![]() ![]() No, this first half of the book is pure, unadulterated delight as Mel and Will trade barbs worthy of any Shakespearean funny couple. Let’s not question the rationale of such a plan, shall we, for we all know that in the local gaol, one can pick handsome, sexy, all-round-hunk and roguish men like William Taggart. So Mel decides, hola! She will go to the local gaol, pick up a criminal, fake a marriage, and when Eileen is safely wedded, send that fellow off with a pouch of coins. You see, the naughty Grandpa Mooresby who holds the financial reins of the family has declared that Eileen can’t marry unless Mel marries first. Eileen is pregnant with her fiance’s child, and to save Eileen’s good name, Mel must marry. The shrewish She-Devil of Mooresby Hall is Melisande who runs the entire Mooresby holding with an iron grip. Ms Claybourne has obviously taken a leaf out of William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew for the plot. It’s all here in this book, Tiger by the Tail by Casey Claybourne. It’s true, I swear! I saw it – or rather, read it – with my own eyes. ![]() Not only that, these little green monsters substitute the abductees with clones. Alien abductions occur also in books, romance novels included. ![]()
