"It will be a cold day in hell before I put on an evening suit and prance around at the club like some sort of performing monkey," Ryder White growled, tossing back a measure of neat gin in one go. "I don't care if it is the first Christmas after armistice." His hostess gave him a disapproving scowl. "Just because you're in a foul mood doesn't mean you can drink all of my gin. Hand over the bottle." Ryan did as he was told and Sybil Balfour, known to friends and enemies alike as Tusker, emptied the rest of the liquor into her glass. "Besides, I wasn't thinking of you. It would do Jude some good to get away from the farm. She's been brooding too much." Ryder smiled in spite of himself, "Then why don't you take her into Nairobi? You could both find some entertaining company?" Sybil rolled her eyes. "Ass." But the word was said affectionately.

I've never read this author, but this one sounds good. Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
I haven't read this author yet although I've heard so much about her even before hosting her on my blog. I'm really going to have to pick up one of her books soon
I love this author and her Lady Julia Grey series. This book is also on my TBR list.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm heading to BEA on Thursday.
This is a new one for me...will look into this author/series. Hope you enjoy it!
I'd keep going. It sounds like a fun story.
