I was a bit dismayed at first too when I heard she was moving to contemporaries - but relieved that she was also still going to write historicals. But once I read Sugar Daddy, I felt bad that I'd been somewhat ambivalent. It was a wonderful book and the next one was even better!! It taught me a lesson I tell you :)<br /><br />CJ: It was very good and I liked it a lot!! The next one - meh - but the one after that I'm looking forward to.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-72116606357616349322009-04-16T21:02:00.000-04:002009-04-16T21:02:00.000-04:00OMG, that Blaze sounds amazing.OMG, that Blaze sounds amazing.Carolyn Cranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195853833116263029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-46952038670184424002009-04-14T20:59:00.000-04:002009-04-14T20:59:00.000-04:00I've never read a Lisa Kleypas contemporary.

I thought I read somewhere that was the case. I hope that sometime we also get Joe's story - as well as Carrington.<BR/><BR/>Caro: Tara was a very confusing character wasn't she? I could never be quite sure whether I liked her or not. I felt sorry for her - no question about it, but I also felt she was a very selfish, self-absorbed person and I'm not sure she could ever overcome those character deficiencies.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-21210525329607051772009-04-12T23:07:00.000-04:002009-04-12T23:07:00.000-04:00Thanks Kristie!

Really enjoyed your review.<BR/><BR/>Caro, Lisa was at Romance Novel TV and Eloisa's bulletin board and said she is working on a new series called Friday Harbour about guys and boats, no further details. I think Joe and Carrington are on the back burner...but who knows! He could show up in Friday Harbour series. Which are some islands off Washington State coast.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-31458866632580422112009-04-12T17:26:00.000-04:002009-04-12T17:26:00.000-04:00Loved STS.

Soemtimes I wanted to give her a swift kick; at other times, she was verging on sympathetic. <BR/>Kristie, do you know if Kleypas is planning to write Joe's book?Caronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-11973869625799207452009-04-12T10:15:00.000-04:002009-04-12T10:15:00.000-04:00Wendy: *humongus gulp* I'm guessing I know which b...Wendy: *humongus gulp* I'm guessing I know which book your talking about - and now I've my fingers crossed it lives up to expectations for you.<BR/>As for OAG - I'm not enjoying it quite as much as OAO - but it is nice to get Ellie's story. <BR/><BR/>Orannia: I did it a bit different because there are so many reviews for this one on blogs and review sites now that I would only be rehashing probably what most others say.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-33421286689310073362009-04-12T00:58:00.000-04:002009-04-12T00:58:00.000-04:00Thank you for the review of STS/ I like the way yo...Thank you for the review of STS/ I like the way you did it...and I'm looking forward to reading it :)<BR/><BR/>I hope your Easter weekend is going well!oranniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007355589161084262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-34894146349755961662009-04-11T23:40:00.000-04:002009-04-11T23:40:00.000-04:00Since I know how much you love TT, I had a feeling...Since I know how much you love TT, I had a feeling you'd really like the Blaze. I liked it, didn't love it - and yeah, I really wanted another 20 pages or so. You'll have to let me know how Ellie's story turns out for you. I don't have it in the TBR, but I can be swayed.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and guess what book I just started reading *sing song voice*?
