Sandal of Love is about Lady Sera, a duke's daughter, whose reputation is ruined
by a false rumor. The rumor is that she was compromised by Quinton, the Earl of
Sutton, a man she hasn't ever met. The Earl's father gambled away the family
fortune, and he is forced to marry an heiress in order to keep himself from the
poorhouse. They both arrive at the same conclusion - they must marry to save
themselves, and big surprise - they fall in love within a
week.
Ridiculous! First of all, the characters are shallow - one
dimensional and unsurprising. Sera and her friend seem fairly bright and
knowledgable about the ways of the ton. Why then does she not suspect that her
**nemesis** started the rumor so that she could move in on Lady Sera's suitor,
the Duke of Wathersby??? DUH. I figured that one out immediately. Still, TOO
MUCH time and TOO MANY words are spent pondering and hemming and hawing over who
started the rumor, who has anything to gain by it, and whether it was the Earl.
Lame. Second, there is no character development. Sera and Quinton "fall in love"
after 2 balls, an opera, a morning call, a gift, some flowers and a clandestine
meeting where Quinton crawls in her window to make sure she is not deathly ill.
Incredible. Absolutely unbelievable. At the end of the book, we know as much
about the characters as we did in the beginning. There are no surprises, and we
know nothing aside from their insecurity re: them getting
married.
Although this love story is G rated - I don't even remember any
curse words - it is a complete waste of time and money. No wonder this book is
only found on Amazon, and not on other noteworthy booksellers' websites

Mad About The Earl - 3 stars - the usual Regency romance
Mad about the Earl is your standard Regency fiction, easy to read, fairly good character development. Boy meets girl and sparks fly, but as in most cases, there are character issues in the way. In this case, the obvious character issues belong with the guy, and the problem is aggravated by 3 years of separation. So, after 3 years of silence, boy is prompted (aka coerced) to marry the girl, but the girl is hurt and angry at the boy (duh!). So then they have to figure out their relationship while trying to solve the mystery in the book. The mystery isn't bad, and in addition to the happily ever after, there is a nice twist in the end. The book isn't spectacular, but if you are looking for a nice easy Regency read on a rainy afternoon, this is a good choice.
What I didn't like about the book was that there were no blatant character issues attributed to the female. Relationships are never one-sided. Likewise, the character issues are hardly ever one-sided So while overall, the book was believable in terms of the characters' interactions, there could have been more substance regarding the female protagonists imperfections.

The Robber Bride by Jessica Knight-Catania (Daring Debutantes Book #1)
Enjoyable Short Read - 3 stars
This book is about Victoria Barclay, daughter of the Viscount Grantham, who as a child felt sincere compassion for the poor even though her parents thought the poor to be thieves and degenerates. As an adult, Victoria becomes a highwayman so that she can rob those who are wealthy and lack compassion. The money she steals goes to fund a hospital in a poor part of town. Victoria's best friend and next-door neighbor, Phineas Dartwell, Earl of Leyburn, figures it out, and as he tries to dissuade her from her illicit activity, realizes that he has fallen in love with her. Ultimately, she refuses to heed his warnings, and Fin has to step in to save her when she is caught by the cops.
The book is a good short read (97 pages on my nook), and the romance is clean, appropriate for 16+. The editing is done well, and I did not encounter the usual problems with romance novels. My only problem with the book is the legal portion, which is so far off base that it is ridiculous.
**********MINOR SPOILER ALERT*********
After the heroine pleads guilty in court, the jury finds her not-guilty based on all the testimony of the people she's helped over the years. Ridiculous. After someone pleads guilty, there is no way that a jury could find that person not guilty. There would be no trial and no opportunity for the jury to deliberate. So, while happy, this happily ever after is seriously contrived. It would have been better if she were simply released from jail based on the lack of witnesses rather than going through a "trial."
**********END SPOILER***********
Other than the inaccurate legalities, I enjoyed the book.
My Romance Novel Pet Peeves
There are some issues that are so prevalent in most romances that sometimes I want to scream:
GET A THESAURUS!
-FRISSON: defined by Merriam-Webster as a pleasurably intense stimulation of the feelings. This word is seriously overused. Other words you can use that would work just as well while preventing your novel from being like everyone else's: arousal, buzz; jolt, shock
GET REAL!
-If you are staring at someone across the room, and the only light is provided by candles, there is NO WAY you can tell what color that person's eyes are, or if they are "darkening" with anticipation or pleasure or whatever.
-Size matters. If someone is sitting on your lap, unless that person is 3 feet tall, it will be VERY uncomfortable for that person's head to be "tucked" under your chin. Only toddlers can do that. Also, have you ever stood next to a person who is 6'4"? If you are 5 feet tall, and petite, there is no way that you can reach their chin with your mouth even if you are standing on your tiptoes. These kinds of issues stop me in my tracks and make me say (sometimes out loud), "that's impossible!" While sometimes you have to suspend reality to get into a book, authors need to get real about physical compatibility.
-Not everyone knows French! If you are using phrases in another language, have the decency to use a footnote or appendix, or have the characters provide the definition in dialogue. Without explanation, reader comprehension is reduced. I speak 3 languages and know many French phrases, but still have trouble with some books. Having to constantly look up a word so that I understand the sentence greatly reduces the enjoyability of the book. Who wants to have a French-English dictionary next to them at all times while reading a Regency romance? Not me.
GET SOME CREATIVITY!
-This is a major issue with love scenes, especially when written by the same author. Does everyone kiss or make love the same way? No! Ways of showing affection and describing passion should vary between characters.
-Who licks their lips "unconsciously" so often while they are staring at someone?! I've never seen anyone actually stick the "little tip of their tongue" out and lick their lips unless they were purposefully trying to be seductive. Moistening your lips is most often achieved through tucking your lips into your mouth to meet your tongue.
GET A BETTER EDITOR!
Some mistakes are absolutely unforgivable.
-using the wrong name for a character
-mixing up pronouns (if you can't tell who is a he and who is a she, you've got MAJOR problems with your book)
-grammar errors like using their instead of there, to instead of too
-spelling errors like quite instead of quiet, instead in place of intent
-punctuation errors like not using commas, forgetting periods or quotations, using an apostrophe to make a possessive instead of keeping the word a plural
Other issues are just annoying.
-having too much narration of a character's thoughts in the middle of dialogue between two characters. It causes the reader forgets the dialogue. I've seen cases where there were 3 pages of narration in the middle of a one character's question and the other's answer. It is so unnecessary and ruins the book for me. For Pete's sake, finish one dialogue Q&A before the narration expounds on the characters' thoughts.
-Repetitive narration! UGH! If narration has already described how someone thinks or a chain of events in detail, don't repeat it again! Give the audience some credit for remembering what a character is like. In cases where narration is repeated, it seems as if the character is ruminating or fretting over the issue that has already been addressed. VERY annoying, and it makes the characters unlikable. If the character is meant to fret or ruminate, then comment about that in narration saying something like, "she couldn't help thinking back to [insert topic] again," but please don't resolve an issue and then 2 chapters later have the same character go through the same fretting again to come to the same conclusion.
A good editor - or in some cases, ANY editor - will catch these and other problems and make the book readable. There are some books that I have simply put down without finishing because the editing was so bad that the potentially enjoyable book was completely enraging. I've actually written to authors before about this issue. Heck, I'd be willing to give any book a read-through for free and give my comments.
This is just the beginning of my pet peeve list. I will add to it as I encounter issues.

