Narration As Books Ruby (Landry #1)

In the heart of the bayou, Ruby Landry lives a simple, happy life. But innocence can't last forever...

The only family Ruby Landry has ever known are her loving guardian, Grandmère Catherine, a Cajun spiritual healer, and her drunken, outcast Grandpère Jack. Although thinking about her dead mother and mysterious father sometimes makes her feel as mournful as the wind sighing through the Spanish moss, Ruby is grateful for all she has. Her life is filled with hope and promise...especially when her attraction for handsome Paul Tate blossoms into a mysterious, wonderful love. But Paul's wealthy parents forbid him to associate with a poor Landry, and Grandmère urges her to follow her dream of becoming a great painter, foreseeing a time when Ruby will be surrounded with riches in the dazzling city of New Orleans! Yet she cannot know how close that uncertain future looms....

In a faded photograph, Ruby glimpses for the first time the image of her father -- and learns of a shameful deception and a shocking scheme of blackmail that now must come to light. Stunned by these revelations, she is devastated when Grandmère dies, leaving her to seek out her father in his vast New Orleans mansion. There, in a house of lies, madness, and cruel torment, Ruby clings to her memories of Paul to keep her heart alive. For only their love can save her now....

Weigh Up Appertaining To Books Ruby (Landry #1)

The books by this author are like reading a soap opera - totally addicting and a guilty pleasure.

This was the beginning of my slow wall slide for VC Andrews books. I ultimately stopped with the third book in this series, once I realized I had read this before. . . These are not classic literature by any stretch of the imagination, so, I am not going to waste anyone's time with characterization or anything like that. These are trashy books, and were meant to be taken as such. They do come up with some magnificent names (Gisselle Dumas is a pretty badass name), but, that's about it.The first

Rubie's story and the Landry series is my all-time second favorite series behind the Dollanganger series. I love everything about Ruby. This series has so many twists and turns it made my head spin. The twin aspect made Ruby's story stand out from all others in my opinion. I adored Giselle. I know she was a b with an itch, but still she always kept things interesting. Beau was another reason I really enjoyed the Ruby series so much. He was an awesome love interest.

Last year I vowed to reread my old V.C. Andrews books unread since my long ago teen years. Unfortunately after the second Casteel book it went downhill from there and I stopped. I had several free audio book credits so decided to take another chance on Ruby. I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it, enough to want to read the series and maybe given the Cutler series a try again. Though a bit melodramatic at times, most of the time, it was a decent story. Of course this was the ghostwriter

In the summer between seventh and eighth grade, I read every V.C. Andrews novel that I could get my hands on. Ruby is the one I remember the most, so I decided to look it up.It's pretty steamy...at least from my recollection as a middle school innocent.There are all the classic Andrews plot points: Incest, dark family secrets, young hot damsel as protagonist, a rich man whom she loves, and a poor one who loves her (secret brother? anyone care to refresh my memory?)

It's been so long since I read this series that I have trouble remembering what happened in which book, but I do remember that the Ruby series was the first VC Andrews series I read...and it was my favorite. I think what I liked best about it was that it was kind of like watching a soap opera. Lots of dark secrets, twists and turns, drama, even twin sisters! Even though this is book 1 in the series, I suggest reading the prequel first, Tarnished Gold, which is what I did (though not

This was a fun bit of trash. Our heroine, Ruby, is living a happy life in the bayou with her traiteur grandmere. She believes her father was a passing stranger who knocked up her mama & never knew of her existence...but she finds out the truth when Grandmere passes away from an untreated heart condition. Obeying a deathbed request, Ruby slips away from her drunken grandfather & runs off to New Orleans, eventually ending up on her father's doorstep. Pierre is rich as sin & living the
