Gone With The Wind had potential, and that’s about all I can say. Until author, Mitchell, can deliver a sexy premise with a hero worthy of her privileged, self-reliant heroines, her writing won’t find much appeal outside the wish-wash factor.
ROMEO AND JULIET, by William Shakespeare
As reviewed by We Love Socially Acceptable Romances:
Who doesn’t enjoy a Hatfields-vs-McCoys scenario to open a romance? With Romeo and Juliet, author Shakespeare initially manages to interest the reader with the ongoing rivalries between the Capulet and Montague families. This situation is adequately portrayed by some sword-play with nearly swash-buckling worthy male characters like Mercutio.
Unfortunately, this is where the appeal for this story ended. The hero and heroine are both minor teenagers –and promoting underage sex is just one scenario this reviewer cannot stomach! If my suspicions are correct, this author has more in his agenda than the innocent premise this story acknowledges! His computer files should be evaluated by the proper legal authorities – if he thinks its cutesy-wootsey to write about teenagers having sex, then god knows what other kind of sick things this perv has written in the privacy of his home!!!
My final recommendation about Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare: avoid it at all costs!! After picking my kids up from the soccer match I’m going to take a long, hot shower and light some white votives in order to cleanse my mind.
THE SCARLET LETTER, by Nathaniel Hawthorne
As reviewed at Reviews For Free Downloads blog:
*Rating: 5 Chocoleete Doughnuts*
Poor Hester is abandoned by her drunken husband. She turns for comfort with a secret lover. When Hester finds she’s preagnent the town people don’t like it. They make her wear a great big fat letter A on all her clothes so everyone knows she’s an adultrest. Hester has a baby girl, names her Pearl, and their relaationshipp ain’t too good.
The best part of this story is what happens to Hester’s lover. He is a preacher. The preacher gets his just deserts for ignuring the baby he knoked Hester up with. I won’t give away the ending, but it is SEXY, SEXY, SEXY!
I think The Scarleet Letter had an underling theme. If you read this HOT, HOT book you might think it too.
THE SONG OF SOLOMON, by Solomon
Review snippet from Just Three C’s Dirty Erotic Romances:
While the author knows how to build a romantic atmosphere, he sure failed when it came to sensual delivery. For all the erotic allusions the whole thing is purple prose at its stomach-turning worst, from the very first line to the last. I also felt that this “story” is really too short to be called a book, and yet, too long to be excused as a mere story. In the annals of literature, this mediocre tale is definitely one sure to be quickly forgotten.
WUTHERING HEIGHTS, by Emily Bronte
Review summary from Strictly Format Romance Lovers:
This gothic story had potential, but I felt that all the characters would have been a lot more believable if they’d undergone some sort of therapy. Can we say Dr. Phil?? And a man’s morbid fascination with a dead woman just isn’t a turn on with this reader! Had the author followed the formula it might have been more interesting. Now if he’d been the head of some multi-million dollar corporation or a prince-turned-pirate I may have been able to give it a nice recommendation. I won’t say Wuthering Heights is one best suited as a page skimmer, but yeah, the storyline just proved too deep to get into while I was taking my coffee break.
