I skip right over the title of that one! I am so use to all those Dukes running around in London or All those virgin secretaries just waiting for those Billionaires to seduced them.
Some tropes have been so overdone they become cringe worthy. |

Well, there's a naive heroine, and then there's one who's, hmm, to put it nicely, not the brightest crayon in the box. I was so frustrated with her! And IMO the writing was awkward, like the author was trying way too hard to write something profound and it just never came to fruition. ie "Right there in that moment, the tension in both Gavin and Emily's shoulders-from the way their worlds collided-deflated and vanished like a ghost". Also, it was very cliche and predictable, just not for me.

There is alot of NA out there and it's hard to sort through it when everyone is going nuts over every story. Right now I am just trying to get through Rock Chick book 6. Sadie just isn't a heroine I can connect with. Mace isn't someone I get. I'm looking forward to Hector's story though which is next. I'll probably be ready for another NA after I finish the Rock Chick series. |

Glad it wasn't just me! That was the quitting point for me, there were quite a few lines like that in the book.

Off topic sorta but my Peeramid Bookrest just came! Now I can read my Paperwhite or Kindle Fire hands free! I've been having some neck issues that cause pain in my shoulder. I was using blankets to prop my Kindle up and now I don't have to! |

They probably wanted to upgrade the format to KF8 and hit the wrong button to re-upload the prior edition. Or, are just thinking like a print publisher - two formats, two editions (rather than fixing the broken one they sold the suckers before....), two prices, etc..

Doesn't seem like enough to do more than buy a house that isn't falling down (at least, according to the house fixing/buying shows on cable) and perhaps get a start on the kid's college fund, leaving nothing left over to retire on. |

We have that cart for many years and I hate that thing! I can't began to tell you how many times hubby had to tighten it. It's about as stable as diftwood. He finally put it in the storage room or got rid of it I hope. He used it as a laptop table. Stubbing toes hazard and just plain eye sore. It came without a piece and I had to contact the company to send it. The finish starting peeling within months and it squeaks. In our small apartment it just took up too much room. I was always moving it around. He needs something much smaller. |
