My Take Oh, I like this. I don’t agree with the assessment that this is erotica so much as it’s passionate about relationships and Schmidt sucks us in and relates an excellent life lesson to be true to yourself. It’s today with a flashback that introduces us to a major influence on Kennedy’s life. Memphis is the man who, through his own existence, gives Kennedy the courage to choose to follow her own path. Schmidt does an amazing job of pushing and pulling on our emotions as she pokes and prods at Kennedy, Brooks, and Memphis. It’s obvious how Kennedy feels. She is, after all, the primary protagonist around whom it all revolves. Brooks is the foil around whom the push-me/pull-me revolves with it being obvious [to us] what the right path is. The question is if Kennedy has the strength […]

My Take Do we ever find out why Brandon sent prospects by Abby? Okay, I can understand creating tension by leaving off the whole story, but, ya know, eventually, I DO want to know. Just what was Brystion doing with Abby on the dance floor that was so, I dunno, diplomatically?, ill-mannered? I did enjoy all the head-of-a-pin jokes. This is one of the oddest romances with some good love scenes, but it was very unsettled all the way to the end. Well, that’s funny…Abby is fighting, baiting Brystion and he dives in for a kiss only to purr, “How’s that ego?” Her reply? “Rock hard from the feel of it… Just the way she likes it.” God, she’s a tease. She’s so into it and ramping it up […]

And it’s suitable for young adults. My Take I am somewhat prejudiced to liking this because it combines history with a working artist and it’s nicely done with a blend of real people and Diener’s characters creating a suspenseful treasonous plot against Henry VIII. Diener provided a well-blended backstory on her principal characters. She sets her historic scenes well enough that I feel as though I’m there and includes enough emotion that will have you worried but won’t concern your doctor. Diener includes the cultural background on how women are perceived as well. It’s enough to make you grateful for American equality. LOL, oh, yes, Susanna is definitely a painter as she keeps being distracted by interesting features, fascinating groups of people, and tantalizing individuals. I do love that she confounds everyone […]
