She has the ability to bring you back in time with her writing. I did finish this book, but it was hard to read.Ĭlaudy has done it again in this light hearten love story. The final straw was when the hero shouted, 'Give them what for!' I can honestly say that in the hundreds of historicals I've read, I've never seen that phrase in one before. It's England, it's cold, and according to every other book I've read, she would have been in a nightgown. A young virgin would not have been sleeping nude in her bed. I read Regency romances all the time and the dialogue and action was just not realistic to the time period. I mean it's not porn, but I can't figure out why the author started out afraid to use sexual words when by the end of the book, she was using 'tits' and had an innocent virgin kissing a 'cock' during her first experience. And come to find out, this is far from clean. 'She got a 'feeling' when he was around.' Even the clean romances I've read don't say that. We got it the first time.Īnd what's with the 'feelings' everyone is getting? It's even written that way.

The trustee and the godmother spent an inordinate amount of time saying over and over, 'She's been mistreated. SO! Any ideas about what the competition should be like? Any recommendations on which books should be gifted? (I should have them, if i do not i will either take care of that issue personally, or a similar one would be recommended instead).It always frustrates me when I read a book that could have been great with a little (or a lot of) editing. I have a four year old, trust me when i say my books are like my babies.)

I do not manhandle my books, i do not lend them around, i do not let others touch them. To start this off (like extending an olive branch), i was thinking about doing a competition of some sorts where the winner will be gifted a book straight from my bookcases! (You need to understand, my goal before i die is to have a library similar to beauty and the beast. I promise i will not bite unless you ask me to :) I want to hear from you recommending a series or book you hold dear to your heart.īottom line, i want this to be a page where we can ALL connect with each other.

I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU LOVELY PEOPLE! You book readers! I want to randomly get a message from one of you ranting or flattering a book or series you just finished. I assure you, that i do keep track of my tumblr, but it is rather uneventful whether i choose to post something or not. I keep disappearing, which affects my followers in many ways (some forget completely about me, while others unfollow me, or just do not follow me in the first place).
