75 Books...More or Less! discussion

1. Happy Ever After (Bride Quartet, #4) by Roberts, Nora

Baily, what did you thick of this series. I used to be a fan of Nora Roberts but then over the years I kind of got away from her books. However, these books look like they might be a fun beach or rainy day read.

Andrea, I LOVED this series!!! Easy, fun reads!!!

I'm looking forward to finishing this series! I've already read the 1st 3 and am waiting for the last one to arrive from Amazon. I loved the first 3 so I'm betting it will be great.

I really liked them. They are definitely light and easy reads. The concept was cute and the way she carried it through made reading the whole series worth it. I don't know if this last one was the best one, though.

You guys convinced me that I need to add these to my beach bag next summer!...lol

It helped me. My husband and I have a pretty good marriage, but the book helped me understand myself and past disappointments better. We both know now how we communicate love best and I think it will help us in the future. Reading it was more like brushing teeth than a filling - preventive care.

I think for well-developed marriages your response would be typical. I can imagine for some people it would be very, very eye-opening.

Yeah I can see that. I can't really see how anyone would read this and not benefit from it, unless they are in denial or completely self-absorbed.

I actually liked it better than City of Bones. I gave it 4 stars. I am excited about a sequel. What about you?

I haven't read it though it is in my TBR and I keep seeing good reviews probably will read it soon.

I was a little disappointed because it was the story of three different couples getting together in one short period of time, but since the novel is short, it is kind of separated into three mini-stories within the same setting. Since each couple only got about 100-150 pages, there wasn't much room for anything but sexual tension then the conclusion. Not really developed very much.

If you are looking for an easy, no-brainer/substance - pure romance - then this it.

I want to read the Host just because I read the Twilight series...lol
