oh this book! I have never found myself so caught up in a book. I never wanted it to end!! the relationship between once and shane is identical to the relationship that I have. I love how much vance cares for shane even though he has been hurt. I also love how head strong shane is and goes for her dreams. Amazing book!!!
Nice novella, although they changed the names in German? lol
First Impressions:
A very slow starting story. I didn't know if I was going to be able to get through it at first. However, there were a few unexpected and interesting plot turns towards the middle of the story. After that, the story went downhill again. The main conflict was obvious from the very beginning and nothing saved the story after that.
Blithe Images:
This story creeped me completely out and then just annoyed me. It felt like I was reading a romance novel from the 70s - you know the type, where the heroine just gets walked all over by the male lead (I refuse to call him a hero) and no one seems to think anything is wrong with that picture. But the creepy part came because everyone treated the heroine in this story like a child. They would pat her on the head, tell her what was best for her, ignore her protests, etc. There's even a scene where she is modeling dressed up as a girl (in pigtails and everything) and the male lead gets turned on by this...CREEPY! This story should be given a negative rating.

In spite of its lovely cover art, this book had virtually nothing to do with Christmas. It was a very typical contemporary romance novel. The complete lack of real conflict made it a relaxing read but nothing special.
Two early Nora Roberts Silhouette romances that show the promise of her later writing.
