This weeks teaser comes from Soulless by Gail Carriger.

".... Do you ken?”


Alexia was going to get defensive and angry and explain quite severely that she was practical enough to avoid fisticuffs, especially when she had no brass parasol to protect herself with, but instead she said, “Did you just ask if I kenned?” She could not help grinning.


Lord Maccon looked ashamed of the verbal slip and muttered something about Scotland under his breath.


“You did! I was just kenned!” Miss Tarabotti’s grin widened.

I enjoyed this book! I still need to review it but Alexia is just too funny! Her dialogue really is fantastic as you can guess from above.  And who doesn't like a sexy Alpha thrown in the mix?
