Uh, lost my will to recreate it. But, in a nutshell, I thought this was a good post, I like the villain plot, good observation on threesome issue, and I thought she would choose the other guy due to the unmanly garb of the one she did choose. WHew.

Great review!

Okay, finally finished this! I really liked the villain subplot! Also, I really thought she’d go for the other man than she did. You know what made me think it? the comment on how he loved his fine fashion toward the beginning. I thought, ah, not a manly trait!

Anyway, I’m going to post on this, but wow, though I had some qualms, esp some of the prose around the sex scenes and other small issues, I was really happy with the way this book broke the rules, and kept me turning pages!

Yes, Sophie chose the man I would have chosen. I knew right from the beginning whom she should stay with, and yay, it happened! I was very happy about that.

Now I’m insatiably curious about Rebecca and what happened to her. I don’t it’s the next book though.

Stacy – thanks! I was looking forward to hearing what you thought of the book: were you satisfied with the ending as I was? Did you like her choice?

It was a very bold move to write this story the way it went down, and definitely Ms. Haymore deserves credit for that. It took me out of my comfort zone because she didn’t back down from writing the “don’t go there” aspect. She did, in fact, go there.

Great review Ana!

And yes, the loser gets his book next. And there is a cliff-hanger re, secondary storyline. *sighs*

*sighs too* Why can’t we get books in which an interesting male character will be left alone and won’t be back for an encore in his own book?

For me it always detracts from the intensity of the love triangle to see the “loser” get merry with another woman a few months/years after the first book is over. And it’s doubly annoying because it happens all the time. I love reading about a tragic character that will pine for the rest of his life. It makes for much more of an emotional impact. But we only seem to get those as minor characters (the father of the heroine who never looked at another woman after his wife died, the hero’s uncle who was in love with the hero’s mother until he drew his last breath etc…..).

This book did sound different when I was reading your review but knowing the “loser” will get his own book put me right off. Where are the standalones of old?
