I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars. I liked these characters and the way previous books' protagonists were incorporated into the story, but there were a few typos that made it feel like the editorial process was rushed. Also, the climactic scene of the book reminded me a lot of Dead Poets Society and...
I really found this installment of the Rules of Scoundrels story to be the best one - both in terms of relationship and in terms of the overall style of writing. From the first sentence, I knew this book would be different and better than the previous two simply in terms of her writing. I've alwa...
Finally the full story on Temple, and another fine example of a woman of wit and courage. I really enjoyed the book.

This book is worth far more thank 5 stars!!!! It was magnificent! The longing/wanting/need was conveyed to perfection! Someone mentioned breathlessness and yes!! That too!!! I LOVED the characters honesty. Pippa was straightforward and honest throughout the book and I think it was one of the thi...

I liked her so much and everything about her. As for Cross, he was her perfect match. I loved reading their interactions bec...

Wow, I hated Bourne. It's been a while since I read a hero I despised as much as him. He was a cruel, hypocritical, jerk and I felt so sad for Penelope because obviously the very fact that she had no choice in her life made her happy to be with him. Pretty depressing honestly.The letters at th...
I started reading this book in preparation for meeting the author at NELA. It was clear from the beginning that MacLean was weaned on the same romances I read as a teenager, just due to the language used. The story, though, did not seem derivative, and I thoroughly enjoyed the story of Penelope a...
