Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The Unmentionables is a collection of short stories told by Victorian undergarments, from the under appreciated pair of drawers belonging to a countess, to the corset owned by a young miss, to a pair of enthusiastic stockings, and finally to a maid's shift.

About the Author

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Karen Ranney was first published in 1995. Since then, she's gone on to write dozens of historical romances, most of them set in Scotland.

Her books have been described as evocative, intensely romantic stories featuring characters who leap off the page.

As an Air Force brat, Karen lived all over the world, numbering among her early adventures having her first date in Paris and traveling the entire route of the Orient Express. She wanted to be an archeologist, a Foreign Service Officer, or a violinist. Instead, she became a decorated Navy Wave, a journalist, and the somewhat bemused mother of two sons. She's also moderated a daily radio program, been a motivational speaker, and admits to having had more than six careers, among them Purchasing Director, Help Desk Analyst, Marketing Director, and a Human Resources Manager.

However, it is her love of books and a fascination with writing that have remained constant throughout her life. Writing allows her to live vicariously, travel to other centuries and answer that one eternal question - What if?

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended! You won't look at undergarments the same again!, January 8, 2012
This review is from: The Unmentionables (Kindle Edition)
I discovered Karen Ranney's writing when I read A Dance In The Dark. It was different from anything I'd ever read with most of the tale centering on the interaction between just the 2 main characters... but I thoroughly enjoyed that book... and I sometimes still think of it.

The Unmentionables is another book which I would place in that highest caliber of books. It, again, is highly unusual... I've never read a book in which the main characters are various underwear garments... but Ms. Ranney has flawlessly and imaginatively developed the characters of the garments in such a unique way that I cannot describe it but only encourage others to read of them.

I can honestly state that I'll never look at underwear garments the same way after reading this book! Thank you, Karen, for enriching our lives with your vivid imagination!

4.0 out of 5 stars An Undergarment Tell All!, October 30, 2011
This review is from: The Unmentionables (Kindle Edition)
I must admit I have never read stories written from an undergarment's perspective before, but I found each story to be interesting and fun and a couple were laugh out loud funny! Ms. Ranney's creative mind continues to amaze and I look forward to her next writing adventure.
