Victoria Season 2 Episode 1

Yep, the Middle East can be cold, people.

Looks like someone is regretting last season's rant about not nursing.

Why is she in a wheelchair? She gave birth; she didn't get hit by a carriage!

 She could use a little "distress", Albert. And I agree with Duke of Wellington.

Yeah, women's liberation hasn't happened yet, honey. To these guys, you are a walking uterus.

Why did the PM let that little squint tell her what to do? Ad her mother is still annoying.

Ha, love Victoria's saying that God had nothing to do with sex.

Well they do, Albert.

Hello, food poisoning.

Hate to break it to you, honey, but you will have eight more confinements.

It's always weird to come back from vacation, or maternity leave.

Ooh, 19th century intrigue.

Victoria is so good at the put-downs. Listen to Albert.

Victoria. He's being a schmuck about not telling you important information, but on this, he has a point.

What's wrong with the duchess, Peel?

No duckie wallpaper for this baby.

It's Diana Rigg!

Poor girl. Curtsies can't be easy, with or without a corset.

Albert is every idiotic man in history right now.

Damn, Diana Rigg is a party pooper!

Ha. Careful what you wish for.

Hallo the in-laws!

Sorry your girlfriend left. Ernest.

Ew. Cock-a-leekie soup does not look like that.

The Victorian version of sleeping on the couch.

When Ernst becomes the voice of reason, things are bad.

It takes a strong man to openly do needlepoint.

Pretty cake.

Awkward christening.

Harriet's husband is a douche.

Damn. That is one lucky soldier. Poor guy.

Let's hope Parliament is quieter nowadays.

Have you walked around London lately, Victoria? Plumbing is kind of important.

Nice muff.

"Little Vickie" knows how to emote.

Swoon.

Review: A Rake's Guide to Seduction

A Rake's Guide to Seduction by Caroline Linden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

He sounds more fun than any of these toffs.

Are you inbred, Euston? Get a clue!

Holy crap, two hundred thousand pounds?! No wonder she has got every bachelor in London sniffing at her.

What the heck is he investing in? Is it really worth living like this?

Bertie sounds like he might be in the closet.

Poor thing, she's the odd man out in her own family now.

Is David her half-brother, then?

She burned his love letter?! Gah.

Whoa, that was kinda sexy, Mr. Beecham.

Preach it, Warfield. Rosalind is a snob, and has judged poor Anthony on what she has heard.

Ermm...at least they were done?

The duke and Celia are the only rational people in this family.

He's trying to help you, Percy. You should listen.

Whoo boy. Who knew a foot massage could be so erotic?

Louisa, just because you're unhappy in your marriage doesn't mean everyone else should be as well.

Never go to Vegas, Anthony. Or Monte Carlo.

Is it hot in here? Those two weeks better come fast!

My money's on Ned. Called away "unexpectedly" on an "immediate" matter? That has "setting up an alibi" all over it.

Haha! This is hilarious! Ned was not counting on Celia being so unbiddable.

Go get 'er, Warfield.

Worst father ever.

Review: This Old Cafe

This Old Cafe by Marci Boudreaux
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The guy told her she had to lose twenty pounds, and she still married him?

So the poor man really is homeless? And a veteran?!

Wait, his uncle lives in the same town, yet he is homeless and eating out of dumpsters? Bastard!

It sounds like everything he did that was "dangerous" was done to help people.

How lovely that they are helping each other. Not just physically, with her providing him with food and shelter while he does manual labor for her. But emotionally as well. They both had such low self-esteem at the beginning.

What's wrong with tile? It looks better.

Haha, Annie is evil!

Is it hot in here? Dayum.

I totally understand why he left.

People are weird. Who wants to eat where you know someone was attacked?

Review: Out of Sight

Out of Sight by Melissa Klein
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ooh, a rainfall showerhead. Nice.

Reading is like breathing to me as well.

I hate Tripp.

No news is good news. No evidence means someone's hiding something.

It sounds like she was a target. Could Tripp have put a hit out on her?

I wonder what Hank was diagnosed with.

