in 1998 i saw part of an old asian vampire film on tv . it was subtitled , in colour . the vampires in it had red nails , and sort of
hopped
about , and they went up to people and repeatedly stabbed them with their nails . to protect themselves , the humans wore bullet proof vests . it ' s all i can really remember . i don ' t think it was supposed to be humorous , but it might have been , i was just a kid when i saw it . i really wanted to see this film , but i couldn’t find it . someone pointed me in the direction of the mr vampire series . there are 5 films made between 1986 and 1992 : mr vampire i , mr vampire ii , mr vampire iii , mr vampire iv , and new mr vampire 1992 . the first one and the last one are the only ones considered to be direct sequels , despite the lead actor ( lam ching - ying ) playing the “unibrow” character in 1 - 3 and 5 .

the chinese name for this film is the mr spiritual fantasy ( various translations are available for this , this is the one i saw most often ) . it makes more sense , as mr vampire 3 doesn’t have vampires in it ! no , all ghosts and uh . . . evil taoists ?
what , no magic cop ? magic cop is awesome . i ' d put it up there with the original mr . vampire . spooky encounters is great too , though it ' s pretty episodic . exorcist master is pretty good . so are vampire vs . vampire , first vampire in china , return of the demon , and , um , wizard ' s curse , if you don ' t mind a villain that kills people with his energy - schlong . and witch with the flying head . there ' s actually another in the mr . vampire series , new mr . vampire 1988 , which i don ' t recommend , even if it ' s by huang ying . the movie you saw , with the bulletproof vest , sounds like it ' s probably one of the taiwanese movies , like the 3 - d army and chess boxing matrix , very kid - centric . either that or close encounters of a vampire , starring chris yen as a child .

mr . vampire was nominated for thirteen awards , including two for best supporting actor ( billy lau and lam ching - ying ) . out of the thirteen nominations the film only received one award for best original film score .
mr vampire is a 1985 hong kong comedy horror film directed by ricky lau and produced by sammo hung . the film ' s box office success led to the creation of a mr . vampire franchise , with the release of four sequels directed by ricky lau from 1986 to 1992 , and subsequent similarly themed films with different directors released between 1987 and 1991 . the film was released under the chinese title 暫時停止呼吸 ( literally : hold your breath for a moment ) in taiwan .
the movie ' s great , but the four stars is for the blu - ray . for some reason the only blu - ray release of the first mr . vampire was only in japan and it ' s pricy for what you get .
was well received in taiwan , south asia , and especially in japan , where it inspired a vampire craze with toys and a lot of other merchandise that had a vampire on them .
hal ' s name , which is a short form of henry , alludes to the devil ( called

mr . vampire ( also known as hold your breath for a moment ) is a 1985 hong kong supernatural horror comedy , directed by ricky lau , and produced by sammo hung . it was notable for helping the supernatural / vampire genre into the whole asian film industry . the film was an immediate success and was followed by three sequels , a 1992 remake ( with hung producing again ) and several spin - offs .

director ricky lau wanted a fresh - faced girl whom people were unfamiliar with to play the role of mr yam ' s daughter so he avoided choosing a well - known actress . he spotted dancer
after ‘mr . vampire 3’ saw a return to form for the series , it was a surprise to see the next instalment arrive without the charismatic lam ching ying . instead , we have anthony chan as the grumpy taoist priest ( reprising his cameo role from the original ) , with wu ma as his feuding monk neighbour !
when the ghost flies through the window to save her love from the vampire , the cable causing her flight is briefly seen .
our vampires are different : these are the chinese vampire variety which hop , have stiff limbs , and act differently than western vampires .
a related television series titled vampire expert ( 殭屍道長 ) starring lam ching - ying was broadcast from 1996 to 1997 . however , during the filming of the third season , lam developed liver cancer and died before the project was completed . the first season of my date with a vampire , a television series produced by atv , was specially dedicated to lam , and the story was based on future events in vampire expert .
highly successful at the time , both in hong kong and as a cult film favorite with overseas enthusiasts of hong kong cinema , it inspired numerous parodies and homage films . the film launched lam ching - ying ' s character , the unibrowed taoist exorcist , whom he would portray not only in the mr . vampire sequels , but also in many other films , including unrelated ones .
overall , this is possibly the second best of the true mr . vampire films and is a worthy purchase for all hk horror fans . as expected , it is still lacking when compared to the overall polish of the original , and it would have been nice to have lam ching ying on board . nevertheless , this is still good fun , and provides everything one could ask for from a film of this genre .
also filmed in the new territories were the scene where the police go to find the vampire in the cave and the scene in which a body is being burnt .
jerk ass : wai , who treats kau ' s assistants like crap , he arrests uncle kau for having long sharp nails , which the hopping vampire used to kill yam .
huang ha as master yam ( 任老爺 ) , a rich man . he is apparently killed by the vampire but later rises from the dead to become like his late father .
a child prince is transporting a vampire with a convoy , passing the main characters . why would a prince be transporting something that will potentially try to eat him ? who knows . but it goes without saying that the vampire gets out of the coffin and attacks the neighbours and they have to defeat it , along with all the other vampires it just turned .
the brother of a local business baron is killed by a hopping corpse , a creature from chinese jiangshi fiction . chin and his disciple set to bury the corpse but their plans are foiled by wu who allows the corpse to turn into a vampire . meanwhile , hsiao in a grave robbery attempt accidentally awakens a female corpse ( wong siu fung ) who eventually turns out to be the marshal ' s ( shum wai ) wife . during the commotion , wu steals the vampire and sets it loose but is restrained by chin who transports and hides the vampire in a hotel run by wu ma . the marshal discovers them and his reanimated wife but the vampire is let loose once more by wu and they all team up with the marshal and his army to stop it .
the planned reburial of a village elder goes awry as the corpse resurrects into a hopping , bloodthirsty vampire , threatening mankind . therefore , a taoist priest and his two disciples attempt to stop the terror .
badass teacher : as exasperated as uncle kau is by the stupidity of his two students , he ' ll still do whatever it takes to protect them and take down any vampire or ghost who goes after them .
during a reburial for one of the town ' s great ancestors , the taoist - priest - turned - vampire - hunter master gau determines that the corpse has joined the legions of the undead , and . . .
the mr . vampire series is not known for being action packed , but this certainly contains its fair share of bone - crunching moments . chin kar lok steals the show with some excellent acrobatics , falls and kicks leaving wu ma and anthony chan to show off the typical taoist techniques seen in all similar genre flicks . it was nice to see a few of sammo hung’s stunt troupe such as yuen wah and chung fa get some meatier roles , although wah is not used for his fighting skills . instead , he camps it up to the extreme providing another memorable character to add to his diverse list .
ïvely lets the young vampire go . when hal returns he is attacked and knocked out by an enraged tom , who then ties him back to the chair and asks him what happened . hal explains about the car accident and claims that he never drank crumb ' s blood , and that he only turned the man because he felt responsible for his death . hal is untied after alex admits to releasing crumb , and the three rush to confront the young vampire at his place of work , where he has just killed the manager ' s nephew . hal , tired of having survived for centuries while all around him good people die , is ready to stake both himself and crumb in order to end it all . however , tom and alex persuade him not to do so . crumb is then taken into custody by mr rook and his clandestine government department .
one - winged angel : the vampire returns for the final confrontation this way ; its clothes are in tatters , its hair stringy , more decay present and much more vicious than before . . . and weapons won ' t kill it .
when lying in a forest in belarus , presumably dying , he willingly accepted the chance to be turned into a vampire by an army surgeon . at some point afterwards he went on a bloody rampage across europe with fergus ( who he had recruited ) , which lasted at least until 1855 . by this point his sheer brutality and carnal bloodlust had gained him a reputation , and other vampires were afraid of him - including the old ones ( except for mr . snow ) . at some point in his life he gained the name ' lord harry ' , though it is unclear if this is an actual title or just a nick - name .

