I Need A Hero!

Last night I was watching an episode of the MTV show, Teen Mom.  Let me start by saying, this show is a like watching a never ending train wreck.  You want to turn away, flip the channel and forget you ever saw what just happened and yet, you can't.  I can't.  These girls, these kids, have made horror shows of their lives and I can't seem to stop watching it.  Anyone watching will immediately see the patterns of low self esteem, neglectful or more often than not, missing fathers and drug abuse. Almost all of the teen moms, whether they knew it or not, went looking for hero's in their high school boyfriends and are shocked, SHOCKED I tell you when it is revealed that they are nothing more than teenage boys.  So, this show got me to thinking about hero's and in particular the types of hero's found in the...

Stephanie Laurens – And Then She Fell

It seems like I’ve been waiting an eternity to read Stephanie Lauren’s latest novel, And Then She Fell. Which is really just a gross hyperbole, as this woman churns out novels at an alarming rate (eat your heart out, Nora Roberts). Nevertheless, finally having the book in my hands, I read with great swiftness. To varying reactions. Dubbed The Matchbreaker by the ton, Henrietta Cynster is renowned for breaking up ill-fated pairings. But when she urges her friend to turn down the delectable James Glossup, despite her best intentions, she makes a muddle of things. For James needs to marry within the month, if he wishes to keep his inheritence. And so The Matchbreaker becomes Matchmaker, offering to find James a wife. What Henrietta didn’t expect was to want the man for herself. The path to happily ever after is made all the murkier with a murderer intent on silencing...
