  1. The cover itself brings a melancholy smile to my lips. I so much enjoyed reading, when I could get my hands on one, these romances. Thanks for sharing, Flossie!

  2. I never read this book, but I know you’re a Dorothy Cork fan, and I remember the “look” of these old Harlequins. A lot of nostalgia there 🙂
