Picked this up to share: "theirs was a passion born of scandal"

set in post-Civil War Alabama, a powerful story, beautifully crafted characters, and sizzling sensuality
(from back cover)

Sending on to BC friend TNJeepGal.
Hope you enjoy reading/sharing it!

Thanks for The Scandalous Miss Howard, (and the lovely bookmark!) JDT! I plan on passing this along to my cousin when she comes for a visit. (I might just read it in the process too!) :)

Released on Tuesday, September 23, 2003 at pammyBABY's mailbox! :) in Burlington, Vermont USA.

Sending this one to pammyBABY! Hope you enjoy it! :)

THANK YOU TNJeepGal AND JDT too!

I was so excited to open my mailbox and see this book sitting there from TNJeepGal! What a thrill!

I took it out and immediately started reading it, and I'm about 2/3 of the way thru (yes, I AM a LITTLE obsessive, not to mention addicted to reading).

Thank you too, for the lovely postcard of that GORGEOUS purple rhododendron from the Great Smoky Mountains. I'm going to include a bookmark by a Vermont artist that I did a trade with for the next person who gets/finds the book. And speaking of that . . .

I'll make another entry after I've finished it, which hopefully won't take too long. Then off it'll go off to make new friends. I was originally going to give it to my Mom to read, but I think it's waaaaaaaaay too racy for her tastes. Do you (either of you) have a preference as to doing a wild release vs. a controlled release?

Thanks again, TNJeepGal for sending me the book, and thank YOU JDT for releasing it in the first place! You're both terrific BookCrossers!

I left this book here at the ATM (I've had great sucess with books being "caught" at ATM's, tho not such great luck with those catches being journaled, but hey, at least the book found a new reader, and it told me that was what it wanted.

Since the book was gone when I went back by the ATM I won't say "happy hunting" as I usually do -- please, PLEASE, come journal your find!


Oh no, I forgot to put my thoughts about the book down, oh well, here they are, belatedly:

I tend to like historical fiction from this period, so this book was no exception! At times it seemed like the writing was a bit simplistic and that the author was rushing on without fully fleshing out the information when she switched from "his viewpoint" to "hers" but all in all it was a pretty enjoyable read.

It has some pretty racy scenes in it, so it's not for everybody (I know my Mother would NOT have appreciated it!) but I liked it and can recommend it! Give it a try, you might like it!

Thanks again TNJeepGal for sending it on to me as a RABCK (random act of BookCrossing kindness) thanks again JDT for releasing the book in the first place!

Found it at the atm in Burlington Vermont and plan to leave it at another atm.
I just started to read it and will post my thoughts later.


CAUGHT IN BURLINGTON VT USA

I thought the book was good. It took me a little bit to get into it, but when I did it was fast reading. Sorry it took so long to read and release it- I was already reading a book when I caught it at the Merchants Bank atm in downtown Burlington, VT. You may see 2 entries from me I guess the first one didn't get my info. The book has some pretty sexy scenes so to whom ever receives it next enjoy! Happy Reading! This is a great thing! I will release it at another Atm.... JMA
