I'd like to read a historial romance in which the heroine doesn't suddenly turn into a 21st century woman, but is still relatable :) Tall order methinks!oranniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007355589161084262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-18503975327940752652013-02-23T19:18:14.713-05:002013-02-23T19:18:14.713-05:00I think that I'm behind in EVERY series that I...I think that I'm behind in EVERY series that I read. Seriously...I never seem to catch up. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed this one even if it wasn't perfect. I was actually thinking about grabbing Wicked Intentions by this author from the library the next time that I go. Good luck figuring out which series you are going try to catch up with ;)samantha.1020https://www.blogger.com/profile/04124614710493747821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-49866321111754193052013-02-23T06:36:39.607-05:002013-02-23T06:36:39.607-05:00I liked this one, but my favourite in the series i...I liked this one, but my favourite in the series is the second one!

I'll still try it though because like you? Yeah, the whole series is in my TBR.

I really like it when we can see the couple's developing relationship through sexual tension scenes, much better than sex right away.<br />:)<br />****S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12010038911071421007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-37792503459683841822013-02-20T22:25:29.328-05:002013-02-20T22:25:29.328-05:00Yeah, I was pretty disappointed with this one.

The rather outlandish elements of the plot got in the way as well. :)Angiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00353676756221692186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-76478296804552105972013-02-20T22:22:50.711-05:002013-02-20T22:22:50.711-05:00I really liked this one...good to see you enjoyed ...I really liked this one...good to see you enjoyed it as well.

There are flaws in this read... absolutely. I mean if you think about it there's a lot of the "wallpaper" historical romance to this book too, right? <br /><br />But, but, but... I still love it. LOL! I love re-reading it too. I don't know what it is about it either. It might be ugly Edward and his rude attitude, or that I enjoy the building sexual tension in all those frustrated encounters between Edward and Anna while they work together. I never reviewed this book and probably won't because hmm... I want to keep enjoying it, flaws and all. *g* <br /><br />I enjoyed this series as a whole but after all this time it's interesting because I find that the most memorable book of the trilogy for me was The Serpent Prince, Book #3.
