As you know *ROTFL* I just went to see Bryan Adams last night - and yep he did a wonderful job of "our song" and I was thinking of the book while I was watching him. Bryan isn't nearly the "out of control Rock Star" that Zander was, but it was interesting going to a concert so soon after reading Bliss.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-78878338911168322792015-02-07T16:35:55.262-08:002015-02-07T16:35:55.262-08:00AL: I need to dive into my Giant Rubbermaid Tote o...AL: I need to dive into my Giant Rubbermaid Tote of Category Romance and take an inventory.

I agree Re: Za...take 2 - it ate my first response.<br /><br />I agree Re: Zander in the other books ( I think at this point I have read all of Karina's backlist) ;)<br /><br />I think the leap Elizabeth takes at the end, when talking to Max, was a bit out of character, especially from where she had been a few chapters early re: public. OTOH, I can see why she did that because she was doing everything she could to get want she wanted (Zander)<br /><br />While this was not a perfect book, it hit almost all the things I want in a great book, especially the characters - there is so much to all of them, with lots and lots of layers to them. I am looking forward to the books to come. It packed an emotional wallop.<br /><br />I am trying to be vague to not spoil, I think I did a better job over on good readsBrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17790342815419380314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-84656761306549078122015-02-06T06:44:46.725-08:002015-02-06T06:44:46.725-08:00Wendy, dangnabit, I really really liked it.

That was when it clicked for me, "This guy needs his own book, like yesterday." <br /><br />I'll be curious to hear what you think. I have some quibbles with the ending, but all in all I enjoyed it.

I think Zander is very nuanced. I like how we are seeing under the rock persona, which was what we mostly knew of him from his previous appearances. And I love Elizabeth - she is not cowed by him. Can't wait to finish if the ending chapters are even more emotionally charged than the beginning.Brihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17790342815419380314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-17269101936571058102015-02-03T06:07:46.532-08:002015-02-03T06:07:46.532-08:00I've read What the Librarian Did in 2011 and t...I've read What the Librarian Did in 2011 and to be honest I don't remember much, but when you said that in this book both of them carry their own weight I felt interested in reading.
