The Reluctant Alpha (Highland Wolf Clan #1)The Reluctant Alpha by A.K. Michaels
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

I really tried, but the filthy language and awful writing forced me to stop after only 25% and I'm not about to apologize for it, either.
Edgy isn't what I look for in a novel of any type, and this was too in-your-face for my liking.
Do some authors think that by dropping F-bombs all over the place, they will somehow look better than their elementary-level writing skills?
Commas wherever, fragments whenever, the word Highland in the title being a complete misnomer, and enough misused, misspelled words to counter the same number of swear words included in this "bad ass" excuse for a Romance.
No thanks.
I just hope this isn't par-for-the-course when it comes to Shifter Romance novels, because sadly, this was the first one I've ever read.

Best-Seller my azz.

Over There! #MFRWauthor Blog Challenge Week 17

Hello, and welcome to another installment of the MFRWauthor 52-Week Blog Challenge. This week's question is: The Top Five Places I'd Like to Visit I've included a Linky at the end of this post so you can visit everyone's submission to this week's Hop. I know it sounds ridiculous to say I Love to Travel because, let's be honest, who doesn't? A more accurate or realistic remark might sound more like this: Who Can AFFORD to Travel? Right? Not me! But, dreams are free and here is mine. #5 Crete Home to the Ideon Cave, which was the birthplace of Zeus. But also for the food, the atmosphere, and especially the photo ops standing near all of the white buildings with blue awnings/rooftops/shutters... and with the Mediterranean as a backdrop. I learned in one of my Linguistics classes that there is an island off the coast of Greece where the language is so obscure that even Greeks have trouble understanding it. Fascinating stuff, s...

Korean Drama, Fool's Love - a Review

Image
호구의 사랑 / Hogooeui Sarang AKA: Ho Gu's Love / Fool's Love / Fool for You Genre: Romance, comedy Episodes: 16 Network: tvN Broadcast: 2015-Feb through Mar Synopsis A romantic comedy drama that depicts Kang Ho Goo, who never had a girlfriend and has no dating techniques. He meets his first love -- a member of the national swim team -- Do Do Hee and gets involved in a complicated love/friend relationship. Main Cast UEE as Do Do Hee (A swimmer, Asian Games silver medalist) Choi Woo Shik as Kang Ho Goo (artist, dreamer, lover) This was worth the watch AND the wait for episode uploads. At first, I didn't care for UEE and thought that Ho Goo's twin sister did a better, more believable job portraying the bad-ass, ugly duckling with the opposite attitude. But as the show progressed, I managed to get past UEE's huge eyes and fat cheeks, and that deadpan, I really don't give a shit vibe she carried throughout and started to enjoy her on-screen time ...

The Thought Bubble Never Pops #MFRWauthor

Hello, again. Sorry about missing last week's challenge (Favorite Novel Quotes) AND not being able to read or comment on the posts from the week before! I don't know what happened, but not only couldn't I open the MFRW Author Blog page to find the links, the links refused to appear on my blog, so I had no way of joining the hop and was very upset. Last week's challenge was not something I would have been able to participate in since I'm not one to quote anything... because I can't remember what "I" said ten minutes ago, much less what I read ten years or months or hours ago. MY total recall is along the photographic line; not the literary. My son can watch a movie ONCE and then verbatim quote it for years after, leaving his mother in awe of such a skillful talent! And here's me, trying to remember the movie title and who starred. What I recall most from both books and movies that I truly enjoyed is the setting that evolved in my ...