if the trinity do manage to escape the devil ' s illusions , it is almost certain that hal is still a vampire , but it is not certain whether he is under the control of his ' good ' or ' evil ' personality .
the four - eyed taoist , from the first mr vampire returns , but maybe only in spirit ? he’s played by the same actor ( anthony chan ) . in the first one he’s priest four eyes . it might be the same way as lam ching - ying playing the “unibrow” main leads in the first , second , third , and fifth movies , but in the second and third films he is actually a different character . not too sure but the priest four eyes and the four - eyed taoist seem to do the same job , transporting vampires for proper burials ( though in the fourth film it’s not explained why he is transporting the vampires ) .
this one is about a vampire family ( mother , father , and small boy ) that is accidentally let loose in the city . the little boy is separated from his family and stays with a human girl and boy who try to hide him from their father . much of the humour didn’t do it for me in this one . lam ching - ying , who played master kau in the previous film , is here as the owner of a medicine store . no disciples , and his daughter gigi and his prospective son - in - law are flat characters . it was an ok film . i liked the design of the vampire family , and i hated the human family . sorry pudgy kids , i just couldn’t care less if the vampire boy ate you .
when they catch up with hatch at the television studio , hatch sends each of the trio into an illusory alternate reality , giving them the chance to remain human . hal finds himself on a belarusian battlefield , dying of a lance wound . hatch tries to convince him not to call out to the approaching vampire surgeon , and to die as a human rather than become a supernatural predator who would murder thousands of people . hal is almost persuaded , but rejects the illusion because it does not feel right without tom and alex present . at this point , hal and the others ( seemingly ) regain their senses in the tv studio , and a fight breaks out between the them and the devil ' s mind - controlled humans . in the fight , the flask containing the vampire blood is shattered along with the vial of tom ' s blood , preventing them carrying out the ritual . however , mr rook arrives with a high - calibre rifle and kills captain hatch ' s body .
this movie was a fun time ! i was a fan of the nes game
phantom fighter
for a long time . it was based on mr . vampire . i just ended up playing the game again recently in my nastalgic state i usaully am in and read that it was fashioned after this movie . so i decided to order it , and i was not let down . even better than the game ! plus , i am a fan of old kung fu movies anyway . so they got me all the way . i dont think i will even see the remake as i am just as pleased with this one . deffinetly get this movie if you like black magic / comedy / zombie style kung fu flicks .
this film is about master kau , a unibrowed taoist priest specializing in supernatural arts , and his two bumbling disciples man - choi and chau - sang ( renamed dan and harry in the sub and dub i watched . . . seriously ) . master kau is asked to rebury a rich man on behalf of their relatives but they discover that he is a vampire . while they are trying to stop it , man - choi is infected by the vampire virus and chau - sang falls in love with a ghost woman , so master kau has to do pretty much everything .

