DUAL REFLECTIONS, PART 1: Black Silk by Judith Ivory (Judy Cuevas)

JanineA Review Category / A Reviews / Book Reviews19th century / adultery / Earl / good characterization / good-description / Good-Dialogue / lawsuits / Love-Triangle / rake / widow12 Comments

On rare occasion, I come across a novel that seems so rich, so sumptuous, and so sublime, that I am afraid to reread it. The first reading experience is so close to perfect that I don’t think anything can equal it. Such was the case with Judith Ivory’s Black Silk. ... more >

The Love Triangle

JaneFeatures / PollLove-Triangle / poll / trope43 Comments

I have a hard time with love triangles. If done right, some poor nice guy or girl is totally getting the shaft at the end. If done wrong, some initially poor nice guy or girl is demonized by the end to justify that person being cut out of the happy ... more >
