"Believe me, the British know all about bad sex."
Bad teeth = bad sex. Eeeewwww!
As for Wolfe, I think he's done for. His earlier novels were thought provoking and spot-on for the "times" they were portraying. I've yet to read a positive review of "Charolotte."
I guess anyone that sweats out the good novels he has over the decades could also produce a clunker. Sometimes people just need to stop writing and their publishers need to stop enabling them.
Bodice rippers? Best one EVER is "Shanna" by Kathleen Woodiwiss. Favorite contraband during my High School years, LOL! She's my "inner firey Irish lass!"
From the cover: "Shanna; a woman of surging desires of the spirit, the flesh, and the heart...Ruark; a man burning to possess her in vengeance and in ecstacy! Shanna; a romance of passion beyond wildest dreams!"
Enjoy in moderation, LOL!
This is only Wolfe's third novel.
Bonfire of the Vanities
A Man in Full
I am Charlotte Simmons
Everthing else is non-fiction with The Right Stuff at the top of the list.
I hope he picks up the pace a little or he might only have one more in him.
Heyyyy!
I'm not the only person who's read Shanna!
Shanna and Ruark!
I still have that book...