this series is about the geung si , chinese for
hopping
vampire or zombie , though the dubs and subs i had only used the term vampire , as far as i can recall . i didn’t even know that hopping vampires was a thing , but it is , and it is awesome . like a zombie they hold their hands out in front of them . like a stiff rabbit they hop . awesome . you can learn more about geung si from this wikipedia article . in this universe the vampires can smell your breath , so if you hold it in , they can’t find you . also , you can cover yourself in oil and they won’t be able to see you .
henry [ 1 ] or harry [ 2 ]
hal
yorke is an english vampire who has lived for more than 500 years and first appears in series 4 . his age and power are sufficient that he is considered an old one , though at the time of his appearance he has forsworn any allegiance to his own kind . he is notable in that as a vampire , he had two personas that he switched between every few decades in cycles ; one kind and good natured , the other cruel , sadistic and evil . following the devil ' s apparent destruction , hal ' s humanity was seemingly restored and thus his two personas were apparently either merged or replaced with a new one .
personally , i think that everyone should see mr . vampire , if only so that they can claim to have seen a kung fu zombie comedy . but , in my opinion , this is almost more of a chinese ghostbusters with some kung fu sprinkled in than a kung fu movie , which was somewhat of a disappointment for me . the story is fun , fresh and full of more than just zombies ( although i won ' t reveal any surprises ) . the action , when it occurs is fully justified , which is something i always like to see , and is choreographed quite well by lam ching - ying . the comedy is somewhat hit or miss , but it didn ' t bother me very much . i had a lot of fun but i came away wanting more action . if you feel the same way , try encounters of a spooky kind , which has all the zombies you love , but with more kung fu .
taoist priest kau ( lam ching ying ) is asked by rich businessman yam , to organize a reburial for yam ' s father , to prevent his corpse from coming back to life as a geung - si ( or simply a chinese vampire ) . however , things go wrong as expected , the corpse comes alive , and creates havoc in the village .
seeing as almost all of the old ones were killed by annie at the conclusion of the war child ( though hettie did escape ) it is possible that hal is the oldest known vampire in the world . with eve ' s future timeline averted , it is possible that hal is no longer destined to return to a monstrous lifestyle . however , the chance that this may yet happen is a constant fear for him .
taoist priest kau is engaged to perform a reburial for a deceased rich man . together with his inept students man - choi and chau - sang , kau discovers that the corpse is still almost intact and looks alive . they attempt to prevent the corpse from resurrecting by drawing magical lines all over the coffin , but the corpse still breaks out and becomes a geung si ( chinese
hopping
vampire , or zombie ) .
, hal storms back to honolulu heights and threateningly tells larry to leave . when alex eventually does convince tom to come back home , they find hal in the house with lady mary , who is trying to stake him . mary tells them that it is inevitable that hal will feed and kill again , but alex convinces her that hal is no longer mary ' s problem . after mary has left , tom asks hal about where larry went . hal tells him that he did not give larry much choice about leaving . we then see the rest of hal ' s argument with larry , in which hal briefly reverts to his murderous vampiric personality , and strangles the werewolf before calling mr rook to dispose of the body .
seems pitched down at a juvenile level . the opening scene where intrepid adventurers enter into a cave only for the buffoonish assistant to get a snake down his boxer shorts should give one some indication of the level this one comes pitched on . there is much raucous silliness  the scenes with the vampire child ok kid hiding in closets , scaring people and especially a scene hiding in the back of the assistants car and turning their radio on and off are excruciating . certainly , some of the scenes , especially with the vampire hopping around the lab and the assistant trying to pin a prayer between both their foreheads , are choreographed with a good deal of energy , and there are some occasionally inspired images  like that of the family of vampires gracefully hopping away across the roofs of cars in a traffic jam while chaos and panic erupts around them . mostly though ,
stern teacher : it ' s easy to see why uncle kau can be a cranky guy who comes down hard on his students , considering his two students are constantly goofing off , screwing up on the job , getting him injured in some of their pranks , and generally being too dumb to live by getting themselves either possessed by ghosts or turned into a vampire . it ' s a wonder he doesn ' t turn full sadist teacher on the two .
as a vampire , hal possesses immortality and enhanced strength and senses . furthermore , as an old one , he is stronger than younger vampires and is completely immune to religious items such as a cross . also , he doesn ' t need to be invited into a house to be able to enter it . hal possess great knife handling skills , presumably learned when he was a soldier during the early 16th century . for example , he was able to gain the upper hand during his knife fight with lady catherine , toying with her , and hold his own for a while when fighting tom , who is a hardened and skilled vampire hunter . he possesses a good knowledge of the supernatural , allowing him to perform the ritual to trap the devil and identify rare species like succubi and demons . finally , he seems to have great charismatic skills as he rallied several new vampires under his command in a few minutes .
laser - guided karma : wai , being the dirty cop that he is , decides to frame uncle kau for murder . during his interrogation , he even makes it clear that if kau doesn ' t give a confession by the next day , he would brand kau with a burning hot iron . shortly afterwards , the vampire awakens and cue all sorts of comical violence being inflicted upon wai and at one point , wai even gets branded by the burning hot iron he wanted to brand kau with .
hal has been compared to other vampire mitchell by the fans of the tv series , due to him replacing mitchell as a main cast member . however , in a lot of ways , hal and mitchell ' s personalities can be seen as polar opposites . for example , mitchell has great social skills , even with humans , but hal seems to be socially awkward at times , especially with humans . mitchell ' s method of staying clean is friendships and the fear of disappointing the people he cares about , while hal ' s method involves routines and structure .
in order to carry out a ritual which would trap the devil in a physical body and weaken him so that he can be killed . the ritual was intended to use the blood of the vampire and werewolf leaders , plus the ghost ' s own essence in order to bind the devil . hal , fearing any backlash that might result from his own blood being used , instead took some blood from one of his vampiric soldiers . as a result the spell was only a partial success : the devil was bound into the body of a local lunatic ( later revealed as
in the last little while i’ve been faced with some grown - up decisions to make . pros and cons lists were made , people were considered , or not . it’s more difficult now that i have to consider more than just myself in my future . i also hit a wall with my parents’ truck . it was a small wall that will be fine when i get around to fixing it . with all this seriousness , naturally , i said “ fuck it ” and decided to watch chinese comedy - horror vampire films from the 80’s . naturally . like an adult .
master ko ( lam ching ying , stunt master in fist of fury and enter the dragon ) faces the daunting task of re - burying a rich man ' s father - in the hope that the new tomb will bring further prosperity . the frightening twist comes when the corpse comes back to life with a foul and vengeful netherworld gang . desperately trying to right his wrongs , master ko finds himself sinking in deep trouble as apprentices dan ( ricky hui ) turns into a vampire himself and harry ( chin siu ho ) is reduced to a weak soul posseses by a fierce ghost .
lord harry is shown to be completely different from hal , being far more at ease and violent . however , this alternate personality appears to be wiser than hal due to being so detached from humanity , as he was able to see that it was the desire to be human that made someone human while none of the other characters could . when put in a dream world where he was human , hal ' s two persona ' s fuse into one to create a more relaxed , happy and calm hal . this suggests that his split personality developed when he was a vampire when suppressing his hunger , with his human self being a safe blend of his two personalities .
the disciples are here too . yay ! this story is a little weird . it’s about aborted fetuses and reincarnation . you see , if a soul is continuously aborted before it can be born , it turns into an “unholy baby” . they’re evil , that’s all you really need to know about that . an unholy baby has put itself ( ? ) into the womb of kau’s childhood sweet heart , lin to be reborn in all its evilness , and her maid is there to make sure that it happens . lin’s husband has also been bitten by a vampire and kau has to go there to save him . also , kwan - yue ( called birdie in my sub ) , is in love with kau and wants him badly .
afterwards , hal bumps into the hapless human ian crumb , who is on his way home after being told that he must re - apply for his own job . after crumb is knocked to the ground , his anger leads him to confront hal , whose vampiric instincts are roused by the sight of blood trickling from crumb ' s nose . hal flashes his fangs at crumb , who immediately flees in terror . hal runs after him in an effort to explain , only to see crumb being run over by a passing car . hearing the mortally - injured crumb begging him for help , hal feels guilty and gives crumb some of his blood , turning him into a vampire ( he later insists that he did not feed on crumb at any point ) .
in the aftermath back at honolulu heights , hal tell tom and alex that they should not give up on being human , and that to want humanity is to have it . he , however , will not be staying with them . alex holds the door closed as he tries to leave , and it looks as though hal and tom might be readying for another fight , when mr rook arrives . rook explains that his department is covering up the aftermath of the events involving captain hatch . alex and tom leave the room , but hal notices that rook responded to something that alex said , indicating that he could hear her . rook laughs and reveals that he is the devil ' s new host , and attempts to kill the trinity . during the final battle , alex drinks a mixture of tom and hal ' s blood , trapping the devil in rook ' s body . as tom begins to choke and alex starts to discorporeate , hal grabs tom ' s stake and uses it to kill rook . with the devil apparently dead , hal awakens alongside tom and alex , and notices that he is neither his good nor evil self . after looking in a mirror and seeing his reflection for the first time in five centuries , he realises that he is human , as are the other two .
a professor and his two bumbling assistants find the bodies of a man , a woman and a child preserved in a cave . however , the bodies are really vampires and return to life when the prayers pinned to their foreheads are removed whereupon they proceed to cause chaos in the laboratory . the child vampire hops out into the streets . it is found and befriended by two children who take it home and hide it in the closet away from their parents . meanwhile , one of the assistants has been bitten and goes to seek the help of the herbalist lin ching yin . as lin goes to help vanquish the vampires with his remedies , the reporter jen , who desires lins niece , determines to get photos of what is in the laboratory but instead unwittingly releases the vampires .
sticks and ropes saw hal and tom embroiled in the
employee of the month
competition at the hotel , with the manager patsy showing obvious favouritism towards hal . hal is unconcerned with winning the contest , but sees a chance to boost tom ' s self - esteem if he can ensure that the young werewolf wins . however , the manipulations of captain hatch steadily turn the vampire and werewolf against one another , with hal declaring to tom at one point that
however shit at the job i try to be , you somehow manage to be even shitter
. this results in a food - fight between hal and tom in full view of the hotel guests , after which patsy sacks them both . captain hatch later persuades patsy to give them their jobs back , before mind - controlling her into drowning herself .
the last broadcast opens with hal having massacred several humans in a pub , and turned them into new vampires . tom arrives as he is giving them a speech about vampire supremacy , and combat breaks out . tom stakes his way through hal ' s new minions one after the other , and once they are dealt with he confronts hal about his personality switch . hal taunts tom , saying that while his good alter ego did not think that tom was stupid , his current personality believes that tom is nothing but a beast of the field . hal draws a knife and the two of them break into a brutal fight , with both of them demonstrating their superhuman agility and strength . while hal was winning at first , tom eventually gains the upper hand . hal seems unfazed even as tom is preparing to stake him , telling the werewolf :
god , you ' re predictable
. once again , however , alex arrives and intervenes , informing them that captain hatch is the devil , and that he has been manipulating them into fighting one another . hal tells the others that he knows of a ritual which can kill the devil , and the three set off to face him ( though not before hal collects some blood from one of his minions whom tom injured ) .