A Compromising Situation by Shannon Donnelly (Compromise Series Book #1) - 3 stars
Clean Romance and a fairly good read - 3 stars
This story - about a 16 yr old who acts out seeking the attention of her stoic/harsh uncle and depressed mother and about the governess who is hired to tame the teen - is a relatively good read. So much editing faux pas that the reader is distracted, though. Occasionally the characters' fretting over "the past" is overly dramatic and unrealistic. The end is wrapped up so quickly that it feels rushed. Otherwise, I enjoyed the book. The romance in this book is appropriate for ages 16+.

A Lesson in Patience (Lesson #3) by Jennifer Connors - 3 stars
A LESSON IN PATIENCE by Jennifer Connors continues her unique time travel/historical romance themed series. This third installment in the Lesson series battles some credibility and editing issues, but still provides a good read. I give it 3 stars and recommend another round of editing with fresh eyes.
A LESSON IN PATIENCE follows Ginny to the US Midwest during the 19th century. Ginny is an amnesiac sold into marriage to Colby, a man who is really just looking for a governess for his brothers and a chaperone for his sister. Colby is bitter and resentful about his lot in life even before marrying Ginny, having been forced to give up a career in law to take care of his family after his parents died, but Ginny's 21st Century mindset makes his life even worse. He spends most of the book being surly, and then makes the dramatic shift towards "love." Add some competition from Colby's best friend, danger from the elements, and menace to Ginny (and thereby Colby's sister) from Ginny's nearly bankrupt father and a sadistic former betrothed, and drama ensues.
I am uncertain whether this "lesson in patience" is meant to tout the benefits of waiting to be physically intimate in a relationship or waiting for someone you love to "come around." The character and thought development of Ginny's character is a bit incredible here. Perhaps she is just so tired of being in someone else's life that she immediately begins wondering when she gets to the "great sex" perk of the story. The development of the romance between Colby and Ginny was also a bit thin and could use more substance. Colby's flip in perspective is a bit abrupt, and Ginny seems calculated, not at all like a woman in love. Even so, there are some humorous parts and some nice action scenes.
On the technical side, the pace of the book is decent, but the editing definitely needed another pair of fresh eyes, as there were many glaring grammatical errors. Also, while not pervasive, the love scenes are specific enough to warrant a level 3 heat rating, appropriate for those 18 years of age and older.
Overall, even though A LESSON IN PATIENCE doesn't quite meet expectations, the novel is a decent read, and certainly necessary to the overall Lesson series plotline.

