After our daughters were married and moved away, my husband and I retired. It didn't take long for the "empty nest" syndrome to strike. It took much longer before we did something about it, though. Fifteen years! We bought a little long-coat Chihuahua who became the terror of the neighborhood - even on a leash. When he was three years old and not even attmpting to be friendly with anyone other than my husband and me, we got him a companion. A tri-colored Papillon named Konner. He's a sweetheart and kisses everyone.
One day, our youngest grandson whispered in my ear, "Does Pop-Pop really think Jammie (the Chihuahua) is his baby?" I had to explain about us missing someone to take care of, so we cuddled the dogs when our grandchildren weren't around. After a big hug and kiss, he understood we needed someone or something to cuddle.
I love writing. One night, I dreamt that I couldn't anymore. You know what came to mind when I opened my eyes? I wouldn't be able to breathe life into the characters demanding their stories.
I think that's a little nutty, don't you? My characters become real to me, and when I'm writing, they tell me what they want to do, how they want to feel, what they will and will not allow. Cheez! Talk about bossy!
OMG! I wanted to know who was chasing Muriel from the biginning of this serie but I never imagined how terrible was her life. I have hated every male character from Sophia, starting with Damron from Blackthorne's series -except for Merek, I loved Merek 😍. All of them are so well pictured as a trully medieval man that it makes me want to strangle them 🤨 But Magnus finally earned my forgiveness at the end. I liked this book, now I'm eager to read the next.
Am I confused or is this the description for the book Seduced by Sophia Johnson?
I think Ruthless goes like this:
RUTHLESS

As a huge fan of Scottish Romances I have to say that I really love Sophia Johnson's books. This is the Third book in the series and again I am blown away. I loved it. I don't know how long till number Four comes out but I will be ready and waiting to dive in.
