If you are a fan, I would suggest skimming for the stuff/people you like. You can definitely do that with this one.Devonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12526459179535104279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15898979.post-6202829542703642842007-03-18T13:44:00.000-05:002007-03-18T13:44:00.000-05:00I liked your review a lot.

I haven't read it yet, but after all the reviews I dont know if I'm going to. I have it sitting on my shelf but I dunno... I started it, just can't really get into Butch yet. We'll see.

I suspect she ran out of pages since the book was already longer than her others (having said that, Ward could have just removed that issue altogether). This was the same problem I felt with LA - the ending just went all lovey-dovey and I was like, what? At least in this one there were a lot more scenes between the H/H.<BR/><BR/>I mentioned this on Sybil's blog and it's one of the things I'm going to blog about (when I have the energy) but I this book had a very category romancey vibe for me. I grew up on category so a lot of the contrivances didn't bother me too much. My mileage obviously varies. *lol*Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02635753217472348567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15898979.post-34145675447930072952007-03-09T22:42:00.000-05:002007-03-09T22:42:00.000-05:00Holly--The only time Marissa really bugged me was ...Holly--The only time Marissa really bugged me was at the end, with the pushing Butch away, which I'm pretty sure you mentioned in your review. It was dumb, and seemed really contrived. She was with Wrath for how long? Wasn't worried about his activities, although perhaps she was distracted by her sexual frustration.<BR/><BR/>Kat--I've lurked at Ward's board, and it seems like there are Layla fans. She just seems like a..fembot..or something. "Can I stand up now? Shall I take my clothes off now?" Can't get into her. I checked out your LR linkage at your blog. People are saying similar stuff. I'll be looking for your review.Devonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12526459179535104279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15898979.post-50010759961575755352007-03-09T18:16:00.000-05:002007-03-09T18:16:00.000-05:00I have to say I loved Layla in LE - now there was ...I have to say I loved Layla in LE - now there was F/M/F potential right there. It's interesting to read all the reviews - everyone comments on very similar things but with different reactions. I've been rereading bits and pieces over the last couple of days but I just know my review is going to be wordy so I'm procrastinating by reading other people's! *lol*Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02635753217472348567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15898979.post-19068723995948701262007-03-09T17:53:00.000-05:002007-03-09T17:53:00.000-05:00Yeah, I think you liked it more than I did, too, b...Yeah, I think you liked it more than I did, too, but we're pretty spot on in our opinions. Except for Marissa. Even though she grew throughout the book, she still falls into my TSTL category. :)Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01182390014214738550noreply@blogger.com
