Isn’t Meredith amazing? When I need inspiration, I open one of her books.

This type of description is so beautifully done; sensual and visceral without the mawkish sentiments that cloy (I won’t name names but you know who they are).

One of the reason why I chase every book that you write is your ability to utilise the English language so adroitly in describing the characters and scenes that they unfold beautifully before one’s eyes without making one go “Eh?” or shudder or throw up a little in one’s mouth.

Meredith is THE great prose stylist of our generation of romance writers.

And you are welcome.

I most certainly do not blame you. It does seem to be the case that lots of romance writers known for their prose style are in historicals, which seems to lend itself to richer writing.

The more I read historical romances, I realize that some writing is a cut above the others. When the physical description or overall prose is as beautiful as your example above, I notice that I slow down my reading and even reread them just to savor it. Sometimes, however, there’s nothing special about the writing and the story that I find myself rushing and guiltlessly skipping paragraphs and pages just to get to the next part. Can you blame me?
