It's a GOOD thing when men are honest and tell us what they do and do not want, so to override that by drugging him to get her own way, I totally hated this book and selfish Jenna.*Goddess*https://www.blogger.com/profile/03012831511206842735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276928600092211687.post-87396072457059881142010-03-21T17:59:58.300-05:002010-03-21T17:59:58.300-05:00I think I couldn't get past that either!

I was interested a bit in this book because I got the first one at RWA, but reading this review, I would be totally hung up on the fact that they were planning a date rape, too. Regardless of gender, it would be a date rape. <br /><br />I had a similar marring experience reading Nora Roberts' Blue Dahlia. In it, one of the secondary characters (who gets a sequel) is pregnant thanks to a one night stand with a friend. Because her friend is now engaged, she doesn't want to tell him about the baby because she doesn't want to "be a hassle." <br /><br />And that's it for the novel. I kept going, "WTF? You're keeping a child from its father and vice versa because you don't want to be hassle? He can be married to someone else and still want to know if he has a kid out there somewhere!" I mean, it's nowhere near a date-rape joke but it was something that continued to bug me and brought down the novel.<br /><br />Great review!AnimeJunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18229748454410488167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276928600092211687.post-28333802832211364882010-03-17T16:40:09.427-05:002010-03-17T16:40:09.427-05:00Oh yeah, if those roles were reversed that book wo...Oh yeah, if those roles were reversed that book wouldn't even be published... I don't like it when romance writers treat their male protagonists as 'things' - a means to an end.<br />Great, honest review.<br /><br />P.S. - I see you've finished 'Morganvile Vampires' - I can't wait to read your review! And there was happy news last week, Ms. Caine announced that she is contracted for 12 MV books (not sure if that means 4 more, or another 12 ? - either way, WOO-HOO!)Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08440460463119645788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276928600092211687.post-21693644461294908312010-03-17T12:31:10.331-05:002010-03-17T12:31:10.331-05:00Whoa any book that has the main heroine trying to ...Whoa any book that has the main heroine trying to get pregnant does not sound like a good book. The only book I've ever read where I actually didn't mind that aspect was Susan Elizabeth Phillips, even then I had a few niggles reading about it.<br /><br />This is what turns me off of contemporary romance the Jerry Springer style plot.Smokinhotbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13407531114149675929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276928600092211687.post-6996835130535956092010-03-17T09:27:57.014-05:002010-03-17T09:27:57.014-05:00Haven't read anything like this in a while and...Haven't read anything like this in a while and I do want to now :)Blodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276928600092211687.post-7291125093385165402010-03-17T09:03:03.224-05:002010-03-17T09:03:03.224-05:00Sorry to see that it was not your fave honey. =(
