Sweetbrier Academy is more than just a school. The young ladies lucky enough to be accepted are educated in the social graces that only the wealthiest debutantes of 1870 would have learned. They can play the spinet, embroider, discuss politics, and issues of importance like any lady, but when the lights go down, the debutantes of Sweetbrier know how to make use of their God given talents and bring pleasure to their suitors.
When Miss Opal Benedict, Madame of the Academy, is called out of town, Hope finds Panther's Landing's doctor, the dashing Jonathan Norris paying court. When his attentions become obvious, they find themselves caught in a storm of their own creation. Their lust for one another becomes the object of unwanted attention in a most unflattering way.
When influenza strikes, Dr. Jonathan Norris must choose between his career or the woman who has captured his soul.

Read an excerpt here:


“Come to me,” she repeated. “I want to love you. I need to be loved by you. I need to spend forever in your arms and if that can’t be, then let me spend tonight and be satisfied, even if just for a little while.”
He couldn’t deny her request. He wanted her for the same reasons. Lowering his body to the bed, his lips brushed hers. He felt her hands move from his waist to shoulders. Hope’s fingers widened and splayed across his chest to toy with the hairs. He kissed her forehead.
“You could have any girl in town. Why me? Why am I so lucky?” she questioned, lifting her body upwards she brushed her lips across his jaw and down his neck. He fell back, melting to the mattress.
“Hope,” he murmured, his left hand moving with her as she rose to her knees and hovered over him. “There is no woman in town I want.”
“Do you want me?” she gave a coy smile and dipped her head to kiss the tiny scar over his right chest.
“You know I want you,” he groaned, as her tongue traced the distance left and traced the circle of his nipple. “You complete me.”
“Hum,” she acknowledged his comment and let her fingers drift down below his waist to the curls just above the prize that lay beneath. Her fingers ran along the velveteen muscles of his erection and felt him tighten. His hand tipped her chin up and he claimed her lips. Wrapping her fingers around his erection, she began to stroke until she felt the pearl bead slid from his tip.
She felt his tongue tease the edge of her lips. She answered by opening her mouth. He needed no other invitation and plunged in stroking her cheeks making her tongue dance to his tune. When she could feel his hips move with her hand, she stopped.

New review for Sweetbrier

Long and Short Reviews known as LASR had given a review for Sweetbrier Academy.

http://longandshortreviews.blogspot.com/search/label/Red%20Rose%20Publishing

Here are some of the wonderful things that the reviewer had to say.

"Having Faith, the first book in a series that provides a fascinating look at Sweetbriar Academy, a house of elegant and well-educated courtesans, is a touching story full of heart and passion."

"Despite her profession there is an innocence about Faith that I found quite refreshing and fascinating. She comes across as very sweet and soft-hearted and I enjoyed her interactions with the other characters of the story. I longed to know more about this intriguing character and couldn’t wait to see how the story would go as Faith finds herself caught in the middle of a battle between two determined men."

"With this book, Ms. O’Berry manages to give her courtesans and paramours heart, elegance, and class as they take pride in their occupation as they seek to improve their lives and take control of their own destiny. "

"I do wish we could have learned a bit more about the pasts of Faith and Opal, the proprietress of the Academy, and what led them to choose the life they lead. I would also like to know what becomes of Faith and Opal and hope that is answered in future books."

"If Having Faith is what one can expect with Ms. O’Berry’s Sweetbriar Academy series, it should definitely be an entertaining series of reads."

Sounds like a call for more in the series to me! Gonna be a very busy year!

Whoo hooo..

Early morning sun rise

What is it about daylight savings time that makes sleep so elusive?

I find myself waking now at 5:50 am no matter the time I lay my head upon the pillow. I must have reached that magical age, just before seniality when my cells are dying at such an unusual rate my body can't cope. So now, I stay awake just to make sure all my work is done before God calls cause we know...

Women are the ones that get up two to three times a night to check on children, make sure the doors are locked, and the pets inside. So if God comes, we're not in the bed. So who does God take? Why of course your husband. He's still in the bed sleeping away. Not even the dropping of the Atomic Bomb could shake the snoring. He's there. So he gets "the call".

And you wondered why men die young?

One review in for Sweetbrier...

Being a paramour at Sweetbrier Academy has its advantages. Faith is educated in politics, language and of course, love. When three men play a high-stakes card game to win a night in her arms, she can't help but want only one man to win. Thaddeus Oakley. He may not be the richest man at the table, but he certainly was the most attractive. But after one night in his arms, can she walk away? Or will Thaddeus change her life forever?

The slow sweet southern arousal of the Sweetbrier Academy ladies will capture you with this first book, and have you coming back for more. Ms. O'Berry weaved a wonderful twist in the worlds oldest profession.. Faith and Thaddeus are perfect for each other and look past the worlds critical eyes to make love work.