The woman at the institution is a witch.

He really needs to stop drinking.

Damn. That would be a bad diagnosis for anybody, but especially a pilot.

Patience is a virtue, honey. I know, it's hard.

Jamie is a good person.

That mama's boy definitely either hired someone or set the fire himself.

They're cute together.

Ha, she likes slapping him in the stomach.

Damn, all three brothers have it?

What good are cops if they don't rush to help?

It's like we've entered the Twilight Zone.

I need an epilogue!

Review: The Scot Beds His Wife

The Scot Beds His Wife by Kerrigan Byrne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

That's child abuse!

Damn, I wish his mother could get a divorce, or at least run away with Thorne, maybe even Liam.

Thank God his mother survived!

Crap, I thought Liam would turn out okay. I guess that night was the tipping point. Is Hamish the one who was hanged? Because I wouldn't have minded that.

Did the government allow you to change your last name like that?

What just happened?

Really, Sam, You just met a hot Highlander, and you're thinking you might have to shoot him one day?

What is he, in the mafia? Does he always travel in a pack?

Whoa. She is really taking this acting job seriously. If I didn't know better, I'd think she actually was Alison Ross.

A lot of cursing going on.

Small world.

They did not have that phrase in the 1800's.

Yep, Callum knows.

She keeps tripping up with things that the Scottish-born Alison would know.

He was going to shoot a pregnant cow! Shouldn't he know the signs of labor if he is going to be a cattle baron? Although it is cute how mesmerized he is by the miracle of life.

Shoot, she's pregnant. A baby is always a blessing, though.

Damn, things just escalated quickly. Her brothers-in-law must have followed her.

When did Dorian enter the picture, I wonder.

Aw, I sense a love match between his mother and Callum's father.

Only he could propose, and in the next breath plan their eventual affairs.

Should pregnant women be taking laudanum? I always wondered.

Whose name will she sign on the marriage certificate?

Yeesh, a branding iron? Ouch!

I like how she talks back to His Lairdship.

Does this make the real Alison a bigamist?

Um, guys? Did you forget you're outside, and that he was about to go on a ride with other men?

They're just so cute together!

Colleen was schizophrenic.

Just when you think your problems are over, the cops show up.

Sex on a train.

They say the true test of a relationship is travel.

Ruh-roh!

Haha, I know, right?

Such a great set-up for future books.

Review: Tempting Fate

Tempting Fate by Pamela Clare
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

She must have been dirt-poor if it took her five years to take this trip.

Damn, this got ugly fast.

Wow, he's super smart.

Good boy, Shota!

Shoot, this is eerily similar to poor Win's experience.

Small world.

Who knew search-and-rescue could be geeky?

Oh, you don't say "tribe"? Good to know.

Man, she was homeless at one point? Has anything fantastic ever happened to this woman?

I never heard of these occupations. They should teach more about Native history in school.

These agents suck.

Chaska is really good at this tracking thing. He does his ancestors proud.
Now this is a good hospital!

I have no idea what he does for a living, but it sounds important.

There are jerks in every culture.

Does anyone charge for a rescue?

Have a little self-respect, Nicole.

Crap, I'm sorry that happened to your friend, Megs.

What's the point of a shelter if you make restrictions on who can stay? Idiots.

That was so cool! I would be scared to death, but that was interesting.

That is a beautiful way of looking at the human body.

Bastards.

I love Bear.

Ouch! You definitely can't be a wimp and do the Sun Dance.

Yeah, I don't blame him for being mad at his father.

Um, what's the deal with the jalapenos?

Now that's the way to learn a new language!

Damn, our poor vets.

Doug slept with the girl, and called her house. You'd think he'd know her name.

Aw, I want to cry!

This is like Scripture Ping-Pong.

There's people who have "smart" homes, while the original settlers of our country don't have water and electricity?!

It's good that they as a Nation feel a sense of pride and want to get back to their roots.

Even her "new" parents are matchmaking, haha.

Ohh. One bride-price, fulfilled.

You should read the Author's Note, everybody.
