Guest Post w/ Anne Barton-- Lady Olivia's 5 Tips for Snagging Your Man!

Hey guys! Anne Barton is joining us today! Woots! I just love her books. She made my Must Reads: Historical Romance list earlier this year and just has the prettiest books. Anywho. She's here today with some man snagging tips from her latest heroine. Yall give her a nice welcome and be sure to leave her any questions or comments you've got! ~Anna

Lady Olivia Sherbourne isn't shy about speaking her mind, except when it comes to James Averill. For ten long years he has been her brother's best friend and her heart's only desire. But when Olivia hears James will soon set sail for an expedition to Egypt, she knows the time has come to make her move. It's now or never . . .

James has always found Olivia bewitchingly attractive, but what kind of gentleman takes up with his best friend's sister? Not that he's thinking particularly gentlemanly thoughts when she appears on his exploratory trip-three hundred miles from home!-and incites a tavern fight. No matter what the devil she's doing there, it's his duty to see her safely back to her family. But how safe will she be when every starlit night brings wicked temptation . . . ?

Lady Olivia’s 5 Tips for Snagging Your Man

1. Start a tavern brawl. This one’s risky, but it does give your guy the chance to flex some muscle, defend your honor, and prove he’s hero material. Be sure to tend to his wounds afterward. You’re probably going to need to peek beneath his shirt for bruises…

2. Embrace your inner Cleopatra. The famous Egyptian queen went after what

she wanted, why shouldn’t you? If you really want to get into the role, you could put on some heavy kohl eyeliner and dig out your gold bangle bracelets. He’ll be into it!

3. Indulge in sensuous treats together. Eat a decadent dessert (like a warm, frosted, cinnamon bun) in front of him. Give him a bite, then lick your fingers. Note: Do NOT worry about calories. Not even for one second.

4. Go skinny-dipping with him. All you need is a hot summer night, a cool lake, and a starlit sky. No swimsuit necessary. Pro tip: Just beware of security cameras.

5. Let him see who you really are. If he’s the right man for you, you won’t have to try all that hard to win his affections. Be true to yourself and he’ll soon realize how special you are and how good the two of you are together.
