Highland Secret ( Highland Magic 1)
By Kerrigan Byrne
⭐️⭐️⭐️
He's cursed with eternal silence...
Roderick MacLauchlan is death for hire. Blessed by an ancient Deity with Berserker rage, he has the strength of ten men. Cursed by a malicious enemy, he's incapable of speech. A desperate clan war rages around him and a malevolent adversary lurks in the darkness, calling for blood.
Evelyn Woodhouse is an English refugee with a dangerous secret. She has the ability to see the outcome of tomorrow's battle and knows they're on the wrong side of it. When a doomed and silent mercenary rescues her from a fate worse than death, it seems he has his own plans for her. This is his last night alive and she's never been able to defy destiny.
This was a fast super sweet mating story of a Scottish mute Berserker and his English kitchen maid. Super fast and a fun little read! Lust filled.

David McK (3576 KP) rated Carry on, Jeeves (Jeeves, #3) in Books

Rather than a novel in its own right, this is a loosely connected collection of Jeeves and Wooster short stories, all told ion the first person narrative (nearly all by Wooster except the very last) and largely split between the UK and the US.
In the collection I read, the stories included are as follows:
1) Jeeves Takes Charge (the first meeting of Jeeves and Wooster!)
2) The Artistic Career of Corky (New York)
3) Jeeves and the Unbidden Guest (New York again)
4) Jeeves and the Hard-Boiled Egg (also in New York)
5) The Aunt and the Sluggard (still New York)
6) The Rummy Affair of Old Biffy (Paris)
7) Without the Option (London)
8) Fixing it for Freddie (English seaside)
9) Clustering Round Young Bingo (English countryside)
10) Bertie Changes His Mind (the one told from Jeeves point of view)
Whilst maybe not the best PG Wodehouse Jeeves books I've read, they are nice as a palate cleanser after something heavier!

[Boonkie In The Community] has a very good story and message to tell. Unfortunately, the writing gets in the way. It is obvious that the author's first language is not English but that actually lends some validity to the voice. What is needed is a bit of copy editing and cleaning up of formatting. The story is one that deserves to be told and deserves to be told well with the authors true voice.

Peter G. (247 KP) rated Unforgiven (1992) in Movies
Jun 5, 2019
I'm not one for western movies, however this one is the exception, Eastwood' s character is so interesting and multi faceted as the old gunslinger turned vigilante, but it's Gene Hackman's scene stealing turn as the hard talking and hard nosed sheriff Little Bill that adds grit to this movie, Richard Harris is also amazing as English Bob, Morgan Freeman also gives us a glimpse of his greatness in an early role.
A fictional biography of Mark and his relationship with Peter. Unfortunately, it reads more like a biography of Peter, and much of Mark's life is whitewashed. Furthermore, the characters going from modern English to New King James to quote scripture (much less how much scripture is quoted) makes this novel laughable.
