“The Dangers of Deceiving a Viscount” by Julia London
So this one never really had a chance. One might chalk it down to bad timing; read right after the sizzling Oh My God I Need To Go Sit Under An IceBerg of a book which featured one of the most macho alpha men Sheridan had read in a while and some truly steamy sex scenes featuring bed ties, chains, limo spankings and showers. So one might say, it would be hard to have anything top that, and Sheridan should have spent her weekend wisely eating a bucket full of chicken, drinking bourbon, and watching old reruns of “I Love Lucy”.

* Must write/post new review about book I read over the weekend “The Devil’s Love” by Julia London. Admit that am scared to write/post for fear that it will undoubtedly escalate into a raniew (i.e. a rant review (see our Gaelen Foley reviews for precedent)) and Lola is in a uhm…delicate state as it is (Lola recommended that I read the book) what with Juan gone and her sudden interest in her first cousin Herbert. Blergh.
