What she does with a few kisses is just astonishing. And the library had TCAC for sale, I might just pick it up to see just how bad bad can be. <BR/><BR/>MeganMegan Framptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17196738392230684978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11597422.post-1119028290447538972005-06-17T13:11:00.000-04:002005-06-17T13:11:00.000-04:00Tara: I agree with you on the Vanak book (but you...Tara: I agree with you on the Vanak book (but you know that:).<BR/>Now taking into consideration that I gave TCATC a B and AAR gave it an F, and AAR gave the other 2 D's, will that make them A's for me??? I agree though, it should have gotten higher than an F on uniqueness alone.<BR/>Just goes to show, reviews are great for story outlines and general ideas but basically we are all individual readers with individual tastes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11597422.post-1119017577960506942005-06-17T10:12:00.000-04:002005-06-17T10:12:00.000-04:00OMG- I have this in my TBR.

The TBR book was from the trade shelf at the library. Maybe I'll return it. :(Bob & Muffintophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12517851052183148808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11597422.post-1119008617490518322005-06-17T07:43:00.000-04:002005-06-17T07:43:00.000-04:00Amy--I didn't even get into her horrible family. ...Amy--I didn't even get into her horrible family.

Victoria was so plain silly and Alexander was just damned domineering. I wanted to smack the s*** out of both of them. And the way she lashed out at everyone drove me INSANE!!! She was more like a five year old!!! The characters that really annoyed me the most is her family. They really made me nuts by the way they "pimped" her out to make sure that the two of them get intentionally caught together in bed. And I really wasn't surprised when the Big Misunderstanding happened. It was bound to happen when you got two vengeful women and all that innocent sneaking around. <BR/><BR/>I was hoping for a better book from Ms. Grasso. I am a big fan of her writing but this one wasn't up to snuff.<BR/><BR/>AmyAngry Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995815893306739594noreply@blogger.com
