Madelaine LeBlanc was raised in the luxurious world of Creole plantation owners, where she lacked no material comforts. But in her seventeenth year, just before the start of the Civil War, her life seems empty and meaningless. Her best friend and countless others slave away just because of the color of their skin, and Cajuns living nearby in the bayous lead lives of poverty. After a devestating hurricane, Madelaine's father hires many of the Cajuns, who will work repairing the plantating. Madelaine, while out riding, meets by chance Francoise Jarosseau, one of the laborers. This begins a secret, forbidden romance that could lead to Francoise's death and extreme punishment for Madelaine if her father discovers the truth. A second hurricane keeps Francoise at the plantation, working, but it also brings a wealthy suitor for Madelaine, Rory Quinn. Madelaine must avoid the seemingly charming Rory's flirtations without arrousing her father's suspicions. As a final, even more devestating hurricane approaches, Madelaine and Francoise find themselves not only fighting for their love, but for their lives. This book is a romantic story about remaining hopeful and keeping love alive even when all odds seemed stacked against you. Recommended to readers who enjoy young adult historical romance.

This book leaves so many storylines unresolved. How can he wrap it up in 2 more books?
This book is totally misrepresented by its title - do not be fooled! A book titled "The Year of Pleasures" should be ABOUT the year of pleasures and not actually be about a year of misery leading up to the decision to avoid suicide for a while longer and have some fun. I thought this would be a light, happy read, and it was instead the most depressing thing I've read in years. That said, if you're in the mood for a good cry, this is your book, hence the two stars.

I really enjoy fluffy mystery novels like these. Ones where the protagonist is light, fun and interesting, she isn’t perfect, but she’s also not TSTL. I especially enjoy them when the mystery isn’t too easy to figure out. The books in the Pepper Martin series are fun, perfect summer reading with just the right amount of love interest, intrigue and mystery. As much as I love books like this, I don’t think I would ever own them unless given to me as a prize in a contest or as a present. But I definitely recommend them to anyone who loves fun, flighty mysteries. There really isn’t anything different to say about each book as they follow the same formula and saying more than that would give away the plot of the book.

Outstanding. This woman can write. Each short story fascinated me. Most made me uncomfortable at some point. But, I appreciated that very much. I am certain that I will read this book again in the future, so I can revel in the quality of the writing and meet the characters one more time.

I liked Man Walks Into a Room, but couldn't get into this book. The first part is about an unlikable writer who trends toward selfishness. I liked the voice and the writing, but not the character. The second part took place in Israel, and was about an old man whose wife died. His son returns from London and the two have a contentious relationship. The third part took place in London and a man visits another writer. That's as far as I got before calling it quits. Each section has a different narrator, but is written in this strange style that feels like the characters are addressing the reader. Overall, after 80 some pages I'm not into it and the novel isn't gelling. I'm sure the stories come together somehow, but I don't have the patience for it.
