ve read the season Brides.

I actually did pretty well…I did guess Pride & Prejudice and my jaw dropped when I was right. Think I got all but 2 or 3 (including the “who said this?” part), but I got so involved in the story I forgot to write down my answers.
Gonna go pre-order right now!
Cheers & thanks for a delightful diversion, Anne.

I didn’t do so well – can we use all of my wrong answers to write an alternative story? 🙂 I only got 4 right out of 1-11 and on question 12 I got 3/5 right. Fun! Now I want to read the story and see how it really plays out!

I loved this quiz! I got 10 out of 16 answers right. The Regency is one of my favorite periods to read about. (Thank you Georgette and Jane!) That actually made the diet question simple. After the first two questions, I had a fair mental image of Aunt Agatha which also helped. Now I just need to wait (anxiously) for the release date of Marry in Scandal so I can really get to know all the characters personally.

I’m eager for the pub date. (I never keep track on these quizzes, I’m having too much fun reading them, but I would have picked all of the all of “all of the aboves” and the vinegar item, so I’d Have gotten at least some of them. And I mentally hovered of the Austen, but I didn’t really claim it, so I would have kicked myself.

I only got the first 5 correct because I read the free preview on iBooks. I dont even want to read and see if I got anymore right because I dont want to spoil any aspect of the story for myself. 😆😆
BTW, the girl on the cover reminds me of Adelaide Kane. She’s so beautiful

Best wishes on the publication of Marry in Scandal; it sounds like it will be a fun read. I got about half of the questions right. I live in hope that someday a heroine will kiss a (garden) rake!

Simone, it would have been a fun scene. MJP also wanted her to sleep with the dog — and she’s read the story. *g*

Thanks Mary Jo — I was doing that, too, thinking of alternatives to the plot and wanting to write them in.
As for the dance card thing — I know, so annoying of history to do us out of such a useful device. I LIKE dance cards!

And the big smelly dog has proved very popular. I might have to write it into a story. *g*

Thanks, Claire. The diet thing is fascinating — I plan to blog about historical diets at some stage. And I remember my friend Jenny taking me to see the shop where Byron used to weigh himself. He was a real fad dieter.

Thanks, Regencybookworm, I was pretty careful to avoid spoilers and only include events that anyone might expect in a romance, but I appreciate your holding back. I hope you enjoy Marry In Scandal.
And yes, the cover model is lovely. I’m really delighted with the cover of both Marry In Haste and Marry in Scandal. The cover designers have done a lovely job.

LOL Kareni — I once responded flippantly to a comment (many years ago) I think when we were talking about my book, The Perfect Rake, and talked about my “toolboys” series. I’ll see if I can dig up that (wholly tongue-in-cheek) description and share it with you.

Kareni, I found it in the old computer. It was a very silly exchange between a romance writing friend and me, after my first Berkley book, The Perfect Rake had come out..
She said: “I don’t know. Why is it always rakes? Why not mattocks, shovels, hedgeclippers… The list is endless. But noooo. It’s the rakes get the attention every time.”
And I responded:-
Well, naturally I have a *series* in mind! I’m not implementist!
: The Perfect Scythe (he was just a young whippersnipper until he met his match in Miss Petunia de la Hedgerow),
: The Perfect Spade (A gambling den was all he knew (spades, get it!) until she coaxed him outside and showed him to her fallow bed)
: The Perfect Plough. (Our roman-nosed hero finds a sultry Egyptian lass under the axminster. He ploughed her and she cropped.)
: The Dashing Blade ( When our heroine is kidnapped by feral nuns, the hero disguises himself as his twin, the Gay Blade, and, dressed in women’s attire, follows in hot pursuit)
I reckon my “Toolboys series” will give those Cynsters a run for their money.

I got about 3/4 of them right. It does sound like a terrific plot. And Lily is going to be a good heroine….simply surviving an Aunt Agatha will make her stronger and able to leap tall gossips in a single leap.

I got a score of 6.10. It would have been higher but I couldn’t believe that Aunt Agatha could be a nasty as the questions required 🙂

Janice, that’s the problem with quoting out of context. You’re right — Aunt Agatha isn’t as purely nasty as those questions imply — she’s a complex old lady with, I hope, some depth to her. See what you think when you’ve read the book. And thanks for playing.

Sharyn, as I said to Janice above, sometimes taking people’s words out of context shows them in a harsher light. I loved Galbraith as a hero, and I think you will too.
I love that you and your daughter share the books.

I truly enjoy your plots but, as many others have noted, it seems romance writers now believe they must add explicit sex scenes to their novels. All of us skim thru those scenes to get to the “good” stuff … the romance. We wonder why authors feel they need to include this. Is it because your editors demand it or do you really think we want those scenes? I do not. For me, it slows the story and almost kills the romance. Do you all not think we h ave imaginations? Please read Beyer, she knew how to let us add our own dreams to a story. I would l d really like to hear from you. Ps: I bought your latest book before it was out and was so pleased when I opened my tablet and THERE it was 🙂

Hi Janet, thanks for commenting. I grew up on Heyer and love her books, but unfortunately it’s a commercial necessity in romance publishing these days to open the bed room door. Some years back (before e-publishing became big) a number of my favorite historical romance authors lost their contracts, and most of the sweet (ie no sex) lines were closed. That’s the reality. I try to ensure that any lovemaking scenes in my books are relevant to the particular characters and development of their romance. As a result, some books are more sensual than others. I know not all readers like to see sex on the page, but I also get complaints from some readers that some of my books are not sexy enough. We can’t please everyone.
