(no subject)

Since I enjoyed Patricia Gaffney's Wild at Heart so much, I BookMooched her Fortune's Lady (They were natural enemies - traitor's daughter and zealous patriot - yet the moment he saw Cassandra Merlin at her father's graveside, Riordan knew he would never be free of her. She was the key to stopping a heinous plot against the king's life, yet he sensed she had her own secret reasons for aiding his cause.

But when it arrived, I was... what's the word for "so appalled I burst out laughing?" ... by the back cover blurb:

"Like moonspun magic... One of the best historical romances I have read in a decade!"
-CASSIE EDWARDS, Bestselling Author of THE SAVAGE SERIES

Cassie Edwards, in addition to writing books about "savage" Indians, which is an offense all my itself, turned out to not even be writing her own "savages": she was plagiarizing large chunks of prose from, I kid you not, both another novel and a scholarly article about blackfooted ferrets.

Then I opened the book. This was written in giant letters on the inside front cover:

HELP

I'M KIDNAPPED

I fear that actually reading the book may be a let-down.
