Status Updates From Restraint

Tristan picked it [the bible] up and held it out, looking at one of his letters rather than Watson. "Someone left this in Acklebury's room," he said. "We must all, of course, admire St. Pauls letter to the Corinthians." I heart tristan.

"It seems I must be shot to bring you to my bed. If I had known, I would have arranged to be shot sooner"

This book is so amazingly brilliant so far...I wish I had more time during the day to read it. It's like Sense and Sensibility without the annoying woman. lolol

I'm at ch 21-22, but I kinda lost interest because it's too damn long :P

Plodding a bit.

waiting for the other shoe to drop

indications that the restraint is about to lessen. *rubbing hands in anticipation*

I am enjoying too much that chad Michael Murray is the cad who broke jared's heart and damaged his reputation. and that he now looks rather seedy. get a haircut!

ack! there is too much restraint in restraint. give me a little something something please!

Surprisingly un-boring despite my misgivings due to the Regency period combined with the length and such. BUT, so far: wow.

So far by far the best m/m regency I've read. 95K of UST, if that is your thing. The writing is great. But I am wondering what on earth we're going to fill another 100K with.

gah! UST! <3 my stomach is in knots

<spoiler>“John considered pointing out that being forced to escape a Mayfair townhouse with nothing but four servants and a small fortune to sustain one bore little resemblance to being too sick with dysentery to leave Cairo, but he thought better of it and held his tongue.”</spoiler>

I needed that. I'm bawling like I've been orphaned, over here.
