(More customer reviews)Ms Kelley has the tools to become a great writer. While I was impressed with her story lines, I was not impressed with the idea that physical abuse is demonstrative of love. To be frank, I thought she had lost her mind. I read each story not because I actually enjoyed them but because I kept hoping the ladies would stand up and say, "no more". The idea that a woman could write stories like these with strong, courageous, women meekly accepting their abuse is to me totally unthinkable. The ladies, the hellions, were fiesty but with very little real courage. The idea that women, who seem as capable and as outrageous as the Hellions were, would allow men to abuse them is just not right. In fact it is incomprehensible to me. Love does not hurt, to think otherwise is just perverse.

In Regency England, the lives of young ladies of quality followed very predictable paths--from the schoolroom to the ballrooms of the town to the bedroom of a titled gentleman. A proper education included all the things a lady would need to know to run her husband`s household. At Miss Markham`s School of Decorum and Deportment, however, we meet six girls who refuse to meekly follow thier proscribed paths.They form a club, christen themselves "The Hellions" and vow to determine their own fates. While at school, they secretly explore forbidden worlds and learn things most ladies have never heard of, let alone tried. The fun story really begins after school is finished.As each young lady continues her adventures, she meets a man determined to thwart her. Sparks fly, tempers are frayed lost, retribution swiftly delivered and ultimately hearts are lost. But isn`t love the greatest adventure of all?
