If ladies of that era freaked then Buffy is going to. Nice man her father then? Wes appears to be Spike's ineffectual voice of reason. Will Buffy stand up to him more? Oh I can't wait to read more. Loved it and I hope everything sorts itself out in RL.
Author's Response: *lol* Even if they didn't freak, I can guarantee Buffy will. ;) She's not too conventional and won't take lightly to being forced to marry, even if there's not much she can do against itl. ;) Oh yes, Hank is a very nice man... not. ;) *lol* Wes is supposed to be Spike's voice of reason and as you very well put it, that voice is quite ineffectual as well. Spike won't listen to anyone but himself... for the moment. ;) Thank you so much for reviewing and for your wishes! *hugs*

Yay!! I was looking for this!! Great chapter, high stakes at Whites, a handsome card cheating rake, a young womans virtue dealt with cards. Everything I love!! I also wanted to tell how impressed I am that you are taking the challenge of writing this fic. It must be really difficult to make a good story and be time period correct, It is more than I could do. I will glady check back for the next update!! Have a great week!
Author's Response: Awww, thank you for your very kind words! I'm actually having a blast writing this story, more than I thought for sure. And I have lots of help in the research area, since the wonderful jamies_lady offered her expertise. She's the one leading me in the right direction so I do't mess up and I'm learning a lot of history in the meantime. I'm very happy you enjoyed the chapter, I hope you enjoy the rest. Thanks again, sweetie!

Still with you, still loving it!
From Hank's inner thoughts I can only gather that Buffy is better off away from him... but I worry about her reaction! A lot!!!
Hope everything turns out for the best in RL honey, I'll talk to you tomorrow,
*hugs you tight*
Author's Response: Awwww, thank you, cariño! See? You're too adorable. *squishes you* Hee, yes, Buffy will be better off anywhere but at her house and you' do well by worrying. *evil grin*I do hope so too, honey. Hope to chat with you soon. *hugs you tighter* ;) Mari

This story is everything I love!!! Spuffy and historical romance. I was really never much for Angel, and the fact that he is not a peer, while Spike is!!! I love it, gives me an internal giggle! I will be watching at spuffy_fantasy and here for the next update!
Author's Response: Hee, I'm ecstatic you liked. I love reading historical romances, so writing one like this was a dream of mine. I'm not much for Angel myself, but no worries, he won't be in the story all that much anyway. ;) Thank you so much for reviewing!

Good start :) I find the idea very interesting. *reads on*
Oh definitely like it :-D I'm sure Hank will love to let Spike marry Buffy but she isn't interested. Sounds like interesting time to come.
No question I want more of this. :))
Author's Response: Thank you, darling! I'm so happy you enjoyed the start. Hope to have more soon. :D

Love - there you go - and at least Spike seemed to be the polite "want, take, have" kind. I am so looking forward to more of any of your writing so I am sitting here in anticipation.
Author's Response: Thank you for reviewing, darling! Spike's sort of polite I guess, he's been raised as a true gentleman after all. ;)