initially , the first half of the film is predominantly focussed on developing the rivalry between ma and chan’s characters and introducing us to their sidekicks : the lovely rachel lee and the acrobatic chin kar lok . much of this character development is done through some pretty effective comedic set pieces that occasionally had me laughing out loud , which is pretty rare for such unsubtle humour ! at around the halfway mark , the story changes somewhat and sees the arrival of a royal transport carrying a gold coffin , and predictably , its contents escape and much carnage ensues .

i don’t think what i saw was in any of these films , but it is pretty close . no bullet proof vests . but there are hopping vampires stabbing people with their nails . i actually enjoyed the series , so i kept watching . the fighting was always amusing , even when the actual story was less than stellar .
i liked the first film most . not that i did not enjoy the sequels ; i am glad i watched the sequels , but the first is my favourite , followed closely by the last .
the shop keeper tells her nephew ( chau - sang ) that a prostitute from across the street is going to come in to buy makeup , and to be nice . of course , ting - ting , who is the daughter of the wealthy man who has asked master kau for the reburial , comes in , who is definitely not a prostitute , but an actress . hilarity ensures .
, from the start to about 2 : 30 . it’s the dub version , but it has better quality than the others on youtube .
uncle ming is a taoist who claims he can exorcise evil spirits from wealthy people . the start of the film shows him trying to con a family by removing two ghosts , however , these two ghosts are his friends big pao and small pao ( depending on which subs you are watching ) . anyway , these ghosts pretend to be exorcised so uncle ming can get money .
the two ghosts are the only mildly interesting characters in this film , though i did notice that they were cast in blue light so we can see that they are ghosts , but sometimes the blue lighting wasn’t really visible . i wonder if that was intentional or just some mistakes , because sometimes they had normal human colouring . the other characters were not particularly memorable ; i will even go so far as to say that the unibrow lam ching - ying character isn’t really memorable either . the antagonist is an evil taoist lady who they eventually defeat . yay .
the version i found was actually in good quality , unlike the last two . this one is about the four - eyed taoist and his buddhist monk neighbour master yat - yau . most of the hilarity stems from the relationship these two have .
and a fox spirit tries to seduce him . . . . except this is the late 80’s so we get this sexy furry :
anyway , there’s a character who is an obvious homosexual stereotype . i just wonder if we could get away with such a character now ?
he doesn ' t want to suck your err . . . well , he ' d rather just kiss you until he gets to know you better .
master kau is back ! . . . with black hair but whatever yay ?
master kau with black hair . . . it ' s magic don ' t question it .
she goes so far as to tie him to the bed and have man - choi and chau - sang spray her through the window with water to make her clothes cling to her . awkward .
but the more i think about it , i’m certain that it isn’t . there was a boy protecting a girl from getting stabbed , but he had a bullet proof vest and at one point he was on the floor . this is the only time this happens and they are standing up .
there is the undertones of “don’t abort fetuses because this is what happens : you make evil spirits that try to be reborn who we assume will do evilness . ” but you know , whatever . also , there’s a scene early on with a small child peeing on man - choi , and because of the different indecency laws , you see it . might freak people out .
i didn’t have a good - quality version to watch , but there is a beautiful scene with birdie and lin’s sister in the woods . a red - clad procession and a white - clad procession come towards them . it’s too bad i don’t have better quality pictures , but they really are pretty .
overall , i liked the series , but the first and last might be the only ones worth checking out . but if you’re bored they’re all on youtube with varying levels of quality .

rocked : sum 41 in congo is a 2005 film documentary directed by adrian callender describing the experiences of sum 41 joining war child canada in traveling to the democratic republic of the congo ( drc ) .

eric hoskins , president of war child canada at the time , and samantha nutt , executive director of war child canada , accompanied sum 41 to drc in may 2004 and are credited as executive producers .

canadian peacekeeper chuck pelletier helped sum 41 evacuate from drc .

he is the namesake of the band 's october 2004 album , chuck .

drummer steve

jocz had his last appearance with sum 41 in 2013 .
days after touching down in the democratic republic of congo , sum 41 were forced to evacuate the african country when gunfire and explosions outside their hotel jeopardized their safety .
as if their lives weren ' t crazy enough , the band took a trip to the democratic republic of congo , where they filmed a documentary titled rocked : sum 41 in congo . they went during a ceasefire , but found themselves caught in the middle of an unexpected escalation of violence ( which can be seen on the documentary ) .

rocked is an unscripted account of an african country in turmoil as seen through the eyes of rock band , sum 41 . the war in the democratic republic of the congo has been characterized as one of the world ' s worst humanitarian crises and the most deadly war ever documented in africa . the film crew follows the musical group , sum 41 , as they meet congolese children and youth caught in the crossfire , including child soldiers and victims of assault .
for longtime fans of sum 41 , the guys are being given another second chance . in an interview with alternative press magazine , both cone and baksh had revealed their interest in rejoining deryck to bring sum 41 back to life . deryck expressed his determination to start playing shows again .

despite all the hills they ' ve had to climb , sum 41 is ready to bring fans back with songs like
fat lip
as well as create something listeners will hear and think ,
that ' s the sum 41 we all know and love .
jon marshall started off until the band ' s producer and manager , greig nori , advised deryck he had what it took to be vocalist , resulting in marshall ' s end with sum 41 .
prior to the violent outbreak , bukavu had stayed relatively calm for the past year under a united nations peace accord , allowing sum 41 to meet with child soldiers , surviving victims of the conflict , and united nations officials . in a post on the war child web site , drummer steve jocz described the city as beautiful despite the scars of war , and was eager to get on with the rest of the visit ( see
sum 41 touch down in congo , visit ' witches ' and u . n . officials
the band was visiting the war - torn nation to film a documentary , in association with the charity war child canada , on the impact of the congo ' s longstanding civil war that has killed more than 3 . 5 million people since 1998 . in bukavu , near the rwandan border , fighting erupted near sum 41 ' s hotel between government soldiers and troops aligned with a renegade commander , according to a band spokesperson .
popular punk - pop rockers sum 41 take a break from the music to join war child canada in traveling to the democratic republic of congo ( drc ) for an eye - opening look at an african country where the rage of war has held a population in fear since 1998 . after being caught in the middle of a battle between rebel soldiers and government troops , band members deryk , steve , cone , and dave meet with congolese children to whom death has sadly become a way of life .
the irony of the whole story is that we went to the congo to shoot a documentary on the subject of war ,
whibley said .
and in the end we became the subject of war .

however , violence on par with what ' s been happening in the rest of the country has continued since the band evacuated . at least 45 people , including a u . n . peacekeeper , have been killed in and around bukavu in the last week , according to the new york times .
he ended up in the hospital where his health was in critical condition , worrying his bandmates and even scaring himself . after being released from the hospital , deryck headed down the path of getting sober .
they will be making an appearance at this year ' s ap music awards in ohio , the band ' s first live show in two years . the singer also advised he has been working on new material .
has been nothing but a crazy rollercoaster ride ever since the band ' s formation back in the 90 ' s .

