Love Romance Novels in a Serious/Funny Vein?

Posted on March 23, 2011 by

My Dears;
If you love a good read that is not just your typical “bodice ripper” romance, please give Deanna Raybourn a chance. Her novels are mysteries, romances, lovely grammatically correct and Victorianly whimsical all at once. Her blog appears at http://www.deannaraybourn.com/blog/. However, start with her first novel; it will definitely keep you coming back for more, if you are addicted to that kind of thing, which I am. I do NOT enjoy the simple hot-sex, rip-my-clothes-off romp that are what are classified as “romances” these days. Raybourn’s novels are wonderful, simply put.

About msmouce

I teach English, primarily online, at TCC through the Virginia Beach campus, on one of our five campuses. We are spread out through Virginia, Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Portsmouth, Virginia. I teach composition most of the time. I no longer teach developmental English online, although I think that developmental English is important for our students. I just think it does a disservice to most of our developmental English students to put them in this environment because they need a more stabilizing influence as they find their way through college (and college-level English) than we can provide online. My English 3 students have been wonderful; however, I don't want to give them short shrift in class, which is what seems to happen online.
