Status Updates From Serseri Kalbim (Rogues of R...

Creo que este es la historia que más me a gustado de la autora. Si bien sus novelas son muy parecidas entre si, con varios clichés y una trama algo predecible y con mujeres con carácter y desafiantes, en mi bello desconocido saca mucho más partido al protagonista masculino y me ha sorprendido gratamente los giros en la historia.

Lectura rápida y amena, perfecta para pasar el rato. La historia es algo típica, personajes simpáticos.

Just started. Already annoyed. It’s demi-mondaines (people), not demimondes (social descriptor for the world of those people).

Words matter.

But, perhaps I am simply still irritated by the last book. I’m reading a boxed set of 4 novels.

Page 333 and Arthur the Ass finally realizes he hadn't been listening to Kerry at all. I was starting to like him until he decided to visit a brothel after she left, whether anything happened or not. Then he mopes about her headstart when he waited over a full week to even consider going after her. Yeah, I'm so done with this guy.

I hadn't been very impressed until this part. When Arthur tells his friend Adrian that Kerry, a commoner and a Scot, is someone to him and Adrian replies "Well then, that makes her someone to me." It brought tears to my eyes and completely redeemed this book.

As a self-professed ‘unrepentant book addict’, it’s really unusual for me to voluntarily stop reading a book in the middle. It’s even more unusual for me to do so *knowing* that I have no intention of revisiting it. This book was one of the few that earned that dubious honor very quickly.
Now I have to try move it from my ‘reading’ shelf to my ‘wouldn’t read-if-my-life-depended-on-it shelf.
