It's the first Throwback Thursday of the month! Welcome to May, everyone! We are starting off strong with a regency romance surely to rival any Bridgerton series. Originally published in 1983, "The Noblest Frailty" became the sixth book in the Sanguinet Saga written by Patricia Veryan. Considered to be the successor of Georgette Heyer, Veryan wrote historical romance from 1978 until 2002. "The Noblest Frailty" being one of them! This book follows Yolande Drummond as she has been promised to marry Alain Devenish since both were children. Her parents adore him, and are counting on the match to unite their land with the neighboring Aspenhill. Any other young lady would be thrilled by the prospect of marrying the rakishly handsome man. Yolande is fond of him. She just wishes he were less of a prankster, and more of a lover. When she chances to meet Craig Winters, a rugged Canadian whose very glance quickens her heart, it complicates matters with Devenish. Especially when Yolande discovers that Winters is Dev's cousin... and enemy. 💍

Come in to check out this book! We proudly have a copy on our shelves. Have you read this book before? Let us know in the comments below! We will catch you next week for another Throwback Thursday! 📖

Our collage is a play on the infamous videos, "Getting you to read the book based on the aesthetic." We hope you enjoy it! 📚
