Second, a hint of cheating (that's a big no-no for me). Third, I like Carla so much, I had an alternative story in my mind where she ended up with Chance. Fourth, the hero was almost pathetic at one point though I bawled my eyes out when he left the flowers on her doorstep. He should've left just then. Fifth, a romantic side of me refused to believe they created a bond that strong in just 8 days. I can't feel the chemistry that much.
However, Mutton, Clara and Harry the twin made me want to give it a 3 star, each star for each character. ...more
Wow. Just wow. I didn't expect to really like this one. After being disappointed by my last read, this book was exactly what I was looking for.

I was pleasantly surprise. I like both of the characters. Hero and the heroine. Though there was a time where I wanted to smack Reese's face. But it was a really nice read.

It was one of my earliest series that I'd read and now I'm back. I like how Julie James wrote the book's banter and how unapologetic funny it was.
I believed I DNFed this book long time ago because I went through a phase where I didn't like second chance romance (I was so picky then). But now, especially today, I finished it in one sitting. ...more

Lady Madelyne had sealed her own fate. She’d warmed his feet.
This was my first historical romance ever. And with the unfortunate news of Julie Garwood's passing, I couldn't help but wanting to return back to the time when I first picked this one up. To the time where this author had opened up a whole new genre for me. With this one book, it has given me a thousand books more to enjoy.
You never forgot your first time. When your high school friends were obsessed with Etienne St Clair, the boys from Maze Runners, Peeta and Gale, there I was, obsesssing about this grumpy ass baron from the end of 11th century. I was a weird kid.
But damn, if it's not for this one, it's probably would've taken me longer to love this genre as I do now.
As for the book, you're really missing out one of the best historical romance (medieval historical romance to be precise) out there if you haven't picked this one up yet. It'll probably won't you the same nostalgic feeling as it did me, but truly, this book encompassed everything that I love about HR and the whole shtick with grumpy and sunshine. And overly optimistic, honest, innocent and yet charming heroine and her protective, kind and smart hero. It was just a lovely read (and a little bit sad now that she's gone ...more

I read it after years and years, waiting for myself to be ready to be absorbed into a new world (and what appears to be 12 books). I did it. It is a longggggg series and I'm the kind of person that didn't like to read a book and had to wait for the second one.. So, I waited. Until it's currently 12 books now.
So, yeah. Welcome aboard, Lily. Next station, 'Second Grave.'...more
