Review: The Duplicitous Debutante (Cotillion Ball #6) by Becky Lower

by The Lit Bitch2 Comments on Review: The Duplicitous Debutante (Cotillion Ball #6) by Becky Lower

New York society in the 1850’s, expects women to find a good husband, set up a functional home, and of course….have children.

But Rosemary Fitzpatrick has other plans, the last thing she is interested in is entering society and beginning the great husband hunt!

Rosemary has other ambitions which include writing the popular Harry Hawk dime novels. But it’s an age that frowns upon female writers and thus Rosemary writes as the gender generic, F.P. Elliott.

Well the head of the publishing company sends his son, Henry Cooper, to meet this F.P. Elliott along with the other authors of the publishing company. Rosemary is totally captivated by his good looks and charm, and Henry likewise is intrigued by Rosemary who he thinks is the secretary for Mr. F.P. Elliott.

Review: Bitter Greens by Kate Forsyth

by The Lit Bitch2 Comments on Review: Bitter Greens by Kate Forsyth

I think most know the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale of Rapunzel.

The child sold to a witch for a handful of bitter greens who grows up to be the beautiful girl in the world with long golden hair.

Destine to live in a tower forever, a prince rides by and hears a voice and is enchanted by her.

He learns how to get to her by climbing up her hair and ultimately rescues her for the witch and the tower and they live happily ever after.

Sound familiar? But what of the original fairy tale by Charlotte-Rose de Caumont de La Force that was published in 1698?

In Kate Forsyth’s book Bitter Greens,  Charlotte-Rose de Caumont de La Force is one of the main characters and we see how her story could have potentially come together.

And really, how can you ignore this stunning cover? I’m in love with it….yes I am totally judging a book by it’s cover right now.

Princess Lia is a First Daughter of Morrigham and with her regal status comes obligations. One of those obligations is to marry.

Her father arranges a marriage with a prince from the neighboring kingdom of Dalbreck to secure a much needed peace in the realm.

As a First Daughter, Lia is also supposed to have The Gift. That is another reason for the marriage…..but she doesn’t have it.  This isn’t the only issue….Lia has never met this prince and how can she marry a man she barely knows let alone love him?

On the day of her wedding she makes a rash decision–she runs like hell.
