Historical Time With Jennifer Haymore Back to Blog
Update: The winner of SECRETS OF AN ACCIDENTAL DUCHESS is..Lucy Nina!
I’m trying to vary my book spotlights…sometimes featuring paranormals, romantic suspense tales, and…historicals.
Because she is one of my favorite historical authors, I wanted to spotlight Jennifer Haymore now. And if you haven’t read Jennifer, then here is your chance!
Blurb time:
With her pale hair and slim figure, Olivia Donovan looks as fragile as fine china, and has been treated as such by her sisters ever since a childhood bout with malaria. But beneath her delicate facade, Olivia guards a bold, independent spirit and the kind of passionate desires proper young ladies must never confess…
It was a reckless wager, and one Max couldn’t resist: seduce the alluring Olivia or forfeit part of his fortune. Yet the wild, soon-to-be Duke never imagined he’d fall in love with this innocent beauty. Nor could he have guessed that a dangerously unpredictable rival would set out to destroy them both. Now, Max must beat a Madman at his own twisted game–or forever lose the only woman to have ever won his heart.

Sounds awesome, huh? Want to win a copy? (Winner’s choice–print or digital.) Tell me…if you could go back and live in any historical period, when and where would you go? One winner will be randomly selected to win. Good luck!!!

I think I would go to England during the Georgian Era.

I would go back to ancient Greece. I would love to see the statues of the gods. It would be cool to see the first Olympics.
I would go to Egypt when they built the pyramids. My family loves learning about mummies and Egypt and that would answer all of our questions.—Rachel
Because I have a thing for Greek gods I think ancient Greece would be my choice.
Would go back to willingly study and train with the druids, to learn the truths that we don’t know.
I would go to London, England during the Regency period.
I would want to go to the regency England. I would also like to well situated too, I wouldn’t want to go back and be a maid, that would just suck.
I would defintely go where all the hot men in books are hangin out of course! lol My husband always says he belongs in the old west so i suppose i would have to follow him there right??
Love the excert. The release parties are so much fun for finding new authors and books to read.

If I could have a modern restroom and my kindle and the figure to go with it I would choose the roaring twenties!
If I were to choose, I would choose the Renaissance era because it marks the rebirth of humanism and where artists created works that displayed artistic freedom and individualism. Not to mention those awesome dresses 🙂
I think I’d like to watch how the great pyramids or Stonehenge were built. I’m hoping, of course, that I can come back; I don’t want to stay there.
Oh, Regency era London, for sure! The pretty gowns, the courtship…. siiiigh…. 🙂
I would probably choose 16th century Scottish Highlands as I have Scotland in my blood (my father was a Scotsman). Scotland’s history is rife with turmoil and battles over rulership between Scottish and English royals. It would be both exhilarating and terrifying to witness those events first-hand and discover what those times were like for those living in Scotland.
Man, there are too many time periods for me to choose from. I think my all time favorite is ancient Greece, especially with the Gods and Goddesses.
I think I would live in the Old West. I grew up on a farm so I would know how to take care of the animals and ride a horse.
I don’t think I could handle it but I think the Renaissance is where I would go.
Oh my to see the Scottish Highlanders in their homland say around 1600’s, mmmm mmmm
Thanks
Would love to go to Ireland and live when Druid still exist. I would love to know about their culture and religion
I would either be a highland lass or in the wild west! I’m way too independent to be a london lady! 😉
Definitely Regency England…the dresses, the shoes, the balls!
Pagan Ireland… that would be interesting to see.
ohhh, I would love to go to ancient Greece
Regency England… Kind of traditional but I still love the balls, the dresses, the manners…
Medieval Scotland, hands down… albeit only in the summer ‘cos there’s no way I’d put up with the cold with nothing but a plaid, no insulation, and a fire to keep me warm.
Ancient Greece would be pretty legend as well… 🙂
I would like to go to the Early 20th century at Paris to meet Ernest hemmingway, f scott Fitzgerald , just like the guy in the movie midnight in Paris . It would be s fantastic experience 🙂
I would choose either Regency England or Medieval Scotland. 🙂
Turn of the 20th century New York. Now that was a fun time in history!
i will love to live in victoria regency
I’d like to visit 1800s England.
I would like to go back to 1600s Scotland.
I think I would like to go back early England, Scotland or Ireland. I am think 1200, 1300. There were not quite all the rules of “society” but there were knights and ladys and castles, and healers. Where some still practice the old religions with the new
I tend to have a superior attitude to the past, because I feel like now is a pretty good time to be living in. If I had to I’d probably want to go back a couple of hundred years, yes to regency England. Although I’d love to see Ancient Rome, just not live there.
I’d be open to visiting almost any past era as long as I didn’t end up in extreme poverty (life is SO hard when you’re dirt poor in any time) and as long as I could return here–I’m rather attached to many of the modern conveniences! I’d be curious to visit ancient China, for instance (minus the era of footbinding, please)…
to regency England,
to regency england or pagan ireland..
thanks for the chance ^^
I would want to go back to Scotland, when lairds ruled the land 🙂
I would go to Regency England.
I would go back to England as a duchess in Victorian times!
With my body type I would be a hot catch in Regency or Victorian England!!!!
Would love to be back in the 40s. Yes there was turmoil, but still think that was a cool time…
I would go to Regency England.
I would love to live in the 1600’s Scotland,and really see if some of the romance stories could have happened for real. Where highland warriors fought for their lady love. Scotland is a beautiful country.
