Heaven help us, the first book from Dellarte Press (AKA Harlequin Horizons, AKA Harlequin's vanity press) is up on Amazon.

Wren is marrying the man of her dreams just as soon as she returns from her trip to the Carolinas-on the first night there, all is changed in an instant. Why? Because the hero of my recently completed novel, Dargan's Desire, has mistakenly taken her virginity. Set in South Carolina in 1826 this fun and sensual, the book is woven with love and deceit. Teaching two people the ultimate meaning of honesty, passion, and devotion.
Charming, spirited, full of excitement and exquisitely beautiful, Wren is forced into a loveless marriage when a beast of a man who takes her innocence. Worldly and influential, Dargan Knight, feels as if he has been trapped by this sprite of a girl into a loveless marriage he will never be able to get out of. Then fate steps in to shake up both their lives when Wren realizes she is with child.
I guess the "author" didn't pay for the extra editing package. Or maybe she did. ::shudder::
Now hold on. First of all, Dargan Knight is a great name. Second of all, you have to like that Wren takes her own virginity my mistake, right? I know I'm intrigued to find out, well okay, I'm completely uninterested, but it's still funny.

Wow. And that's just the blurb - I shudder to think about the poor mangled grammar in the book itself.
The grammar and lack of talent there sound like every book I've ever copyedited for iUniverse.
The "reviews" killed me. All five-star, all mentioning how well the writer captured the essence of the South Carolina river setting. Family, friends, or local writers' group? Hmm...
How does one mistakenly take someone else's virginity? Was he trying to put it in her purse?

You need to reread, she took her own virginity by mistake.
Clearly, it was a dark room and he thought she was some cheap trollop with whom he could enjoy a casual romp and it wasn't until the glitteriness of her hoo-haw was revealed, that he realized he'd just breached the ultimate fortress o'lurrrrrrve.
Or something like that.

Only if Wren is the hero. Maybe the MAN is the hero! It's a misdirect!
