Some people struggle with that, but there's so much funny stuff going on inside the heads of her heroines, that I get such a kick out of it! I hope you like them. I've got two unread books from her backlist and hope to get to those myself!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-21522611153097934012011-11-07T16:59:22.809-05:002011-11-07T16:59:22.809-05:00I loved this book also - it was my first KH and I ...I loved this book also - it was my first KH and I can't wait to tackle her back list!Devhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11767015769382836304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-86697306735463796392011-11-03T17:35:13.468-04:002011-11-03T17:35:13.468-04:00Deanna, I think you're going to like Kristan&#...Deanna, I think you're going to like Kristan's books.

I love her covers and I love the blurbs on all of them.

I will...nath, I'm glad you liked this one, too! I will come read your review shortly. I agree! The characters in this one were not nearly neurotic as some of Higgins' others. The story was very believable--and the major conflict surrounding the "misunderstanding" was believable and not too over the top. I liked it.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-77409787785123551292011-10-31T18:27:03.497-04:002011-10-31T18:27:03.497-04:00Glad you enjoyed Christine :) Just posted my revie...Glad you enjoyed Christine :) Just posted my review up :) I think it was a nice book :) It wasn't too neurotic or sugary and I liked that we understood their actions. Given their personalities and what they were going through at the moment, it made sense :)<br /><br />Oh, interesting about the next book. Hmmm, Catch of the Day was not one of my fave though...nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-77750835838196208362011-10-31T15:31:48.713-04:002011-10-31T15:31:48.713-04:00Leslie, I hope you get around to this one.

So much fun to read! I loved visiting with all of the characters, too. I never felt like rushing through the side plots to get back to Posey & Liam together. I liked them separately as well as together. <br /><br />Brandy, Glad you liked this one, too!! I understand about the ex thing... but did you know that the ex's ARE the couple? They get their second chance to fix things. Anyway... May couldn't get here fast enough for the next one!<br /><br />Alex, Liam was definitely over the top at times, but I thought it really fit. He matured and learned a lot married to Emma and especially becoming a dad. Then to be thrust into single parenthood with a teen? I can tell you, I could see my husband being just like Liam, heaven forbid. <br /><br />Angie, <br />Oh, you read it, too! Yay! <br />I KNOW! I can't wait for <i>Somebody to Love</i>! I might just re-read <i>Catch of the Day</i> next spring to bring me back to Maine! :) <br /><br />Brie, <br />I read your review [will comment tomorrow!] and do understand where you're coming from, but I guess it just worked for me because I could see how much Liam grew as a character while he was away from Bellsford as well as upon his return. His return and his interactions with Posey were critical to his growth, his journey to find where he belonged, where he was accepted and even to improve HIS self esteem. So yeah, he did have a lot going on in his world. Posey grounded him... and kind of gave him wings at the same time. <br /><br />And can I just say how much I adore the name Posey? ; )Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-16193218878885829512011-10-29T22:06:55.607-04:002011-10-29T22:06:55.607-04:00This is quite a polarizing book, people either lov...This is quite a polarizing book, people either love it or hate it. I didn’t hate it, but it wasn’t my favorite. Some parts were brilliant but I found the romance lacking, I felt like Posey loved Liam too much, but Liam didn’t love her as much, he was too busy adjusting to life and dealing with his issues to really pay attention to Posey. It just didn’t work for me, but it’s nice to see how everyone feels about it and it’s been a great source for debate.<br /><br />I did read it all at once because I couldn’t stop! And the family was so much fun, I loved Jon and Henry, they were my favorite characters.Briehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694232807189281284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-59488847771915350612011-10-29T00:18:02.270-04:002011-10-29T00:18:02.270-04:00Back in the same town as Maggie and Malone?!

I always wind up reading Kristan Higgins books and I generally enjoy them - Though I didn't like the previous one. <br /><br />Anyway, I liked this one well enough but I felt Liam was a bit over the top sometimes. <br /><br />Still, I'm really excited about Somebody to Love! :D I just haven't heard much about it :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-76229415819888225222011-10-28T20:27:00.925-04:002011-10-28T20:27:00.925-04:00I stayed up late reading it, too. *g* I'll adm...I stayed up late reading it, too. *g* I'll admit I didn't read the one before this one (I'm not a fan of -ex's and their issues.)
