Customer Reviews

Good story, but...

3 Stars, Good historical novel, but... LUCKY PENNY by Catherine Anderson The author writes good historical novels, but I don't care for the interjected expletives throughout. In this particular novel, David, the leading male does cuss a lot, but there are vulgar sayings interspersed at unexpected times. The novel would be a perfect 5 stars without the vulgarities. David, a confirmed bachelor received a bundle of letters from Brianna, the single mother of Daphne who works constantly to support herself and her daughter. In the letters, Brianna and Daphne beg David to come to rescue them from their poor circumstances, claiming that David is the husband and father of the two females. The only problem is David doesn't recall ever getting married or fathering a child. He determines to rectify that, so his ladies don't suffer from his neglect. #luckypenny #historicalseries
