Last poll, I asked,
Would you rather be swept off your feet by a wealthy financier, a stubborn Marquis or a rakish Duke? Tell me which you think is sexier and why.
To be honest, I have no clue who I'd rather be swept away by. I guess that's why I'm such a fan of romance novels—I want them all! But as for you, my fellow pillow-talkers, you ladies have no problem picking your choice of regency men. What absolutely amusing responses I got from you all—I thoroughly enjoyed reading and grinning widely as I waded through the responses. But I do have to pick a winner, and here she is, with her answer...
OH, a rakish Duke, for sure. Reason one—who can resist the lure of taming a bad boy? And one with the highest title next only to Royalty? Bring it on!
—Rashmi
Rashmi, I do so love the lure of taming a bad boy and the almost-royalty thing would seal the deal for me too! Congratulations. I hope you enjoy your prize!

*** In the spirit of Valentine's day, what is the best gift you've ever given or received? ***