between issues at home and feeling as though nothing was heading in the right direction , baksh decided to resign . tom thacker , former member of the band gob , took his place .
they never did . five or six hours later , the peacekeeper called for armored personnel carriers to remove the crowd from the hot zone , and the only way out was back through the hotel lobby and into the street . in four groups of 10 , they set out on the treacherous escape route .
as the old adage goes , things have to get worse before they can get better . deryck himself was faced with physical injuries to his back , a divorce from canadian pop singer avril lavigne , as well as his own near - death experience caused from excessive amounts of drinking . not knowing another way to deal with the difficult goings on in his life , deryck would turn to alcohol .
the fighting began around midnight on may 26 , whibley said , but unlike the sporadic shots they had been warned about , this seemed to persist longer than usual . the band and its crew , including the filmmakers and war child personnel , joined the 40 or so other hotel guests in one room at the back of the hotel . a u . n . peacekeeper staying at the hotel ordered them to lay on the floor until the explosions subsided .

whether it involved the band as a whole or was a personal issue a member himself was handling , the guys are ready to have a fresh start with hopes that their fans will be as committed as they are .
at young ages , the guys were partying all the time , surrounded by a lot of booze and a lot of drugs . they had been exposed to a world they were unfamiliar with , but soon became acquainted with .
through their partying , they made friends with names such as fat mike of nofx and motley crue drummer tommy lee .
although the danger was happening right outside of their hotel , explosives and shootings , none of them got hurt . deryck also ended up having a falling out with greig nori , which eventually led to nori ' s termination .
deryck even told people magazine that he is committed to remaining sober and feels better than he has ever felt .

bullets were coming through windows and everyone was just lying on the ground with their hands on their heads ,
singer deryck whibley said .
one bomb came too close , hit the hotel and the hotel just started shaking . everyone dove and was lying on the ground . thing were falling off the walls , mirrors were breaking . that ' s when we all kind of realized that this was really going bad and we ' re probably not going to make it out .
people were crying and everyone ' s hugging each other , basically saying goodbye .
( cameras were rolling as the band escaped . click here to watch . )
suddenly the tanks showed up and we all ran out ,
whibley said .
it was about 100 feet from the door [ of the hotel ] to the tanks , [ and we had to cross ] the street where all the fighting had been happening , and that ' s when it got really scary . that was the scariest moment for me , running from the door to the tank thinking , ' we ' re going to be fired upon . '
the armored personnel carriers transported the group to the u . n . peacekeeping headquarters on the other side of town . the following day , the bandmembers were taken to the local airport , where they flew out to uganda . on friday , they returned safely to toronto .

we’d love your help . let us know what’s wrong with this preview of seven nights in a rogue ' s bed by anna campbell .
this book gets two and a half stars for a strange plot and a disappointing ending . here’s hoping the next rogue book will be much better .
the rogue’s return is probably one of the more stranger romance novels out there with a plot that has to be the most eyebrow - lifting . although the characters are unique , they are a little unsettling at times .
however , the story and romance was enough for me to overlook these few quibbles .
after enjoying the simple romance of the other countess and the queen ' s lady , i thought the rogue ' s princess would be a worthwhile read . even though it ' s not out in the u . s . yet , i was able to find a decently - priced copy on american soil , so i decided i might as well give it a try . the rogue ' s princess follows the adventures of mercy hart , the daughter of a rich london merchant , and a man who strictly follows the new puritan religion to the letter . with such a strong religious background , it ' s di
it was a good read ! really good romance . first love . . heartache . . 2nd chances .
rogue’s honor is neither a bad book nor a good book – it’s just kind of there . the characters are a little lackluster , and the plot is all over the place . every time it’s in any danger of becoming truly interesting , it invariably takes a different , duller turn .

this is a beautiful and sweet romance story . the main characters are kit and sam . the story involves forgiveness , trust , and love .
i was given this book for a honest review . i love a sweet story . not all romance novels are sweet , it was refreshing to read this book .
rogue ' s son by darcy flynn is a book that will draw you in deeper and deeper as you read until you can ' t put it down . ms . flynn has given us a book that is well - written and packed it with amazing , lovable characters . kit is struggling to keep her family ' s b & b ; solvent . sam has opened a lodge on the neighboring ranch but he needs something from kit to open his resort to capacity . their story is full of drama , humor and sizzle . i enjoyed reading rogue ' s son and look forward to reading more from darcy flynn in the future . rogue ' s son is a complete book , not a cliff - hanger . i voluntarily read a print copy of this book .
i received a copy of this book for an honest review . this is a clean , beautiful , and sweet romance . the book also reflects on forgiveness and not holding grudges . . .
originally posted on breath of life reviews can i just say
wow ?
i loved this book , i mean truly loved it . let me start off by saying that i love a hero that is at a disadvantage , whether it be a personality or physical disadvantage like jonas , i love it . too many times in a romance novel it ' s the female that is at the disadvantage and needs rescuing from the hero . not so in seven nights in a rogue ' s bed , it ' s jonas merrick who needs to be rescued . his emotional damage is severe , and on top of t

eve edwards ' lacey chronicles offer up historical romance for a young adult audience . i enjoyed both the previous two novels in the series , and was eager to break into this one . as with the rest of the series , the rogue ' s princess is a quick , light , romantic read , full to the brim with love , betrayal , drama , and sumptuous clothing . this series is perfect for fans of light historical romance . though this is a series , each novel stands alone well . there is no need to read all of them or to read th
rogue ' s son by darcy flynn . i really liked it but am not sure if i ' m keeping it in my
reread first
pile or not . i enjoyed the storyline and the strong characters .
let ' s just say that i ' ve read a lot more interesting stories than this one .
as with her earlier elizabethan stories ( the last countess and the queen ' s lady ) , eve edwards has kept her story deceptively simple and , at heart , rather predictable . kit and mercy are clearly destined to be together and there are no real surprises in store on that count – however , it is the subtly clever roads that edwards leads her characters down that make her stories so completely readable . while it could be argued that the romance in the rogue ' s princess is rather rushed , it ' s speedy commen

