Doing a re-read but in audio format this time.

Lots of set up being done but because I know that it's the first book in a trilogy I don't mind so much. I do appreciate an author who doesn't treat me like an idiot and makes the assumption I'll be able to follow along (unlike the last book I read *cough*50shades*cough*)

If he hasn't had vanilla sex before how did he know it doesn't work for him?

You'd better hope he didn't empty himself inside of you missy or that means the condom broke...

Really... Why the hell isn't she running? Why didn't he get to know her even a little before presenting her with a contract? Yikes a tstl sub and a self absorbed Dom... Not a great combo...

Now the charismatic and enigmatic man has been lost, devastated and wounded...

Oh come on... When a friend walks in crying you don't ask her if she had to drink coffee which we were just told (again) that she doesn't like. Is this an American thing? If you get asked for coffee over there are you not allowed to order something other than coffee? Over here going for coffee means enjoying a beverage whilst having a catch up.

And just when I thought things were getting better I get to hear about the boy in her chemistry class who liked her.... Edit people edit... You are diluting the emotional impact of the scene with unnecessary bits of detail.

So far the charismatic, enigmatic man who is so young has looked lost then devastated.... Not sounding so enigmatic after all.... Maybe he could go fishing with her taciturn step-father?

Who says taciturn when describing their father? I'm getting the feeling that someone used the thesaurus a lot when writing this...

What the hell is bag out tea?

Oh yay - she's admitted to herself that she "likes" him. Is she in high school?

Someone shot the editor - why did I need to know that she was able to get a couple of hours work in and that it's busy at work because it's the summer decorating season?

Seriously - "expensive and absorbing hobbies"... He sounds like a twat....

Really clunky start- why do I need to know what sort of medicine the roommate is taking for her flu?

Jolie and Ilya's first meeting - I'd forgotten their story started so soon...

Okay - I'm still not loving Abby but the change in narrator makes is bearable. So far it's been me me me I I I from here.

This book really isn't reading like the first book in a series... have to say I'm presently surprised by that fact :)

Ilya! First sighting of Ilya!

Putting this away for now - not because it's not a good book but purely because I'm trying to get Fifty Shades read for a book club evening next week...

Have given up on the audiobook completely. Dreadful! Am going to try reading an ebook version and see how I go. Having trouble with how often she tries to convince me that the hero is charismatic - DON'T TELL ME... SHOW ME...

Doing a re-read to review for my blog. First time reading of the audiobook. Really really thankful that it's not the same narrator as the previous two.

Liking Carter more and more... dare I hope that the author will take the interesting path and not have her end up with either of the overly obvious rom. interests... I'm kind of betting at this point that Roman is the bad guy though...

Already in love with Seth.... Go away person named Roman...

Slowly getting back into reading after a bit of a health (scare/issue/problem?). I've discovered that when I'm sick I really don't read that much other than old friends like Eve & Roarke, Kate & Curran and of course the shot of laughter that is Jane Jameson...

Are we really sure this is JQ? The writing is ... Clunky. Sweet h/h... but unlikeable secondary characters.

Are we sure that this is a JQ book? The last two sentences were basically - Honoria got bored and then Marcus got bored.

Doctor who finale = epic amazing and romantic. Seriously considering building a temple to Steven Moffat and offering to have his babies.

he he he... make out bunker

Oh my god! I haven't anticipated a kiss this much in years. You'd think it was some big erotic sex scene!
