“Well,” said Roger.
“Well,” Susan responded. “I hope you don’t mind, but I’m absolutely exhausted.”
Roger nodded. “Me, too. I had no idea tonight would be so… eventful.”
Susan laughed. “So you don’t mind if we call it a night?”
Roger smiled. “No, but can I take a rain check? Maybe we could do this again when the gods are less angry with us?”
“Or maybe when Bad Luck Schleprock goes away?”
Roger reached over and squeezed her hand before shifting the gears and driving toward Saint Albans.
After about fifteen minutes of driving outside the city onto the quiet country roads, the car suddenly started shaking. Roger turned on his emergency lights and drove to the side of the road.
“What’s wrong?” Susan asked.
Roger looked at the dashboard and then slammed his open palm onto the steering wheel. “Damn!”
Doctor Roger Lane had a sterling reputation of being cool-headed in a crisis. All of his coworkers had mentioned that even in the darkest situations at the hospital, he always maintained his composure. This must be really bad.
“I’m out of gas.”
Susan stifled a laugh. “You’ve got to be kidding me.”
Roger ran his fingers through his blond hair. “I wish I were. I can’t believe this. I’ve never done this before!”
Susan smiled. “Not even in high school for a bit of ‘humina humina’?”
Roger laughed. “Is that what you call it in Kansas? Humina humina?”
“What do they call it in where you’re from? Shagging? To me, that sounds like a carpet.”
Roger pulled out his cellphone. “Let me call the auto club and they can send a truck with gas or a tow.”
“Have you ever called the auto club out here? It takes them an hour just to find where we are.”
“Speaking from personal experience?”
“Friend of a friend.”
Roger cocked an eyebrow at Susan. “Oh, really?”
Susan smirked. “Really. And no ‘humina humina’ involved.” She pulled out her cellphone. “Let me text Terri so she knows what’s up. Good heavens! It’s nearly midnight already!”
“Really! I can’t believe it’s the time. I’m sorry I’ve kept you out so late.” “No apologies please, Roger. Wait, here’s a response from Terri: ‘Out of gas? Ha Ha. Go get him, Tiger.’ ” Susan flushed. “Oh dear. I don’t think I was supposed to read that out loud.” MEET THE AUTHOR |

OUR READERS REVIEWS:
Elixir is fantasy at its best. Katie Caroll draws us into her world with ease, her well-polished writing style and flow holding us captive until the end. I especially liked the relationship between Katora and her sister Kylene, obviously drawn from real life. I can't wait to read the sequel.
I was pleasantly surprised when I opened this very charming and witty book to read on the skytrain. But I have to say it was kind of embarrassing. I couldn't stop giggling out loud at Maggie Lyon's humour. People kept looking at me, and I tried my hardest to hold in the laughter, but it was impossible. What a delightful story! What child wouldn't love this. It's a story for 6-10 year olds. It's a great book to read to your children when they're young or by themselves when they're older. If your child likes Geronimo Stilton, they'll fall in love with Dewie the little dragon and his friend Jones the toad. I hope Maggie Lyons will turn this into a series.
Joy Smith pulled me into the story on the very first pages. Fast moving, first I hated Victor, than I love him, than I hated until I loved him. And Marisol with her guarded heart had me hoping throughout that she'd open it again to love.
I loved her descriptions. They created such visuals, I felt I was traveling and discovering Colombia with Victor.
Ms. Smith writes believable, flawed characters that I wound up cheering and caring for on each page. I can't wait to read her next book. Goodreads Reader Review - Five Stars
"...murder, mystery and intrigue..plus did I mention our hero is a witch? Tex and his best friend Olivia are brilliant characters, really well written and I love tex's dad. Can't wait to read more about tex in the future! -Amazon Reader Review
I really enjoyed the twists and turns of the plot of this novel. From Annabelle putting her life in danger when running away from Boarding School where she has lived since the age of five to her tenacious pursuit in finding clues as to her origins.
She is rescued by Roland, who is too much of a gentleman not to help the intriguing young lady. I relished the suspense of the reciprocal desire between Roland and Belle which is thwarted by misunderstanding after misunderstanding and prevents them achieving mutual fulfilment. The reader yearns for the truth to replace the false pretences and for Roland and Belle to overcome each other's prejudices.
Rosemary Morris' major and minor characters spring to life. I sympathised with Annabelle and found Roland charming. Apart from this, Rosemary's great attention to every aspect of the Regency era is impressive.
False Pretences is a ripping read and I look forward to reading this author's next novel. - F.Way- Amazon Review