when stephanie laurens wrote devil’s bride , she seemed to take the romance world by storm . lots of people ( including myself ) loved it . others didn’t , but it seemed like almost everyone read it . by now , most people have formed an opinion on the bar cynster series . if you didn’t care for the preceding books , then you probably won’t think much of a rogue’s proposal , because it is very much like them . but that’s good news for laurens fans , who will be glad to see another hero with a demonic nickname , a heroine with spunk to spare , and laurens’ trademark steamy love scenes .
those who have missed regency trads may well embrace julia justiss’s latest novel . while a slight touch more sensual than many trads , its tone and plotting have much in common with some of the regencies i used to adore . in rogue’s lady , justiss tells the sweet tale of a reforming rake and a musician’s daughter , each trying to find their way into respectable society . though both have very different motives for seeking respectability , they find a common interest that soon deepens into something neither counted on finding .
i thoroughly enjoyed reading about kit and sam . their second chance at love has so many roadblocks it seems they ' ll never make it , but this story manages to pull it all together in a believable way . kit ' s single - minded devotion to the land makes her a strong and sometimes hard - headed heroine . sam is simply delicious - chivalrous , helpful , and charming . there ' s even a conniving villainess in the mix ! rogue ' s son is a real treat to read .
this series about the lacey brothers is one of my absolute favourites ! the books may be set in the past but they feature wonderful characters and stories that literally pulse with life . ' the rogue ' s princess ' follows the laceys ' illigitimate half - brother kit turner , a player in the theatre . some what flamboyant and a bit of a loveable rogue with an eye for the ladies , kit becomes a reformed man when he meets the pure and innocent mercy hart , the daughter of a rich cloth merchant . however , kit has
for the most part , this is a cozy romance you can settle into . the world and the characters come alive , though some secondary characters steal the show . an extremely long boat ride helps the romance to come about as jane and simon learn about each other - - sort of , as at this point jancy is still playing jane . as they are on their way back to england , they keep building the romance , and jancy keeps wondering how she is ever going to tell him the truth about who she really is .
ms . flynn has crafted a wonderful romance between kit and sam . kit operates a bed and breakfast but sam refurbishes a lodge nearby that takes her customers away . we are made to feel for kit as she cannot keep operating at a loss . her family and sam ' s family have a history that complicates things due to kit and sam ' s fathers ' choices . it is a story of a woman struggling with material and emotional issues and a man trying to right the wrongs committed in the past . there were times i shed tears and times when i was happy at the events . kit looked into the past at how good things were , this bringing to mind the preious memories of my own . i definitely recommend this novel as a clean and satisfying romance .
he might look like prince charming , but he ' s sure to break your heart .
i have not read the other books in the lacey chronicles and was pleased that each works well as a standalone . the rogue’s princess shares the tale of mercy hart and kit tuner . set in 1586 , this historical romance beautifully captures the tone of the times and the power of young love . while the tale was predictable the characters themselves were delightful . mercy hart is the daughter of a deeply religious and wealthy cloth merchant . she strives to be pure in the eyes of the lord and to subdue her
a lifetime ago , flynn swore an oath to protect a draken princess with his life . now she’s back from the dead—and wanting him to honor his promise…
this ended up being my least favourite of the books in the lacey series . while these books have always been very light , 16th - cent . romcoms , the rogue ' s princess felt insubstantial . i think it was the lack of any compelling stakes . in the other countess , extreme poverty was looming over ellie and in the queen ' s lady , jane ' s in - laws were literally after her blood , so there were some serious matters to balance all the froth . here , the only prominent threat for most of the novel is mercy ' s disapprov
set in elizabethan england , the rogue’s princess continues the lacey chronicles by eve edwards . mercy hart is the sheltered sixteen year old daughter of a pious and wealthy merchant of london . the handsome kit turner is the illegitimate son of the late earl of dorset and a flamboyant actor in the theatre group of london . upon meeting at a dinner party the romantic sparks fly between this unlikely match . innocent and naïve , mercy is torn between obeying her father’s wishes to marry righteous fiel
[ sidonie seems to easily forget the horrible reason she’s there at jonas’s castle and falls for him pretty quickly . as well , there ' s a situation where jonas finds out something that has him turning from sidonie . it seems manufactured and somewhat out of character from the man we saw originally . ( hide spoiler ) ]

review posted at demon lover ' s books & more this is a tortured hero story at its best . he is scarred , both inside and out , and sidonie proves to both of him that he’s not quite the beast he thinks he is . this was a retelling of beauty and the beast , and i found it to be just wonderful . sidonie arrives at castle craven in her sister’s place , to honor a bargain made with a man with no honor . from all her sister has told her , she will be facing the devil himself . from all her sister’s husband has
i often read adult historical romance , but it wasn ' t until i read eve edwards ' the other countess , the first in the lacey chronicles that i really liked ya historical romance . i quickly fell in love with edwards ' writing , which manages to stay surprisingly true to history while adding a contemporary undertone that seems to alleviate the dryness that can easily dissuade readers ( like me ) from picking up historically accurate novels . this particular installment of the lacey chronicles focuses on ki
this review was written for the review diaries : urltoken eve edwards elizabethan romance series – how do i love thee ? let me count the ways . 1 ) the research that has gone into these . so often historical romance these days is riddled with modernisms , that make you feel like you’ve just been catapulted back to the twenty first century at a most unfortunate moment . edwards has done so much research it makes my head spin . not only are the clothes and speech spot on , but
when people tell me they have some ya historical fiction for me , i instantly jump for it every time . sadly , a lot of the ya hisfic romance that i read falls into way too many romantic clichés for me to be happy . this one was no different . the main character of this story is a young girl named mercy hart , who is as innocent as a child when it comes to the ways of romance . her love interest is kit turner , an actor with some roguish ways , who also happens to be the illegitimate son of an earl so he
★★★★☆ ( this is a review of the audiobook . ) you’ve heard the expression , “i could listen to him read the phone book . ” yup ? that’s how i felt about antony ferguson’s narration of this romance book . delicious . he has a dreamy , seductive voice . he does a good job with differentiating the characters , and with the female voices . some people complained about his pausing ; however , i listened at 1 . 5 speed , so i didn’t notice this . did he elevate the story ? hmmm . after i got used to that sexy voice , i wou
historical romances are one of my favorite genres , but i never read ya historical romance all that often . so when i saw the rogue princess , i was super excited to get into it and see if i would enjoy it as much as i enjoy the adult version of the genre . mercy is the sixteen - year - old daughter of a very rich , very religious , cloth merchant . growing up in such a strict household , mercy has led a life of respecting god and making it her mission to adhere to her religious laws . kit , however , is quite
it ' s funny reading this now , because i read other countess and queen ' s lady ages ago , so will , ellie , james and jane are all strangers to me . but now i ' ve read this and queen ' s lady , other countess seems a bit pathetic , which is funny cos when i read that i loved it . i hope she writes one about tobias , cos he ' s my favourite lacey brother . ( blushes ) i never liked kit before reading this but he ' s grown on me , and i don ' t really like will . but james and tobias are cool .
i really loved the first two books , the other countess and the queen’s lady , so i fully expected to feel the same way about the rogue’s princess . and i did ! of all of the lacey brothers we’ve heard from so far , i think that kit may be my favourite . i thought that it would take a lot to knock kind and gorgeous will of the top spot , but kit , with his flowery and poetic way of speaking . i’m a sucker for a silver tongue ! but it was his unwavering dedication to mercy that really got me . even though he
when sidonie forsythe ' s sister , roberta cannot pay the gaming debts owing to jonas merrick , sidonie comes up with a plan . she offers herself in payment . jonas merrick is a bastard , and rich . there is no love lost between him and his cousin william , sidonie ' s brother - in - law . but jonas proposes a new bargain . if sidonie spends another six nights at the castle with him , jonas will write off her sister ' s debts .
defies all logic is exactly the way i ' d describe this book as well ! i could barely finish this annoying romance between two distinctly unlikeable people . sidonie , the heroine who ' s name i had the worst time pronouncing inside my head , was holier than thou at first . but oh how she crumbles completely in the arms of the dastardly hero , jonas merrick , whose scars and tortured past make him hard and cruel . then they have a few blissful days of non stop sex - yet she will not marry him when he asks her ! what a nit ! of course she has this big secret that he will not forgive her for when he finds out about it . then her sister and this murder ! all were beyond me , i was fed up 1 / 2 way through but persevered and finished this romance ! i ' m not sure if i will read more by this author since it ' s my first book by her , but this had all the elements of what i dislike in a romance , i ' m afraid . 2 . 5 / 5
the rogue ' s princess is the latest in eve edward ' s tudor series . each book focuses on a different brother of lacey family , this one in particular focusing on the illegitimate half brother kit turner . i am pleased to say that this instalment is as good as the other two in the series and i already have a new lacey brother to swoon over in kit . he is just as gorgeous as the brothers in the previous two books so be prepared to fall in love all over again . the main storyline follows kit as he tries to
the dialogue sparkles with humor and sexual tension . there is a delightfully funny scene in which felicity tries to get demon to explain exactly why he wants to marry her , and her questions lead her to ask about sexual desire . laurens fans have come to expect hot , detailed love scenes , and a rogue’s proposal doesn’t disappoint in this arena either . laurens handles the sexual tension masterfully , building it to a fever pitch that culminates when felicity and demon finally consummate their relationship .
its a nice cute and people who like clean romance will love it . sam and kit are both likable characters , the plot is nice . darcy flynn did a good job with this one . but her first one keeper of my heart is still my fav : ) i would love to read her again and soon : )
england , 1586 mercy hart , daughter of one of london ' s wealthiest and most devout cloth merchants , is expected to marry her equal in rank and piety . certainly not kit turner , a lowly actor and playboy , who also happens to be the late earl of dorset ' s illegitimate son . but when a chance encounter throws them together , kit instantly falls for the beautiful mercy ' s charms . . . and mercy can ' t deny the passion that kit stirs within her . she seems ready to defy her father ' s wishes - - ready to renounce h
it turns out that the “man” is felicity parteger , the ward of demon’s mentor , a man known as the general . felicity has a good reason for her duplicity ; the general’s son has become involved in a race - fixing scheme . he is in way over his head , and has had to go into hiding because his life is in danger . he has no idea who else is part of the scheme , and felicity has taken the job at demon’s stables in hopes that she may overhear someone trying to bribe a jockey .

