My Troyboy is a Twat

Love, romance, marriage, and a dark little secret. Shh … Small things let loose can grow out of hand.

Ruth Roth’s new husband can’t keep it in. If only he had all those years ago, things might be different now.

His big mouth sends every family member into hell. Except for Ruth’s late mother. She blows in from there. Seems the woman just won’t die. Or let up. Faaaark!

As if Mama’s earbashing isn’t enough, everyone else needs a scapegoat. Ruth is it. Somehow, this mess is her fault.

With everything falling apart, she feels overwhelmed. Until a hunky celebrity pants man—who clearly wants to get into hers—befriends her and makes her feel all warm and fuzzy. At the same time, an educated silicone seductress has designs on hubby.

Temptation abounds. But it’s overshadowed when a startling discovery throws Ruth and her man into uncharted waters, and life comes crashing down.

Ruth has survived plenty with the help of her friends. And as a writer, her wry wit, dirty muse, and a bent for ancient mythology have sustained her. This, though, might be her undoing.

Here's what readers are saying: 

'Paula Houseman has another hit on her hands! She will have you snorting out loud, laughing uncontrollably with her sassy, snarky sense of humor. Houseman has developed a captivating group of characters and intertwined them so very delicately. Her down to earth writing, sense of humor and ability to plot twist makes her unique.'

'I highly recommend this book series if you need a laugh! I lost count of the number of times I received odd looks when I’d burst out laughing! Ms. Houseman is a talented and enthusiastic wordsmith!'

'Those who have read Houseman’s first two Ruth Roth books will not be disappointed with "My Troyboy is a Twat". We all have a bit of Ruth in us – and Houseman has us laughing, crying, thinking, and smiling while we root for Ruth as she rallies, then self-doubts, and tries to come to terms with the possibility that her mother is having the last laugh: happily ever after is a crock.'

'Ruth Roth is back with a roller-coaster ride of a story about the dysfunctional family you wished you belonged to ... Ruth is one of the most engaging characters to appear in fiction - she's a mixture of Bernadette from "Where'd You Go, Bernadette" and the ever-resourceful Stephanie Plum. She pulls no punches as she examines her marriage, her friends, her family - and herself.  Hilarious and heartbreaking - treat yourself to irresistible fast-paced fun!'
