The Hawaiian Word of the day is
Koa
It is warrior.
We often visit the Hale Koa - House of the Warrior -
a military resort on Waikiki Beach.

Heather Grothaus delivers a stubborn heroine who can fell fearless warrior in NEVER LOVE A LORD:
Julian Griffin has vowed to fulfil his mission: to secure the estate of Fallstowe for King Edward. Only one obstacle stands in his way – the beautiful Lady Sybilla Foxe. The King suspects her guilty of treason, and Julian must prove the claims are true. But as the evidence against Sybilla mounts, so does Julian’s attraction. Prepared to fight for her home, Sybilla is fearless – even when King Edward’s army descends upon Fallstowe Castle. Yet in Julian she discovers a more formidable foe than she imagined. For he stirs an overwhelming desire in her. And when she is forced to confront the secrets of her family’s past, Sybilla must rely on Julian to save her from the King’s wrath. But as their feelings for one another deepen, giving in to temptation will put both their lives in danger.

Medicine or to be more precise my asthma spray, otherwise I had serious problems with all the open fire. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat question is harder that is sounds for me....if I say electric -- well there were no electronics or appliances!!!! I would have to say.....comfortable shoes!
ReplyDeleteA supply of antibiotics!! They seemed to have shorter life spans back then.
ReplyDeleteI would need a modern day bathroom! lol
ReplyDeleteI want my toothbrush and paper for the bathroom.
ReplyDeleteI'm like Debby - I'd want my toothbrush and toilet paper.
ReplyDeleteAll of the above, including my inhaler.
ReplyDeleteI've read this book, and really enjoyed it.
Definitely antibiotics.
ReplyDeleteHot showers... Toilet seat... The entire washroom, in fact!

ReplyDeleteThe one modern thing I'd need to survive that historical era would be my contacts or at least glasses. I'd be handicapped without them since I'm very nearsighted.
ReplyDeleteindoor plumbing would make things easier!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Barbara E. I would need my eye glasses. I'm short sighted too. I would never see trouble coming from a distance.
ReplyDeleteToothbrush and toothpaste I think. You can economize with other things, but I don't think I can think of other things to replace a toothbrush and a toothpaste.
ReplyDeleteI'm so nearsighted I'd definitely need my glasses and antibiotics. Would love to read this book.

I would need the toothbrush and toothpaste, definitely.
ReplyDeleteHot tamales in your shorts what a HOT cover!
ReplyDeleteWho is this author and how have I missed this medieval romance?!
I have always had a soft spot for medieval novels. Ever since first hearing the story of Camelot I can't get enough. This is a genre I wish were much larger.
So yes I love to step waaay back in time, but if I were to actually go there I would miss tampons. What is a girl to do without them?!
Well I would need a few things....a toilet and feminine supplies as well as a toothbrush and toothpaste...oh and lots them to pass out or gum/breath mints. Oh and lets not forget the deodorant.

Indoor plumbing & the modern toilet.
ReplyDeleteA good supply of antibiotics; my glasses would be nice to have, too, though I imagine I'd survive (literally) without them.
ReplyDeleteBathrooms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWould definitely need my glasses especially to see all the hot men in tat time period. LOL. Bathrooms and working hot water would be nice too.
