RT Rating

This story is a mix of longing, lust and love that draws the reader into a star-crossed relationship. The pace is fast, the characters are complex and the love scenes are hot. Although the protagonists come from different backgrounds, their mutual desire for more in life leads them along bumpy paths and makes them oddly vulnerable. Mynx’s story thrills and entertains.

Bootleg runner Silvio Garelli looks for shelter at a carnival while hiding from the cops. Before he can ask for help in transporting his product, he comes across hooch dancer Buttercup. Although it is love at first sight for him, it’s the 1930s and it’s forbidden for him to love a black woman. Years later, after busting out of jail for a crime he didn’t commit, Silvio wants to find Buttercup and have revenge on the people that kept them apart. But will he still want her after all Buttercup’s secrets are revealed? (THEDIVASPEN.COM, dl $3.99)

While not a fan of historical

While not a fan of historical fiction, I am definitely a fan of Sienna Mynx, and that is what led me to "Buttercup". The story of burlesque carnival dancer Buttercup, and bad boy Silvio, is a heart wrenching one, that will stay with you long after the story is over.
Filled with characters that are flawed yet fascinating, and descriptions that allow you to literally see the story take place, you simply cannot be disappointed with this story. If you love romance you will identify with the attraction between Buttercup and Silvio. If you like drama you will enjoy reading how circumstance and hatred tried to keep them apart. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a well written and entertaining, yet romantic story.

Unexpected treat!

I'm not usually excited about reading stories set in period this book is written; however, I must say, Sienna Mynx manages to draw you in with great characters, vivid descriptions and great storytelling. Just goes to show, when you're reading a great story with strong and compelling characters, the rest just adds flavor. At least that what's the author manages to do throughout. Fastpaced, exciting and leaves you wanting more. Can't get to much better than that..except..it is! Cause the sex and chemistry between Silvio and Buttercup is hot and off the charts!
