Review: The Proposal (The Survivors’ Club #1) by Mary Balogh

by The Lit Bitch3 Comments on Review: The Proposal (The Survivors’ Club #1) by Mary Balogh

I love romance novels but to be honest, sometimes the covers are tacky and embarrassing to be toting around the lunch room, am I right? Well, thank the lord of Kindle because most of my romances I read now are on Kindle.

For Valentine’s Day, my mom sent me a hard copy of this book…..tacky cover and all. I couldn’t stop laughing when I opened it and then read the card. The card said ‘skip the sex parts’. Gotta love moms!

She hounded me for a few days to read this one so I finally relinquished and read it. I have never read anything by this author before, but my mom has read the entire series and loved it so I figured, why not, as I was between murder mysteries!

Special Feature: THAT HARLEQUIN FEELING

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Special Feature: THAT HARLEQUIN FEELING

When I was around eleven or twelve, I was reading well above my age level and was obsessed with Victoria Holt. After devouring almost all of her novels, I went in search of more reading material on my mother’s bookshelves, which were full of scantily clad women in the arms of a handsome (often shirtless) man.

I wasn’t entirely sure what the books were about, but I loved the gowns these women wore, so I picked one up. When my mother found me reading it a couple of hours later she was like no no no—and took it from me. I can remember asking her why and she said I was too young for a romance novel—-especially a Harlequin romance novel (emphasis on the Harlequin bit).

Being a curious pre-teen, I went to my grandmother’s bookshelf looking for something new to read that might be more fitting, I mean she was into her 80s at that time, and found her shelves full of the same mysterious Harlequin romances. So I grew up thinking that that’s just what women read or maybe more that that’s what women of a ‘certain age’ read. I came to realize that romances were for everyone. No matter what age.