pearl learns much about life among the lowly while she’s staying with luke , but she returns home fairly quickly . luke worries about her , so he pops up in another guise , that of lucio di santo , relative of a mysterious italian count . here is where the plot just starts going all over the map . luke’s a thief , then he’s not , then he’s looking for gainful employment , and then boom ! luke finds out about his parents’ identity and is in for a major life change . meanwhile , we have pearl’s stepmother breathing down her neck and forcing her engagement to another man , and a vengeful relative who is out to get luke . there’s more , too ; luke’s valet and sometime partner in crime is helping him out but sought by the authorities , and he gets in trouble . then there are the little misunderstandings between pearl and luke ( does he / she really love me , or is he / she just faking it ? what did he / she mean by that remark ? and so forth ) . after fumbling their way through many of the plot devices in the kitchen sink ( did i mention there’s a duel and a fake ghost ? ) , luke and pearl emerge at the end , victorious , rich , and in love .
around this time last year , a vodka company approached me , asking if i would create a cocktail that would be appropriate to hoist in honor of the wedding of britain ' s prince william and kate middleton .
this is a joint review with my review partner may . may : when mandi told me she heard of a book coming out that just screamed “this is a may kind of book” i was intrigued and picked it up as soon as i could . seven nights in a rogue’s bed plays on the beauty and the beast trope , but is at the same time its own unique and memorable story . merrick wants revenge upon his cousin more than anything else . luckily , revenge is easy for him to find not only by being incredibly wealthy and successful ( while h
this book coasted solidly through b + / b territory most of the way , but a plot twist near the end nearly derailed things for me . this little twist is … how to put this delicately ? … one of the more ridiculous i’ve read in a while . still , even with that unnecessary turn of events , rogue’s lady entertained me more than i expected . for that , i cannot help giving it a recommendation , albeit a qualified one . fans of regency trads or even of the regency time period in general may want to check this one out .
while i won’t give away the secret of luke’s family , i will say that it didn’t really make sense . we are told early on that his mother was forced to do all kinds of demeaning , difficult work for members of the upper classes , hence luke’s resentment of the nobility . but when we find out the true identity of luke’s parents ( and let’s face it , you can pretty much see it coming a mile away ) , it makes no sense that his mother would have been so friendless or at the mercy of an evil userper . where were her relatives in all of this ?
a human trapped in the world of faerie , in possession of magic i could not control , i made a bargain for my life : to let the dangerously sensual fae noble known as rogue sire my firstborn . and one does not break an oath with a fae . but no matter how greatly i desire him , i will not succumb . not until i know what will happen to the child .
the characters have a tepid relationship which blossoms , and some hot romantic scenes feel forced . the characters step out of themselves for odd comments about lightning feelings for each other that seem too out of place , almost ludicrous . you feel a little awkward even reading it at these times , but when it cools down back to the soft romance , it feels like it should .
i recommend that you use a high - proof , juniper - forward , london - dry gin in this one . i ' m thinking beefeater , junipero or tanqueray . you need a gin that ' s very sure of itself .
when sidonie forsythe ' s sister , roberta cannot pay the gaming debts owing to jonas merrick , sidonie comes up with a plan . she offers herself in payment . jonas merrick is a bastard , and rich . there is no love lost between him and his cousin william , sidonie ' s brother - in - law . but jonas proposes a new bargain . if sidonie spends another six nights at the castle with him , jonas will write off her sister ' s debts . the opening scene as the heroine arrives at the forbidding castle craven on the south devo
it started well . it ended well . the middle was shitty historical ( ish ) porn . that ' s about all i have to say .
though it’s fourth in a series , for the most part this book can stand alone . many of the characters from earlier books make an appearance , but they aren’t essential to the plot . there are a lot of them , however , and i’m sure it’s easier to keep them straight if you have met them all before . if you have met them all before , you will undoubtedly enjoy seeing them again . and again and again – there are still two more bar cynster books yet to come . for many of us , that’s good news .

i had thought jonas was going to be a dark , sinister lord - of - the - gothic - manor type . he ' s a bit of a loner in an out - of - the - way mansion . he is reputedly ruthless and has a scarred , unattractive face . but i thought he was a nice guy and not particularly scary or mean . he was sensitive , kind and understanding .
the plot devices are interesting enough , but the reactions at the end lack a certain something special . some awkward moments makes you wish veteran author jo beverley had left it as a simple soft romance given how the characters are portrayed . beverly is a wonderful writer ; her previous books were very much enjoyable but this one comes up lacking . perhaps it is just too unbelievable at times , like she is trying to outdo her previous books by bringing in something outrageous .
one of the things i like about these books is that while each of them largely revolves around the main female character , it ' s the boys who link the stories together . in the previous books , we ' ve seen will , the young earl of dorset fall in love with a girl of no fortune and his brother , james , fall for the lady will was suppose to marry . this time it ' s their half - brother kit ' s turn to fall in love with the ' wrong ' girl . mercy comes from a strictly religious background which she takes to another le
allegra’s only hope arrives in the form of her cousin rob lynton , heir to the title . once the white knight of allegra’s childhood imagination , he soon reclaims that role in her life by rescuing her from his evil stepmother and announcing that his father left her a small dowry . with this modest sum , allegra can be presented in society and hopefully make a good enough marriage to secure her future . though allegra’s parentage may raise some eyebrows , she has a respectable patron and , therefore , still has hope . indeed , allegra herself hopes that while she attends the events of fashionable society , rob lynton himself will take an interest in her .
the writing as you ' d expect from anna campbell is polished and smooth . in the first half the romance was lovely with two likable leads . and the sexy times were steamy and delicious . we meet two more bastards - cam rothermere and richard harmsworth - whom i ' m guessing will be the heroes in following books .
valentine ' s day is just around the corner , and as i was looking over my recipe file a couple of weeks ago , searching for a drink suitable to suggest as a love potion of sorts , i happened upon the royal wedding cocktail . perhaps i ' ll take another look at this drink , i thought .
this third instalment of the lacey family tales follows the story of the lacey boy ' s illegitimate half brother kit who was estranged from the family after their father died and enjoys a life on stage as a player at richard babbage ' s famous company whilst mercy hart is the daughter of a well respected london tradesman who belongs to the puritans . all the unwritten laws of society declare that they cannot be together - is there love strong enough to overcome this and sacrifice part of themselves fo

