Can you please write a complete novel on viola? among the three cousins, I find her most interesting and am intrigued to know how she would find her happy ending.
“Clean” in this context just means “free of.” Different readers and authors have differing comfort levels as far as on-page content. It’s not pretending sex doesn’t exist so much as making available books for readers who don’t wish to read explicit scenes. Hopefully that helps clarify a bit 🤍 thank you so much for listening! I’m so happy you enjoyed the story.
Yes, we all do, but I'm not voyeuristic, I don't want to watch or listen to you or anyone else having sex. Not to I want to read a discription of people doing it. There is enough of it elsewhere, it's nice to read something that doesn't rely on sex scenes to be a good book.
Thank you for commenting and letting me know how the story affects you. I would love to hear how you appreciate this topic being handled in historical fiction and romance if you care to share.
@@AuthorMarthaKeyes I must confess that I the minute I heard that the hero and his business partners were going to make/improve their fortunes in Jamaica, my mind went to the REAL condition of slaves at that time and I couldn't continue to listen. You may or may not have portrayed them as warm, sensitive and humane slave owners and I congratulate you on your literary skills if you managed that feat. However, it would have sent a totally wrong and misleading impression. I would prefer the truth to be told. The horrors of life and love; the brutality meted out to young lovers, the rapes and mutilations and murders; the violent separation of families and the heartache experienced to enable the enjoyment and profit of their masters. There is no SWEET romance to be shared in those 300 plus years. When I read a novel, I am fully committed to the hero/heroine. I want all that is good for them and rejoice at the end. I could not see myself doing that in this story. I would feel like a traitor to my people. I will read all of your other works but not these set in slavery days. I hope you can appreciate my sentiments. It is still raw because the effects are still being experienced even in 2023.. If you don't mind, please let me know which of your other series are SWEET for me. I wish you all the best.
@beverlyhall1672 your ancestors were slaves not you. Africans on the islands and in USA have own slaves in the past. There's still slavery going on in Africa. So why are you reading white authors books when there are black authors. The reason it triggers you is because you won't let it go.
I LOVE and greatly appreciate clean books, especially regency novels! Thank you so much!

“Clean” stories?
Everybody has sex. Why pretend it didn’t exist. It’s all part of the of our own stories.
Loved this story ❤

I enjoyed your Families of Dorset series but can't listen to this as a descendant of slaves in Jamaica.
