Mmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm<br /><br />Nicola: I often find the cover blurbs don't do the story justice. Although parts of this one appealed to me I admit - this little bit in particular<br />"For years, he has endured torture at the hands of his captors"<br />*chuckle* That was enough to sell me.<br />But the story inside is very, very good ;-)Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-88293530658992201052009-08-16T22:07:06.965-04:002009-08-16T22:07:06.965-04:00Hmm.

It was a delicious read (I finished it in a couple of hours) and I'm definitely putting Jess Granger on my list. :)Kellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-33352899508378840112009-08-14T23:34:45.967-04:002009-08-14T23:34:45.967-04:00Tumperkin: And not only is he rescued by her - he ...Tumperkin: And not only is he rescued by her - he admires her for her strength in doing so! He's not one of those heroes who has to prove he is more macho.<br />And thank you *g*. It's all about how I react to the characters. That's why I'm so seldom taken out of a book by things that can drive other readers crazy.<br /><br />Nath: We-ell, if you order it online, it's ever so much cheaper. And someone mentioned earlier about another place you can order books at good prices - even in Canada. If I can find it, I'll add it in another comment.<br /><br />Barbara: The first year Wendy, Sybil, Jane and I were roomies in Dallas, we had a long discussion on soul mates. Jane and I love them - Wendy, to put it mildly (heh, heh, heh) did not. So I figured I'd better warn her about this one.<br /><br />Wendy: LOL - I wouldn't say she's a bitch - just a fellow romance reader with different tastes. And that's what makes things so interesting.<br /><br />BookJunkie: Thank you!! I've been out all night (no, not a date) and it was a busy day at work - but I'll stop by now.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-60544754689938943442009-08-14T15:16:14.625-04:002009-08-14T15:16:14.625-04:00I loooooove the sound of this!

I tend to use cartoon character sayings a lot. My favourite one is Bug's Bunny's "What a maroon" for someone who does stupid things. He used to call Yousimitie Sam that a lot. Pinky and The Brain also have some great ones "What are we doing tonight Brain?". As did Foghorn Leghorn. And of course Alf!! Though of course he wasn't a cartoon - although, come to think of it - I think there WAS an ALF cartoon - I just never watched it.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-56784160395971792452009-08-14T00:03:34.527-04:002009-08-14T00:03:34.527-04:00You've sold me. *sigh* Looking for change in...You've sold me. *sigh* Looking for change in couch now.<br /><br />btw: what is WoWzErS?Shaymless Aymlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17846352466332137169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-17664191761412186782009-08-13T23:37:14.885-04:002009-08-13T23:37:14.885-04:00Oh - she wasn't a warrior in the sense that yo...Oh - she wasn't a warrior in the sense that you might be thinking!! She came from a very civilized place - at least the part of the world she lived in after she was "rescued". She wasn't anything like Xina - Princess Warrior for example. It was more like she was in the 'military' with her own squadron of men. Except it was a space ship. More along the lines of Captain Janeaway - but younger and more naive in the ways of love and happiness. She had been 'trained' for years to hold all emotions in check. And then when she meets Soren, she's not sure how to handle her feelings for him thinking she can't allow herself to feel anything for him since she has plans for the rest of her life that definitely don't include any kind of relationships.<br />I should have added all that to the review *g*.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-90876058380120757752009-08-13T23:20:32.821-04:002009-08-13T23:20:32.821-04:00Great review Kristie!