en uno de los mejores personajes masculinos que he leído en mucho tiempo en romántica histórica . jonas merrick ( incluso me gusta el nombre ) es de esos protagonistas complejos que ocultan más de lo que enseñan y cuya autora sabe ir desnudando , física y emocionalmente , a lo largo de la novela con la velocidad justa - aunque a veces te dan ganas de gritarle que se dé prisa porque necesitas saber más sobre él - . sidonie ,

seven nights in a rogue ' s bed
es original , muy romántica y muy sensual . me ha sorprendido y me ha enamorado , la tensión entre jonas y sidone es . . . he leído la novela en inglés , pero está traducida al español . mi única queja es que el final , aunque precioso , debería de ser más largo ( o a mí me habría gustado que lo fuera ) , es un poco precipitado .
* * * 4 . 5 stars * * * holy shamoly that was hard work . bloody brilliant , but seriously full of feelings that i got to nearly the last page before everything was settled . seven nights in a rogue ' s bed is the story of sidonie and jonas . sidonie is the twenty - four year old virgin spinster sent as sacrifice to pay the debt of her beloved ( bitch ) sister roberta to jonas merrick , bastard by name and bastard by action . i ' m not going to go over the full details of this story , but i will say that everything is n
most of the time , i neither liked nor disliked these characters . i couldn’t get into the story enough to really have an opinion about them . like the book they are neither terrible or spectacular – they are okay . my only real problem with them came at the end , when they treated pearl’s fiancé in a shabby manner . the fiancé wasn’t a bad person , but he was in their way , so both of them treated him horribly . pearl more or less gets engaged to him on a whim , and proceeds to abuse him because he’s not luke .
lady pearl moreston , daughter of a duke , is worried that her step - mother will coerce her into marriage . while pearl has no objection to the married state , she would prefer to wait until her twenty - first birthday has passed so she can inherit one of her father’s small estates . pearl decides to hide for awhile when her father is out of town . she will disguise herself as a maid in another household , thus avoiding her stepmother’s clutches and learning more about life with the lower classes . when her plan goes awry , she is rescued by luke st . clair , the notorious “saint of seven dials . ” he’s a robin hood - like figure who steals baubles from ton households so he can aid the struggling denizens of seven dials .
this book excels on many fronts . stephanie laurens generally has her heroes pursue the heroine relentlessly , and demon is no exception . he realizes that he wants to marry felicity early on , and he never waivers in his devotion . parts of this plot may have a familiar ring , but it’s a ring i like to hear – so much better than a plot brimming with countless misunderstandings .

though unable - or unwilling - to reveal the fate of human - fae offspring himself , rogue accompanies me on my quest for answers . along the way he agrees to teach me to harness my power , in exchange for a single kiss each day and sleeping by my side each night . just as i am about to yield to temptation , i find myself in a deadly game of cat and mouse with an insane goddess . now my search for the truth will lead me to the darkest of all faerie secrets .
hope tarr has changed my views on historical romance . in the past i have often avoided purchase of such books for light reading . often , the plot line involved abusive behavior towards weak , insipid women . this trend really turned me off of that type of reading . however , when hope wrote her novel i was fortunate and privileged enough to have met and befriended her . therefore , of course , i read it as soon as my copy arrived ! once i started i couldn ' t put it down . i was teased by my employees as i finished the novel one night at work . anyone , that has a romantic bone in their body will be captivated by chelsea and anthony ' s story . those who are seeking more substance to the characters will be pleased and surprised by hope ' s creation of two very
real
people . congratulations hope on a wonderful first novel . can ' t wait to read the next one !

it is at one of these gatherings that will first sees allegra , who immediately draws his attention . from their very first introduction , there is a certain chemistry between them . their dialogue is witty , and i enjoyed reading this meeting of minds as well as hearts . will recognizes and is honest about his need to ensnare an heiress with greater funds than allegra can offer . allegra , for her part , enjoys will’s company , but remains ever conscious of her desire to win rob’s affections .
when there are this many plot irons in the fire , some of them are bound to work , and rogue’s honor has some good moments . as the title suggests , luke has to do some thinking about just what honor means . he begins the book with a huge chip on his shoulder , and has no qualms about stealing from the wealthy to help the poor . at first i thought he would spend the whole book thinking “poor equals good and deserving , wealthy equals bad . ” the people he helps in seven dials are all the struggling but worthy penurious type , and he operates on the assumption that all of them have more right to money than the rich do . this can be a difficult position to defend ; maybe the people he is stealing from aren’t perfect , but what right does he have to take their stuff ? surprisingly , luke starts to think about these issues . he even decides to get a real job instead of stealing . unfortunately , before he really has to think too hard , or make any really difficult choices , he gets to inherit a pile of money , and the plot careens off into no man’s land again .
jane otterburn and simon st . bride live in the same world but not in the same class . once they come together , there is a deadly duel simon must face , and he is honor - bound to marry in an unlikely arrangement . but what is really strange is that “jane” isn’t really jane at all . she is really jancy , jane’s illegitimate cousin . now this deception is supposed to be the main plot for this novel . but at story’s end , simon hardly reacts to its revelation . because it is the major plot point throughout the book , shouldn’t there be a little bit more to it ?
the opening scene as the heroine arrives at the forbidding castle craven on the south devon coast is fantastic , evocative . after that wonderful , initial scene the gothic atmosphere loses some of its momentum , swallowed up in the romance and love scenes for the longest time . however , it was the second half of the book that the story really came alive for me and i enjoyed immensely . there was way more happening with the focus no longer on just jonas and sidonie .
this book is the third in the lacey chronicles by eve edwards . it follows along after the other countess and the queen’s lady , this time focusing on the illegitimate son of the late earl of dorset ( the first two followed his sons will and james ) . the book starts off with an earthquake which causes mercy to believe it is her fault because she wasn’t really listening to her father’s prayers . it seems silly , but she is ten at the time and is from a god - fearing family . i am not too fond of books that
tough and driven , kit kendall replaced frills and dresses with no - nonsense haircuts and wranglers years ago . as owner of sage brush , the once - thriving west texas bed and breakfast ranch , she now struggles daily to keep her business afloat . since mccabe lodge reopened next door as a multi - million - dollar resort , her financial difficulties compound , as she suffers one cancellation after another . just when she thought things couldn’t get any worse , kit’s former neighbor and childhood nemesis returns as the new owner of the resort that’s now putting her out of business . sam dawson , cowboy turned entrepreneur , has returned to sugar creek after six years of exile with a secret that could destroy kit’s happiness . he left town because of it and for the past two years has secretly tried to make it right . having failed , he now returns to make one last attempt to undo the tangled web created by his father . set in motion by his father’s will and with the clock ticking , sam has only weeks to convince kit to sell him her ranch or reveal the truth that will break her heart .

when i saw that anna campbell had a new historical romance out i absolutely knew i had to request it . i was not wrong , not in the least . the book is written very much in the tradition of claiming the courtesan and untouched . in fact , as soon as i figured that out , i could pretty much tell where the story was going and just about how it was going to unfold . i was also right about all that . even so , what kept me tethered to the story were the same things that kept me very invested in those two oth
