laliginDo you remember Harkness, PI?

ficfinishing, I have one scene left to write. The big, smushy, final declaration waltz off into the sunset scene.
So I went to the library to do some research and get it right.
By the way, Mills and Boon, a little variation in the titles would be very pleasing. The Greek-Italian Millionaire Tycoon's Secret Mistress's Wedding Baby Proposal of Revenge is all very well, but when every single book on the shelf is called that it's kind of difficult to differentiate.
Still, I did manage to find all four of the Secret Agent/Serial Killer/Supernatural options.
*headdesk*
Does Liverpool library just not stock the Nocturne set? (Oops, showing too much knowledge here... Gonna shut up and try finish this fic now...)

Date: 2009-01-28 05:40 pm (UTC)Now I just need to decide if I'm going to spend even more money on day trip to Paris to visit my niece. I should really post about this. Like, now. :-) Because I really do need to decide soon, while I can still get a somewhat reasonable fare on the Eurostar.
How are you? Is your new living situation (you moved, yes?) better than the old one?

Date: 2009-01-28 05:43 pm (UTC)I haven't moved yet. They've lost the keys for the other flat, and think the girl who was there before might still have them. If it gets to February it's really heading towards not being worth the effort...

Date: 2009-01-28 05:58 pm (UTC)I know the technical details on getting to Paris...it's other stuff I'm concerned about. I just posted, seeking advice from those who've been there before.
Sorry to hear you haven't moved yet. Yes, much longer and it won't be worth it at all. :/

Date: 2009-01-28 06:20 pm (UTC)I haven't read any Mills & Boon - note: must rectify - but I've read quite a few Jill Mansell ones, which sound similar.

Date: 2009-01-28 06:26 pm (UTC)Ahem. If you're going to go for it, there are bazillions of Greek Tycoons, but you *can* actually find some with a plot, it seems, particularly in the Silhouette set... And they're usually available for 20p or so in charity shops. XD Don't pay any more than that. It's not worth it, I tell you!
I feel kinda guilty now. I know too much. ^_^'

But I can't waiiiit! And I'm here cheering you on! <3
