These visitors long for comfort, consolation, and sometimes for more attention than the adolescent Penny wants her mother to give. Anyone interested in novels that like to mess with classic literature should pick up The Heroines by Eileen Favorite.

They appear at all hours of the day and in all manners of distress.

In this enchanting debut novel, Penny and her mother encounter great women from classic works of literature who make the Homestead their destination of choice just as the plots of their tumultuous, unforgettable stories begin to unravel. These novels, devoted to the lives of the Heroines that make them so irresistible, have a way of hitting too close to home-well, to the Homestead actually, where Anne-Marie runs the quaint family-owned bed and breakfast. Although a true lover of books, Anne-Marie Entwhistle prefers not to read to her spirited daughter, Penny, especially from the likes of Madame Bovary, Gone With the Wind, or The Scarlet Letter. ![]() ![]() Fane will now have to fight for the right to complete the mating bond, something that is his right by birth but is being denied him by a crazed Alpha.
