Ross Poldark (Poldark, #1)

Some of my friends in two different groups I'm in started reading this series so I thought, let me watch a little bit of the show on Amazon Prime. Um, yeah, then I decided I needed all of the books even though there is something going to happen that I didn't like but let the pictures do the talking =)
*******LET ME JUST SAY THERE WILL BE SPOILERS*******
Okay, so we have the beautiful Ross Poldark going off off to war thinking he would be coming home to his wonderful Elizabeth that he had fell in love with.....
Uh, no. Ross comes back 2 years later to his cousin, Francis, marrying his wonderful Elizabeth. Happy day to you dear, Ross. All is fair in love and war, right? < --- I can't believe I just said that!
Moving on. So Ross then has to work himself to the bone to get Nampara back to rights. His father died not long ago and the keepers, Jud and Prudie, let it go to hell in a handbasket!
I loved these two though, they are so freaking funny!
And then Ross happens to be in town one day with Jud buying some livestock for the home when he spies some street urchin fighting with some boys over a dog. They were going to do bad things. The only thing I don't like about these books is a few bad things they do to animals. They can kiss my arse! And Demelza feels the same, so there.
And we have the beautiful, Demelza, playing a boy but is really a beautiful warm soul underneath. Her and her dog Garrick. Okay, so she can hold her own in a brawl as best she can and says whatever she feels but that's the way it should be!
Ross is starting to looking into going into partnership in a mine. He doesn't really want to bother with his own for reasons. But, we get the beginning of what could be something started with the Wheel Leisure mine.
There are a lot of different things going on in the book but I believe I have rambled forever and a day!
Let me just add that some things turn around for Ross and Demelza. He starts to notice her among other things.
And then they get married, yes married. And I love Ross cousin, Verity. She is so sweet and she tries to help tame Demelza and becomes a most cherished of friends.
I love this book, I love the tv show and I do believe I will love the rest with the exception of one thing I know that's going to happen and will make me want to beat the living you know what out of Ross. That's all I'm saying.
Team Demelza all the way! ♥

I have all of the books now =D Well, some are still on the way and I have the first two seasons of the show. I couldn't help myself. I haven't watched all of the first season yet or started the second. I'm going to have to make sure they work so I will probably start them tomorrow if I'm feeling okay. That is so cool you have the first 3 books! Yay =D
Love this series, Melissa. I'm on the third book. Started with the PBS series which should return for next season in Jan 2018. Have mercy! Can't take my eyes off him. Haha! :D
I'm so glad you love it! I hope to enjoy the books and Lord have mercy on the show =) ♥
I look forward to your review. I have started this book twice but can't seem to get into it.
