I urge those people to take a chance on it. I wondered how it was going to work myself ... until I read it! Renee is so skilled though, that she really makes it work here, and if anything, it actually enhances the story. You'll have to read it to Trent Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533401208548709635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164186761666324757.post-52513381795301508792013-05-04T01:41:03.983-04:002013-05-04T01:41:03.983-04:00You shouldn't take it ti heart, Renee.

It is funny to think about the pimp daddy becoming the hero. <br /><br />I don't think it's a scenario that many writers could make me love, but Renee has that special way about her...oh...does that sound naughty?

That's what a book discussion is supposed to be about---sharing our thoughts in a respectful way. <br /><br />Maybe you could download the free sample of the book and see what you think? <br /><br />After I was partway through the book I stopped and thought "gee, they're prostitutes"...sometimes I'm slow on the uptake...but then I kept Celeste Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17636997442600551241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164186761666324757.post-46655572200230774292013-05-03T14:34:20.089-04:002013-05-03T14:34:20.089-04:00We're going to be talking about this book all ...We're going to be talking about this book all month, so I hope you'll come back, Joey!

I couldn't think of any way the hero could be redeemed after being a pimp daddy, LOL. Of course I ended up loving the book, and the way Cora and Daddy Diggs were thrown into their current situations really made it work. And Daddy Diggs...oh goodness he was so stern and hot!Sue Lyndonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420556675096411446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164186761666324757.post-46446180956052911262013-05-03T13:30:10.705-04:002013-05-03T13:30:10.705-04:00I love westerns, and some aspects of my new book w...I love westerns, and some aspects of my new book will have a western theme (though more like West World as it's set in the future). I'm particularly fond of them when they involve Native Americans. There's something truly exotic and yet approachable about that society.<br /><br />As for a whore house...that's quite a leap for me.

I felt deep sympathy for her as basically a slave in a whorehouse resulting from bad circumstances beyond her control. Second, I thought that the Devil as her savior and lover was very touching both for him and Cora. <br /><br />Also, the spanking scenes were very well described and the sex hot as isAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164186761666324757.post-676129502937396202013-05-03T10:27:22.690-04:002013-05-03T10:27:22.690-04:00THANK YOU for discussing the Devil of Whiskey Row ...THANK YOU for discussing the Devil of Whiskey Row today!!<br /><br />So the gritty truth is that I'M not that huge a fan of westerns. I live in the old west, so maybe it's not different enough to be romantic. <br /><br />I do love movies like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid or 3:10 to Yuma, but I think it's because I need the bank robbers or the brothels to pique my interest. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04842027321593278610noreply@blogger.com
