Please do not buy this book -- it blatantly plagiarizes "Uncle Charles' Girls" by Anne Randolph. I read the sample and was shocked by the numerous rip-offs that come directly from the opening birching scene in Ms. Randolph's book, from the main character "not knowing that girls were ever birched," to having the boys watch from the "gallery" in the father's study, to the thoughts and reactions of main character, including hurrying off afterwards to find a "willing female," as well as plagiarized descriptions. Whole phrases are lifted directly from Ms. Randolph's book. I am going to report this to Ms. Randolph and Amazon, but wanted to warn other readers and ask you NOT to buy this book pending an investigation. If you've bought a copy in the last two weeks, please ask for a refund. You can do so by going into your account, finding "electronic orders," going to this product and then clicking the tab on "actions" where you'll find a "return for a refund" option. This is the fastest and most effective way to keep your money from going into a thief's pockets. If it's been more than two weeks since you purchased, please contact Amazon customer service in the US and Canada: (800) 201-7575, explain the problem and ask for a refund. Real authors work very hard to write original material for us; we should not support thieves who try to pass off other people's work as their own for their own profit. We should not give them our money or support. Also, check out this story on NPR about how thieves get away with plagiarism easily in Amazon's erotica because buyers are less likely to report it and Amazon won't police.[...]. As for you, Golden Angel, shame on you. I urge you to un-publish this product immediately, return your ill-gotten gains to Amazon so they can give refunds to customers, and publicly apologize to Ms. Randolph. I wonder if all your products steal from other authors.
