I don't know why, but that works for me with a hero. <BR/><BR/>But it was a touchingly sweet romance too, wasn't it? I loved how Niall worked through her issues and how Vic was such a guy about having his feelings hurt. <BR/><BR/>Great, great read!Katihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178354927628992485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-62281316755115112502009-01-07T21:15:00.000-05:002009-01-07T21:15:00.000-05:00This sounds so intriguing.

I'll be looking forward to your thoughts on it.<BR/><BR/>Seneca: I'm still a real rookie when it comes to this kind of genre. And it's only been in the past couple of years that I've really come out of the closet so to speak about my reading tastes. And I really have come a remarkably long way considering how long I've been reading romance. I usually carry two books in purse - one that is 'work' safe and one that is good to read if I get stuck alone in an elevator *g*.<BR/>Beth: Thank you so much for stopping by. I might have taken it with me to work except I was just starting that scene. Many of the people I work with are older and some of them a bit on the fuddy duddy side - nice but a bit stiff lipped if you know what I mean. There's one in particular - the stuffiest of the lot - though she is nice and all - who asks the most to see what I'm reading. If she had noticed my eyes bugging out, when I kept reading that scene - not to mention the squirming I probably would have done, she probably would have wanted to read what I was reading. And that might have given her heart palpations or something :-) I do love the cover though. Plus it's a trade size and it might have got squished in my purse - and squished or crinkled books are just not the thing for this book owner. But believe you me, I was barely in the door when I got home, before I was perched on my chair reading!!<BR/><BR/>Lea: It gets a thumbs up from me so I hope you enjoy it too :)<BR/><BR/>Cindy: I was laughing when I wrote it - though I'm not sure whether it was what I was writing or what I was drinking that make me so jocular :)<BR/><BR/>Katie: *laughing* I didn't fan myself, but I sure was warm - even though I keep the heat in the house at 17 degrees Celsius (or 62 degree Farenheit)<BR/><BR/>Amy: It's worth that extra trip - and I'll be curious to see what you think of it to!!<BR/><BR/>Bridget: Any book that can make me - a seasoned woman somewhat over 45, 46, 47 etc., blush, is indeed hot (and, um, I'm not really that seasoned -if you know what I mean)<BR/><BR/>Barbara: Thanks - and dang but those wish lists can get long can't they???<BR/><BR/>Stacy: I'm glad you liked it and reviewed it!! It opened my eyes - almost bugged open (hah hah hah) I did like those little bits of rebellion she showed - like when she refused to talk to him on the phone - but it would have been interesting to see her turn the table in the bedroom. I figured that dom/sub books will never be for me with that one though.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-84282227570359070562009-01-05T15:17:00.000-05:002009-01-05T15:17:00.000-05:00Hey Kristie, I'm reading this book right now and I...Hey Kristie, I'm reading this book right now and I have to agree about the blushes.

Glad you enjoyed it...but I'm sorry you felt so self-conscious about taking it to work! I really love the cover, but perhaps you are right that it doesn't quite fit the content. I told my editor regarding it, 'Well, Vic would never wear a tux, but at least your got Niall's pearls on the cover.' *Grin*<BR/>Have a wonderful day.beth keryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01494046728544948697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-33532263932604826882009-01-05T10:56:00.000-05:002009-01-05T10:56:00.000-05:00Ooooh, I'm going to be getting this book soon too ...Ooooh, I'm going to be getting this book soon too and cannot wait to read it!<BR/><BR/>It sounds so good.

It makes me happy when others enjoy the same books I do :) <BR/><BR/>While WB was super hawt, I think the strength behind it is definitely the romance, the connection of two people who have experienced loss in different ways and find their way to each other. <BR/><BR/>Yeah, it would have been exciting to see Niall turn the tables on Vic and become more dominant herself. Maybe the reason she didn't go there is because she has a quieter, more subtle strength, and prefers things just the way they are in the bedroom. Still, that would have been an interesting encounter.Stacy~https://www.blogger.com/profile/14919278697757441246noreply@blogger.com
