Pickpick

This book is a light-hearted homage to Pride and Prejudice, and even echoes Austen's inimitable tongue-in-cheek droll humor. A stick-in-the-mud hero and a carefree,opionated heroine. It's a sweet, steamy grumpy vs. sunshine and the perfect way to spend an afternoon. You will swoon over shirtless, trying his damnedest to hide a smile, loves stealing fiery kisses in dark hallways Darius. There is even a mangled, awkward proposal.

I'm setting this romance aside for now. The heroine and her overly dramatic behavior are riding on my last nerve. I guess I prefer the drama in a story to come from the plot and not the MC. 🤔🤷‍♀️ #romance

“I don‘t know what the world is coming to these days, with young girls reading stories instead of good, honest sermons. I don‘t hold with it and never did. I‘d rather have a coven o‘ witches in the village than a book society to addle the minds of our young girls. And I hear they‘ve got their hands on a romance!”
