Cam's book sounds interesting... I actually read the blurb at the back of the book to see if I would be interesting in continuing... and I AM! :DHilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-88391210069144388472010-09-02T17:51:04.302-04:002010-09-02T17:51:04.302-04:00A C?

And Isabella, although frustrating in her indesiveness, is also a likable character... it's just... hmm... well, maybe you should read it and see. ;P I'm definitely reading Cam's book, though!Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-45748336536469720102010-08-30T20:59:16.421-04:002010-08-30T20:59:16.421-04:00I don't know, from what I read so far - your r...I don't know, from what I read so far - your review and others - it seems to me Mac and Isabella are really volatile characters.

The flashback thing is one of my pet peeves and might not be bother you at all... I still love the Mackenzie brothers and will continue with the series. :)Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-46034377110779069052010-08-29T20:40:15.014-04:002010-08-29T20:40:15.014-04:00I think flashbacks are a difficult thing to effect...I think flashbacks are a difficult thing to effectively incorporate in a story.

Her almost "teasing" attitude was quite frustrating, and the impersonator part of the story was weak... but I thought without both, we wouldn't have had much of a story left. :( The flashbacks yanked me out of the moment every single time and after a while, I couldn't enjoy their present or past moments. Weird.<br /><br />Natalie, yes I agree and that's exactly what happened to me. The first book in this series is really excellent. This is not a favorite, but I'm looking forward to reading about the other 2 brothers. I hope their books are as good as the first one. :)Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-12202675634513476472010-08-29T11:24:26.958-04:002010-08-29T11:24:26.958-04:00I haven't read this and honestly, I don't ...I haven't read this and honestly, I don't think I'm going to read this now. I am also not a fan of flashbacks in the middle of an interesting scene. It definitely takes out the momentum and the excitement. But, I almost bought this novel, one day while at Shoprite, (yes I also buy novels at the grocery store), but instead I remained calm and simply took picture of the cover, thinking I might buy someday.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184417571128435910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-50416762477816482572010-08-28T16:58:29.838-04:002010-08-28T16:58:29.838-04:00Yeah, I wasn't a huge fan of this one.

I wasn't a fan of the impersonator either.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320961506471746567noreply@blogger.com
