I am finding the new Nora Roberts "The Last boyfriend" somewhat slow going and contrived, for example. Well written, just not my style.
I did enjoy the WWII story the most out of the book. The ending to that story did bring a tear to my eye. I'm going to blame 50 Shades to numbing me. After all the emotional drama that is Fifty. The Unsung Hero was too normal. I've recovered now after reading Metro Girl. Nothing like a funny ridiculous Evanovich novel to bring you back to your senses. So I can go back to reading and not be afraid to get emotionally involved with the characters.
