Oh man, it can be SO bad. <br /><br />Anonymous: You are welcome!

Unfortunately, it can often take a sharp left and nose dive straight into "I can't believe I'm reading this, where is the lighter, I need to set this on fire" land. Thanks for the review. I know to mark this one off my holiday reading list.

Seriously though, I need to get better about e-mailing authors when I LOVE one of their books. I'm not so great about doing that.<br /><br />Jazz: It just killed me. Every single mother I've ever known in my life - birth control was not a shrug of a the shoulders and "oh well." They were quite serious on the subject! <br /><br />And I didn't mention this in the review, but what also really bothered me was how the heroine let her daughter get so close to the hero - even knowing he was this closed off hermit type. I mean, the thought that her daughter would get too attached and get her heart broken doesn't really sink into her thick skull until that's exactly what happens. So yeah, problematic all the way around.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-56446546886245798652017-12-26T11:47:43.176-08:002017-12-26T11:47:43.176-08:00Urgh, just urgh.

He's lovely, but also proof that, yes, you can get pregnant that easily.<br /><br />I do value domestic skills, especially cooking, but if that is all there is to a heroine then she'll bore the hell out of me.Jazzlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02187070209647362154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-57009545608702881072017-12-26T11:33:55.076-08:002017-12-26T11:33:55.076-08:00Snerk!

So the whole pointless paragraph about readers leaving comments on an author's web site was in an ARC I got from Netgalley.

("I hope you are on birth control"? seriously?), means I'm not reading anything else by this author.<br /><br />Which also means cleaning up my TBR (I know I have a few of her books in both the physical and the digital cordilleras), and adding the author to my NEVER READING list.aztecladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14857872357667370906noreply@blogger.com
