I have been reading so many France books this month, but here is another one. The Sharp Hook of

Here's the intro:
I was born in silence, my wails quieted by the hand of the only friend my mother could trust. In silence I spent most of my youth, amid the nuns of Argenteuil floating through the dark abbey without sound, as though we lived under the sea. Only in my dreams did I dance, laughing with my mother in the sun, her voice like water, her kisses like dew falling on my cheek. I would awaken with tears instead, and an ache like hunger that never subsided.Heloise is a female scholar, hoping to become an abbess before she is wooed by the foremost scholar, Abelard, and the two of them begin a love affair that is doomed.
Hope you all are reading something that ignites your passions.

This one looks fun and compelling. I don't know the story, but I will add it to my list and watch for it. Thanks.
Oh, this one sounds so mournful and captivating, too. Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
I'm intrigued by the storyline and would continue reading. Hope you enjoy it...thanks for visiting my blog.
Good premise and decent opening.
Sounds incredibly romantic! I hope you're enjoying the book.
My Tuesday post features a romance too: SAVING SHELBY SUMMERS.
Don't read much romance, but I do like that opening.
I'm not sure about the cover, but I do like the sound of the intro, and based on the synopsis, this might be one I would enjoy.
I like the intro, but the cover ...ugh...:) cheesy
I like the first paragraph, but I'm not sure I can go for a doomed love affair. I read romance novels because I want the happily-ever-after. lol I hope you enjoy.
Yeah, I think the cover tries to avoid being traditional romance by looking more like a Medieval painting, but maybe it's too subtle. Too much like a bodice ripper.
