Lol. I should just be lazy and post links to my Amazon Listmania I called Wall bangers! My favorite way of taking out my frustration on a bad book.

Not sure if that classifies as a BR, but it is a turkey of the first order.

Unrealistic wall paper setting with a heroine who stamps her feet when she doesn't get her way, and graphic graphic sex.

Had to give up around page 50. Worse drivel than the other one of her's I'd tried.


With dialogue like this why ask for more? "You swept into my life like a raging storm"

Although I think my #1 gawd-awful disaster is this one, The most completely unbelievable set up and historical details along with some very odd sex scenes, including the infamous "whoa...volcano of honey".

I hope I don't get any hate e-mail, but I would have to say one of the worst for me was Ashes in the Wind. This was a 20+ years re-read and I couldn't figure out why I liked it before.

I enjoyed it more than you two did, but hate mail? No way, we can all agree to disagree at times right?

- what Jeanine said. Boring. Creepy.

- yeah, another vote for this one *hugs Tammy* All the details overstayed their welcome and the two halves of the book didn't fit together for me.

- didn't like this one, even though it had all the BR stuff I usually like. It simply wasn't well-written, so I guess that's my beef about it. SJ messed it all up!

LMFAO!!! Made my day with that one! :D

One more.

A dumb, predictable plot with stupid cartoonish villains and to top it all off it's a sequel of sorts to Ransom and do we see much of the original pair from that book? No, we do not and one half of that pair barely gets a pregnant at home mention.

Oh, that's too bad Misfit - I have that book!

Oh she really screwed up Brodick's character IIRC. A mush man in this one.

Ha! Misfit - like it ' a pregnant at home' mention, classic.
