Summer Reads 31: The Diamond Key by Barbara Metzger

 The Before:

The Feels:

The Concerns:

Torrie short for Victoria... I think not. Especially when the book is about rich asshats.

Summer Reads 30: Ruled by Passion by Lois Menzel

 The Before:

The Feels:

The Concerns:

"Anne Waverly sat alone in the library of Wildrose Cottage. It was not actually a library, but a small morning room..." p.1 FIRST.F*CKING.LINE

I'll just let you think about that for a minute.

Summer Reads 29: Miss Chadwick's Champion by Melinda McRae

 The Before:

Yorkshire... better not use the accent.

The Feels:

Reminds me of one of Georgette Heyer's novels

The Concerns:

Yeah... I think she ripped off The Convenient Marriage... Even the hitting a guy in the head and almost killing him. 

Also if Heyer has taught me anything, it is that proper young ladies do not/cannot travel across England alone.  In Sylvester (I think it was?), she literally travels with a STRANGER!

Summer Reads 26: Marry in Haste by Lyn Kerstan

 The Before:

Meet cute by hitting love interest in the head with a frying pan... That sounds bad, but it also sounds like the Disney movie Tangled!! 👸👸👸👸💖😻

The Feels:

Off to a good start. The dream is actually not too cliche. I like how Kerstan wrote about the lead; she doesn't know how to make hot chocolate and worried to upset the cook if she tries. She decides to make tea. This shows the reader that; 1.) cares about her staff. 2.) self aware as a person 3.) shows her privilege

Plot is "this guy wants to f*ck my cousin, but she's can't f*ck. I guess I'll have to get him to f*ck me instead.
