When she meets Simon and the two youngsters under his care, however, Henrietta vows to seize what she wants even if it means stirring up a scandal. ![]() A beauty with a slight limp and a refreshingly forthright manner, Henrietta longs for marriage and children, but believes her weak hip precludes her from both. His penchant for modish clothing and fine filigree has led Londoners to label him an "exquisite," but his dashing good looks don't impress Lady Henrietta Maclellan. No one could accuse the lace-loving Simon Darby of being an alpha male cliche. Eschewing the formulas and character types found in many romances, this pert Regency pairs a dandified urbanite and a disabled heiress, which makes for some frank, funny exchanges. ![]() ![]() ![]() It isn’t long before Canyon’s traditional life falls apart and everything he thought he knew is shifting.Īlis is the total opposite of Canyon. Canyon sets his sights on ripping apart his father’s new happiness and the closet target is the new fiance’s son, Alis. Webster is great at capturing all the normal teenage angst along with all the emotions of a devastating blow such as this. Pretty much beyond angry and lashes out in drastic measures. The heartfelt tenderness, emotional agony, and overall angst that she brings out in her characters is so compelling it draws me in every single time that even though I burn through the pages, I never want to leave.įeuds and Reckless Fury is about two boys who would appear to be complete opposites, but inside may be more alike than they think.Ĭanyon in the beginning has a girlfriend, is a football player and comes from a traditional family – his life falls apart before his senior year, when his father leaves – not for another woman, but for a man.

The series begins in Bethesda, Maryland with the four girls beginning the summer prior to their junior year in high school, and then follows them through four consecutive summers, finally ending with the summer break following their freshman year of college. Carmen delivers the prologue and epilogue in first person in the first and fifth books and tends to play the role throughout the series of keeping the group of friends together.

So, what about ‘The Winner’s Trilogy’ by Marie Rutkoski? Like with ‘The Selection’ the focal point of the covers are Kestrel’s dresses…she just happens to be holding a sword. At least there’s a slightly dystopian looking background of curled clocks and cities. ![]() The appearance of Gwen, in fancy ball gowns, is quintessential to her time-travelling adventures – she needs to fit in with the societies she’s investigating. The ‘Precious Gems’ series by Kerstin Gier does the same thing as ‘The Selection’ series. Looking at these covers, you wouldn’t be expecting anything more than a cutesy light read. Only in the final book are the social injustice themes prominent. These books are very ‘girly’, focused on romance and making a good impression because of appearance. It makes sense, and links to the almost-beauty-contest concept of the novel. These stand out, as America’s dress is the central feature of the cover. The first collection of books are ‘The Selection’ series by Keira Cass. As part of the gendered covers debate, I thought for this ‘Cover Comparison’, I’d discuss some covers filled with girls in dresses, a classic trope used to obviously market books to a female audience. ![]() |
