"A Map or Chart of the Road of Love and Harbour of Marriage". Published 12th May 1794 by Laurie & Whittle, 53 Fleet Street, London. Engraved and hand-coloured Georgian fantasy matrimony marriage map, containing Directions for Sailing into Felicity Harbour.

"Directions for Sailing into Felicity Harbour. Fair Virture must your Pilot be; Your Compass, Prudence, Peace your Sea; Your Anchor, Hope your Stoage Love; (To your True Course still constant prove) Your Ballast, Sense, and Reason pure, Must ever be your Cynosure."

"A MAP or CHART of the ROAD of LOVE, and HARBOUR of MARRIAGE. Laid down from the latest and best Authorites & regulated by my own Observations; The whole adjusted to the Latitude 51°30 N by T.P. Hydrographer; to his Majesty Hymen, and Prince Cupid. NB The Long. is recon'd from ye Meridian of Teens."

"From the Sea of common Life, we enter the Road of Love thro Blindman's Straits, between two noted Capes or Headlands, steering first for Money, Lust, and sometimes Virtue, but many Vessels endeavouring to make the latter are lost in the Whirlpool of Beauty; from this Road are many Outlets, yet some Mariners neither steer through these, nor continue their Voyage but come to their Moorings at Fastasleep Creek. Those who proceed reach Cape Ceremony, pass in the Harbour of Marriage through Fruition Straits, and touch at Cape Ecstasy; care must be taken to keep still to the Starboard, lest we run upon sunken rocks which lye about Cape Repentance; a good Pilot will also keep clear of the Rocks of Jealousy & Cuckoldom Bay and at least get into that of Content; some have past pleasant Straits and arrived safe at Felicity Harbour; a Monsoon constantly blows from Fruition Straits quite up the Road, which renders a Passage back impracticable; a Tornado also arises sooner or later in these Parts and drives all Shipping tho moor'd at Content & even Felicity itself, thro the Gulf of Death, the only Outlet, terminating in the Lake of Rest."

Matrimonial maps are spoof maps first known from 18th century England, and became common in 19th century Europe. They depicted states of emotion and stages in relations as mock locations and geographical features in amusing maps, sometimes as detailed as genuine. This map published in London by Laurie & Whittle represents one of the earlier examples, engraved and hand-coloured, and complete with elaborate detail and witty rhymed advise for travellers.

Laurie & Whittle was a British publisher of maps, atlases and prints, founded by Robert Laurie and James Whittle.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.

delightful read
Format: Kindle
What a delightful read. The characters are awesome, the plot was so good, I loved it. I was intrigued and it kept me wanting more. Told in multiple pov, the book sucks you in and doesn’t let go. I cannot wait to read the next book.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger
