Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
Share the title and author, too, so that other Teaser Tuesday participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers.
Teaser Tuesday #20: The Room on the 2nd Floor
Roger Dalby is a lucky man. He inherits a manor house in Devon and a huge fortune. But all he wants is to study medieval history and marry Linda, the love of his life. His problem is managing to find the courage to tell her how he feels about her. His friend Duggie, on the other hand, has less honourable intentions. A Royal decree from the Middle Ages means that the Manor is the only legally licensed house of ill repute in England. He decides to return it to its former glory. Unknown to Roger, the second floor of the manor is soon filled with a disreputable collection of people getting up to some very naughty antics. And as if that were not enough, somebody is trying to kill Roger. As attempt after attempt is made upon his life, he begins to wonder if the inheritance was such a good thing after all. Even with Jasper the dog there to keep an eye on things, it all starts to get very scary. This is a book about love, some the good type and some the less noble type. It is a very English story, written with a very English sense of humour, set in very English surroundings. Will Roger find the happiness he seeks?
My Teaser (Loc 1677 / 43% of kindle ARC)
He assumed that at least some of them would fall into that category, choosing to make money out of something thy enjoyed doing, like golfers or cricketers perhaps, just with fewer clothes and different kit.
What’s your teaser today? Please share – it’s not as if a few more books on my TBR mountain will make that big of a difference 😉

Actually, the situation right there is very different… but since I’m not supposed to spoil anything.
In real life, though, I agree with you – making money doing something we love is the best!
Thanks for stopping by.
