Quotes by Barbara Cornthwaite (?)

“Well,” said Knightley, chuckling, “You have given me the perfect test by which to judge any future infatuations; if I am willing to dance in public for her sake, it must be true love.”

Thanks so much, Robin! I confess, I'd noticed your blog one day a few weeks ago when you mentioned getting my book in the mail, and I've been checking it ever since to see if you liked it or not. :) Thank you so much for such a kind review! There are a few chapters of the new book up on my website (http://crownhillwriters.com/CEN/knigh...), and I'm working at getting the rest of it done as quickly as I can!

Thanks again for the very kind review!
