pickExcellently written and the nature writing was stunning, but this is not a romance! I feel like popular culture let me down. Or, as Claire O'Callaghan said much better in Emily Brontë Reappraised:
“I felt that the level of violence Heathcliff perpetrates was hugely troubling, and I couldn‘t understand why this rather demonic male lead (sorry, Heathcliff- ites) was celebrated as a romantic figure.“

#AyUpAugust Playing catch-up 😉Lots of #TaintedLove in this deeply contemplative story of a family on the brink of implosion. It‘s not an easy read but I‘m taking my time & allowing the authors‘ tone to simmer & boil.

“Once I ran to you...Now I‘ll run from you...” the lyrics made me think of these thrillers by Jennifer Hiller that feature #TaintedLove or relationships gone (very) bad. 🖤
pick#AyUpAugust Day 24: In this epic story, the plot thickens, boils, and bubbles over with passion laced with lewdness, lust tainted with sadomasochism or #TaintedLove, lovemaking styles edged with just the tiniest ounce of violence. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-35
Of love triangles and #taintedlove . #ayupaugust
