TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated Cameo Courtships: 4 Stories of Women Whose Lives Are Touched by a Legendary Gift in Books

Feb 24, 2021

What a cute set of stories!
This collection of stories about a Cameo passed down by Queen Elizabeth herself was so fun!
It was cool to imagine that actually happening, and then to see how the characters acted through their stories was remarkable. Truly a great retelling of a legend in a family tree. Two of these authors were previously unknown to me and now I can't wait to research them and see what other books they have written.
I would definitely recommend reading this book. This is not the first collection by Barbour Publishing that I have read but I will say to date that it is probably my favorite.
I volunteered to read this book from Barbour Publishing in exchange for my honest feedback, the thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

Zarek was a big mystery to me after the last book and I wanted to see what type of woman would get through to him. And lo and behold, it was Astrid! I loved delving into his history and seeing his inner thoughts. He wasn't the completely grumpy loner that he came across as, he was actually a really lonely guy that didn't feel like he was wanted or liked by anyone after a painful past. I so felt for him. And so did Astrid, who managed to melt his hard exterior to see the soft, gentle guy beneath.

There are still a lot of unanswered questions in regards to Acheron, he seems to be some sort of demi-god/Atlantean/god killer hybrid that scares even Artemis. Cannot wait to read his story.

"When I was at school, Raymond Pettibon was one of my favourite artists. I'm not into comic books and I don't really like comic book artwork for records and some people probably would describe Raymond Pettibon in that style. And yet despite that, he just has something else. He has ideas. That particular picture on the cover of Goo was an image I was familiar with before I even knew who Sonic Youth were, which is probably a bit unusual. I came across it in one of his books. As a sixteen-year-old there were so many of his images, especially when those images included text, that really sparked off my thoughts. I found them really evocative. Sonic Youth are obviously a brilliant band but I only came to learn that a lot later."

A decent read

Scout Donovan is a girl who believes in rules, logic, and her lifelong love of Charlie Hagan. Alex Cole believes in destiny, magic, and Scout. When Alex introduces Scout to the world of Shifters, men who change into wolves or coyotes during the full moon and Seers, women who can see your most private thoughts and emotions with a mere touch, the knowledge changes everything and everyone Scout thought she knew.

<strong>A decent read</strong>

This was Twilight without the vampires only better written. Don't get me wrong I like the twilight books but this just had the edge. It felt a little but rushed in places but for a first in the series it definitely made me want to continue reading.

Love triangle that ends in tragedy!
