Whatever happened to Susan Lewis?

This book book was full of unnecessary details that went on and on until I started flipping several pages at a time and finally gave up.

Too much information about mundane stuff.

I remember a time when Ms. Lewis could literally keep me up all night reading her earlier books. Her books were dramatic, fast paced awesome sex scenes and filled with angst, now I think she just writes to fill the pages.

This was a good one by Susan Lewis.

It tackles a difficult subject matter.

This one was great from start to finish.
There was a good amount of angst.
Probably too much sex at some point which for me reduced the relationship to a sexual relationship rather than a love relationship.
We didn't get to see much of the different facets of both Jamie and Wes.
I don't know if book two addresses this but book one wrapped up nicely and I will just leave it there.

This is my first J.J. McAvoy book, for the most part I loved it.
It started out very strong, she really showed the emotions that Gwen and Eli went through especially at the wedding. That's what pulled me in.
The book fizzled in the middle though and I began not to like Eli. He was rude even to Gwen at first and he was an Ass to the other doctors under him, he couldn't be bothered even to know their names. He was arrogant and egotistical it was annoying.
I loved Gwen though, I liked how she dressed the way she felt and was not limited by her success in what she did.

I had a problem with Gwen's age though. I know it's a small thing but it never left my mind through out the book.
How could she be 24? She had a three year relationship with Sebastian something that started when she was working for his company and had already established her career and sold expensive pieces of her work.
I mean she was doing so well she was selling 2 million dollar pieces.
The epilogue was a nice touch especially with things turned out in the end. I was glad that they were able to overcome it all.
Ms.McAvoy's writing is superb, I am looking forward to her next book.

Although this book is well written it did stay on the dull side for a big part of the book with nothing really interesting happening and too much of it being about the mundane, everyday things.
The romantic interaction between Tim and Matt didn't come until the end of the book which was quite disappointing even for a slow burn there wasn't much to suggest that they were into each other for a big chunk of the book.
I really don't like it when the MCs have sex with other people while apparently being in love with someone else and doing nothing to let them know about it.
The quality of writing is what kept me reading I had hope that it would improve and get more interesting but it didn't do that by much but it was good enough to stay with all the same.

I gave up on this one, it started it so well, I was really hopeful about it then it took the now familiar Pamela Clare shtick turn. She gave us a perfect man, Strong, handsome, everyone except the villain adores him. The part I gave up on was after 100 lashes Iain had the strength to walk around trying to save Annie and even try to have sex with her and it's not the pain that stopped him. It is ridiculous.
I like reading about real humans and their human failings including physical ones are more interesting to me.