A Lesson in Forgiveness (Lesson #2) by Jennifer Conners - 4 stars
Have you ever made a mistake that is so monumental you can't bear to repent? Have you ever had a relationship issue so complex that you have no idea how to fix it? This second book in Jennifer Connors' Lesson series, A LESSON IN FORGIVENESS, is a sad one because it involves both of those issues. The title alone should clue you in to the fact that Ginny must learn to forgive, but it doesn't give you any indication about how heartbreakingly difficult this book is to read. Grab your tissue box and put your ringer on silent. I give A LESSON IN FORGIVENESS 4 stars.
After departing her first romance novel life in medieval Scotland, Ginny wakes up in Regency-era England. Her new parents want her to marry and bring her to a house party at the country home of Lord Whitmore, an earl. Lord Whitmore's friend, Lord Clarendon, a viscount, rake, and future duke, is also in attendance. Ginny befriends both Whitmore and Clarendon, neither of whom wants to be tied down by a marriage to her.
Sadly, the friendships dissolve when the characters can't be honest about what they really want. Clarendon sabotages his chance at happiness by devising a scheme that ultimately puts Ginny and Whitmore in a compromising situation. After being discovered by Bethany's father, a forced marriage is the end of the friendship between Whitmore and Ginny, as the new husband immediately abandons Ginny to sow his wild oats in a previously planned Grand Tour of the Continent. Add adultery, swindling, money troubles, and some serious gossip, and you have a heartbreaking story. When all is said and done, can Ginny learn to forgive her new husband, and more importantly, can she forgive herself?
I must say first and foremost that I loved this book, but I must also tell you how difficult it is to read because it is just so darn sad. The reader is made to fall in love with both Whitmore and Clarendon, and then made to hate them both after Whitmore and Ginny wed. The reader can see both sides of the dispute, but the only real solution is the most difficult one – forgiveness. Setting aside the circumstances that brought husband and wife together, the novel provides a realistic view of what happens when there is serious damage to a marital relationship via infidelity and abandonment. Ginny does some soul searching and finally learns the lesson of this particular romance novel.
Aside from the plotline, the pace of the book is nice. I could have used some more time spent showing Ginny's soul searching, especially after the amount of time she spent in heartache. Forgiveness from the heart often takes time and effort to work through. For hurts this deep, residual emotions will linger for a while before true bliss is found. Ginny's forgiveness came too quickly for it to be realistic, but this could be a personal thing. Perhaps the powers that control Ginny's romance novel-hopping life only needed her to understand the importance of forgiveness in any relationship, and if she were to spend more time in this particular novel, residual insecurities would be seen. Regardless, the reader fully understands the lesson in this book.
As for technical issues, this book had some issues with homonyms, specifically with those that sound the same but are spelled differently, e.g., to and too, do and due. Another round of editing with a pair of fresh eyes could take care of those issues.
Overall, I really loved this book. I'm looking forward to the next book and hope for some better times for Ginny.

A Lesson in Passion by Jennifer Connors (Book 1 in Lesson Series) - 4 stars
A LESSON IN PASSION by Jennifer Connors presents a fresh and interesting twist on the time travel genre. In her Lesson series, the main character is catapulted into various romance books, here medieval. I loved the believable characters and witty repartee, and I give it 4 stars.
In this first installment in Jennifer Connors' Lesson series, physician's assistant Ginny goes on vacation, and it turns into the worst vacation ever. She brought some trashy romance novels a friend insisted she take with her for educational purposes. On her return, she gets into a car accident and is transported into one of the romance novels, set in medieval Scotland during a time of unrest among the clans.
Ginny finds herself in the body of Lady Chatham, a hostage of a lowlander clan. She has the woman's memories, but is still Ginny. As Ginny figures out what is going on, how to navigate the story and how to live in medieval times, she makes use of her medical knowledge, and she gets involved with Ian McKenna, the "mega-hunk" Laird of the McKenna clan. Add a pre-arranged betrothal, clan alliances and betrayals, skirmishes, more kidnapping, and rival suitors, and you have a dramatic (and often funny) novel.
I enjoyed this novel and can't wait to read the next. The plot does not disappoint, and the book only rarely succumbs to the cheesy, melodramatic flare of the typical romance book. The beginning isn't slow per se, but it seems to take a long time for Ginny to get to the accident and into the romance novel. The dialogue is witty, and Ginny's comments on daily life in medieval rural Scotland are sometimes downright hilarious. The book is long enough to have realistic character and romantic relationship developments. The romance, while not pervasive, is specific enough to warrant a heat level rating of 3, appropriate for those 18 and over.
There is really nothing better than a romance novel making fun of itself. I highly recommend A LESSON IN PASSION for your summer reading enjoyment.

Why Blog?
I used to post reviews of books I've read on the website of a well-known bookseller. Then, one day, I discovered that several of my reviews of books purchased from that website were removed from the website by the publishers of the books. Surprise, surprise - the reviews that were removed were negative reviews. Since the bookseller refused to change its policy regarding consumer reviews, and the publishers refuse to re-post the reviews that were removed, I decided to find my own place to post reviews of books that I've read. Thus the beginning of my blog.
