As predictable as they may be I find the sassy attitudes and can do power of the four women in this series refreshing and fun. It brings the little girl dream of "being" somebody and bringing love along for the ride out in me. It made me think of "what-if"? Do I have what it takes to make my dreams come true?<br />I don't often reread books but know that if I need a day to get away from it all I'll just pick up one of these books and be carried away.Canadahttp://rantofimitation.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021473124623956380.post-13121916831604951022009-12-13T22:30:48.597-05:002009-12-13T22:30:48.597-05:00Great review and you guys certainly picked out a f...Great review and you guys certainly picked out a few things that had been bothering me about the books. What also bugged <br />1) yet again there was a psycho ex-girlfriend of the hero - I really hope one doesn't pop up in the future books<br />2) For someone who supposedly has the happiest most intact family of the group, Emma barely spoke to anyone but her mother. None of her sisters came over during the heartbreak period.<br />3) I didn't find the conversations between men as entertaining or "true to life" as I usually do. Except the "double agent" bit which was hilarious!<br />4) what is with all the barely there eating all the women do? All the diet Coke? Even the pastry chef is thin!<br /><br />What I liked - I actually liked all the florist scenes because I found myself thinking how I could create that! The friendship between the women, and the emergence of the Mrs. Grady character was lovely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021473124623956380.post-42508473182730063332009-11-16T18:32:40.524-05:002009-11-16T18:32:40.524-05:00Tabitha - I agree Tabz, I thought the girls were t...<b>Tabitha</b> - I agree Tabz, I thought the girls were tough against Jack... and it sucks, because it proves that you cannot go friends to lovers to friends again. Things will definitively change. It's a good thing when your gfs support you, but I thought that the girls weren't fair.

It was a straight romance and it was Nora. Not my favorite, though. I also had some problems with this one, although I liked both Emma & Jack. :) I still like Carter, though -- I'm a sucker for a nerdy beta. ;PHilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021473124623956380.post-75977931181117125652009-11-12T11:56:00.981-05:002009-11-12T11:56:00.981-05:00I like BOR more so than VIW.

Yes, Jack was an a** when he pocketed the keys but you have to think they had only been dating for 2mos. Storybook time may be considered long but in RL, that's not long at all. I love the friendship between the girls but I think they were a bit rash in reacting against Jack. It's not a crime for a guy to have a bad day or to feel as if his space was invaded.<br /><br />Btw, I'm not a fan of Carter much. He's too cheesy-dorky for me. lol.<br /><br />I can't wait for Parker and Mal's story!Tabithahttp://tabzyreads.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021473124623956380.post-9648359961249623872009-11-12T09:40:24.773-05:002009-11-12T09:40:24.773-05:00I LOVE the covers!!!

And thank you for posting the spoiler notice, you'd be surprised how many people don't. <br /><br />Averaged out would be around a B so that's good. :) I do think the covers, so far, are beautiful. They definitely shout "Romance".Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055116610295076439noreply@blogger.com
