Wideacre (The Wideacre Trilogy, #1)

The only reason I gave this book a star is because the darn system wouldn't let me give less. Now, I'm not a prude who doesn't like my book to contain a bit of a steamy scene once in a while. In fact, bring it on. JUST NOT WITH YOUR BROTHER. I loved the time period of this book, and initially I was impressed with the strength of the heroine. However...she lost me when she started thinking up ways to seduce her brother. And chucked a darling hubby out the window (Not literally). What was that about? This was one that I seriously threw in the garbage half way through...I didn't want to subject another poor person to a book full of nasty shmasty incest.

I read "The Other Boleyn Girl" by the same author and there were some similar themes in that one (maybe not as overt), but they definitely had a 'special' relationship. We'll throw all of hers away. I'm excited to hear what you think about "These is my words."

I like most of PG's books but this one sounds gross.. Thanks for warning potential readers. Great review.
I am reading the book now, I just cannot wrap my brain around her seducing Harry. It's a sin as Harry said, and just plain gross! Ugh! Does it get any better from here?
one of the few books I didn't bother to finish. sick of the constant sweet everything - grass, water, thighs etc the incest was the final straw.
So incest is despicable but murder isn't ? Really? When did murder become a lesser crime that we can all read about but we turn all squeamish about incest?
