As many of you know, we’ve spent the past week celebrating the debut release of
\n<\/a>Madeline’s Protector<\/em> by Regency Reflections’s own Vanessa Riley. To help celebrate this new novel, we’ve included giveaways with every post over the past week and held one giant, week-long contest for a Nook ereader. Well, we have winners!

\n\"MadelinesProtector11125\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Friday, April 26:\u00a0If you were a Regency Mama, which suitor would you pick for your marriageable daughter and why:The son of a family friend, a titled reformed rake, a wealthy gentleman looking for a 2nd wife?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most popular answer was: The son of a family friend.\u00a0Most of the commentors liked being familiar with the suitors family and background before giving their daughters over in marriage to our imaginary man.<\/p>\n

*****<\/p>\n

Monday, April 29:\u00a0If you lived\u00a0during the Regency and found yourself in a dire circumstance would you:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A. Do everything possible to save yourself, not caring of any possible ramifications.<\/strong><\/p>\n

B. Do everything possible, but you would\u00a0worry about potential scandals or compromise.<\/strong><\/p>\n

C. Risk everything to a point. Your family name and position could not be threatened.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most popular answer was B. Most commentors would do everything possible, but still be\u00a0conscientious\u00a0about scandals.<\/p>\n

*****<\/p>\n

Wednesday, May 1:\u00a0What got you interested in the Regency time period?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most popular answer was: Pride and Prejudice, either one of the movies or the book or a combination of the two.<\/p>\n

*****<\/p>\n

Friday, May 3:\u00a0Have you ever had your purse snatched? And if so, did you give chase?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most popular answer was: No, most people have not had their purses taken (though a few have). And no, most people did not think they would give chase, even if their purses were stolen.<\/p>\n

*****<\/p>\n

Thanks again for stopping by and enjoying our week-long celebration of Madeline’s Protector.<\/em> We hope to see each and every one of you back again sometime over the coming weeks!<\/p>\n
