Reviews for the Literary Inclined discussion

Read from October 03 to 06, 2012

On a scale from 1-5♥'s, it's a 4, on a scale from 1-10♥'s I would give it a 7½♥'s.

First off, let me tell anyone out there... these are "f"d up individuals. If you like the first book, you will like the second. It may not seem that way through the book... most of the book, in fact. Friends that had read it already said the same thing. Until you reach nearly the end, it's a toss up on if you'll ultimately like it. BUT... there's always a 'but'... stick with it. There is redemption, even if it's nearly the last page.

Don't read this expecting light and fluffy. It reminds of Beautiful Disaster, but for a majority of the book I had trouble finding the beauty part in Eva and Gideon's relationship. It is there. Buried under a mountain of... you know I don't even know what it's buried under, but it's sure hidden. Really well.

It's an emotional roller coaster, made me want to nearly swear off alpha male books for a while... but the end. It makes EVERYTHING worth it. EVERYTHING. I found it well written, and the intricacies of the plot and Day's ability to redeem all of that was amazing. There was only one minor, probably personal dislike - shattered and shredded. Those particular two words were repeated far too often for my liking. There were more 'catch phrases' that were repeated, "rinse and repeat" and "revise and revisit" and I had no problem with those. Like I said- it was likely just a personal 'thing' of mine.

If you like broken characters, trying to find love and romance (and lot of sex) with a really well woven plot and a roller coaster ride for your emotions- the buck stops here. Get the book, read it all the way through, and you too will see how amazing it is. I really didn't think I'd like it, even 80% through the book, but trust me. By the end, you'll be clamoring for book 3 and smacking yourself for not 'seeing' everything sooner.

I read an Amazon Kindle copy

Did you find Eva hard to like in this one? Because she pissed me off quite a bit in this one but you're right the ending was definitely worth it.

Yes, I really didn't like her in this book. Especially the limo scene.

She kept pissing me off with her "trust me, tell me" whine over and over. I thought she of all people would have been more understanding to the fact that there was some things he wasn't ready to share yet. I mean what more did she want he was spending every minute of his spare time with her, he was cutting his work day to spend even more time with her, and all he asked for was for her to trust him and to give him some time....WTF!!! I'm hoping Eva doesn't annoy me in the next book. And her room mate pissed me off to. I mean he was the very last person who should have been giving advice or judging Gideon.

And what happened to the confrontation with Cary? They supposedly went on their trip to talk about that and pretty much nothing was said

I did. I'm not an Eva fan.

Exactly.

I love Cary though. Sorry. Gideon although loveable is a really flat character, totally one dimentional.
