My Troyboy is a Twat – Ruth Roth Series Book 3
#1 Amazon Best Seller.

Hilarious and heartbreaking! 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.
Another fantastic book by Paula Houseman. Once again, Ms. Houseman incorporates her unusual mix of everyday life, in-depth psychology, and fascinating mythology, with laugh-out-loud humour. I loved the combination of hilarity and heartache; Ms. Houseman does it well. And the ending? Oh boy, I need to read book four immediately. Let’s hope the wait isn’t too long.
There is so much I love and admire about Ruth Roth, which again comes out in this book – her observational humour, strong family bonds, strength of character, her ability to survive the craziness around her, and even her potty mouth! I love the style of writing; the witty often caustic humour, and its authenticity. Another resounding hit from Ms Houseman! I want to give this entire series 6 stars!
Those who have read Paula 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.
Once again, Paula Houseman has blended real life family issues with her brand of slapstick comedy that makes each of her stories so unique. She brings on the snark and the sass full force with no holds barred. Houseman is unstoppable and each new installment to the Ruth Roth series just keeps getting better and better. You will fall in love with her fictional family and wish you could insert yourself into their crazy lives. Ruth, Ralph and their extended friends and family have truly captured my heart and I just can’t wait to see what kind of trouble they will land themselves into next.
When will I learn! Poured myself a drink and started reading, bad mistake my kindle was yet again covered in liquid 🙂 Ms Houseman once again returns with her cast of unforgettable characters and has introduced more crazy neighbors, hilariously funny. This is an absolutely brilliant series, I can’t wait for the next installment.

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.
