Teaser Tuesday: Blue Asylum

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. I actually discovered the idea on one of my favorite blogs, Up All Night Reading.

Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

Grab your current read.
Open to a random page.
Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My first teaser is from Blue Asylum, by Kathy Hepinstall, which I won through a giveaway. I am just starting the book today – so I’m basically teasing myself.

“On those rare occasions when she desired lovemaking, she always applied this concoction, specially made for her by the chef. The doctor hated the smell of bergamot but could never summon the courage to tell his wife her application of that supposedly inviting potion has the opposite effect on his passions, and that when her performed the act, he did so in spite of the horrific aroma, not because of it.”

I am really looking forward to getting into this book.
