I think I have that in my TBR pile, but I'm not positive.<br /><br />I do know I have this TBR, but I've been putting off reading it. I can't say why for sure, since I enjoyed the other three I read, but reading your review makes me think I've been making the right choice.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09750929058018343501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18010424.post-22050017548939264392009-10-28T13:19:25.907-04:002009-10-28T13:19:25.907-04:00It's more that some of her books are more enjo...It's more that some of her books are more enjoyable than others... I quite enjoyed all of her older releases, but her latest series... And Then He Kissed Her and Secrets of a Proper Gentleman were better... Wicked and the newest one, With Seduction in Mind were so-so. <br /><br />You're right, she tends to develop the heroines more than heroes.nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18010424.post-34544172384706420532009-10-28T10:14:16.810-04:002009-10-28T10:14:16.810-04:00Thanks Jill!

Which isn't to say the heroes were weak, not at all.

At least, that's how I feel about it. It sounds like this book would have made for a good discussion.Jill D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10994157783980931093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18010424.post-45075450972591310792009-10-27T20:38:44.428-04:002009-10-27T20:38:44.428-04:00Probably yes.

There were a few moments however when I wondered at her public behavior...think that was what I was thinking anyway. <br /><br />Hmmmm, Wicked wasn't so good, eh? Guhrke a hit or miss author? Or is it just that some of her titles are more enjoyable than others? No duds, just some that don't work as well as others? Got me thinking now...LOL.Jennifer B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14499251230157627049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18010424.post-67504913935554924062009-10-27T20:24:18.641-04:002009-10-27T20:24:18.641-04:00Hey Jennifer :D

As for Maria feeling her station, I think it's because it's always been that way in their relationship, don't you think?nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18010424.post-30092749666866081902009-10-27T20:16:31.813-04:002009-10-27T20:16:31.813-04:00I loved Breathless!
