Don't test me, okay? I may need to reread the book for the 12th time!
LOL. And that would be such a hardship for you?
Oh.... of course not! I can imagine myself still reading the book 30 years from now on.....
It's that last sequel that's only available in paper I think. You will writhe and scream at the murder of the English language and grammar. If you read it, I'm watching.
I don't think it's for everyone. There's physical abuse, rape, cheating...... and definitely a huge train wreck. Unfortunately, it's only available in paperback/hardcover now. Of course, I have the book in hardcover although I have the ebook format. :-)Yes, you can read the sample on lulu. But, there's another book set in a parallel universe Into the Lion's Den. It's available in ebook format. You can read it as a stand alone.
Kate, the first book is only available in paperback now.English is not my mother tongue, so I don't care about the language and grammar. :-)
Why did she stop making the ebook available, Yoshi? Do you know?
Because of piracy. As far as I know, there were hundreds of people have download the book on some piracy sites but only a very small amount of the book were really sold on lulu. Tionne got upset and decided not to publish in ebook anymore.
Oh, I didn't know about that. Anyway, you should buy it now!I will also buy a copy because the one I have was in PDF bought at lulu.
*running to amazon*
Ok, just bought it. It's really the same book I have.
Say, I think she has posted almost half of the book on her blog by now.

Not sure but I think back then it was free (on the author's blog?)
Is it really THAT bad or should I reconsider?

Horrific. Really bad misuse of grammar, lots of malapropisms, sometimes undecipherable sentence structure. Besides that, for me the story was really almost a parody of everything you could possibly imagine being put into a romance: secret inheritances, the "other woman" who MC #2 ends up marrying and who makes Guntram's life miserable (a la Cinderella), unrevealed ancestral connections, abandoned kid raised in poverty and rescued by abusive older man, Russian mob, family intrigue, kids who the younger MC ends up nannying and who then go missing, jealousy, stupidity, oh just everything. And despite all that I thought most of it was pretty boring and could have been cut. So it's definitely an interesting read. Unlike Yoshi, I would never voluntarily do it again.
