I ususally love this series and have no problem getting into any of her books, but this one is giving me trouble.  Has anyone else had this problem??  Is it worth the frustration of the beginning pages?

i read it recently, and i didn't particularly like it and did feel like i was slogging through it instead of it being a nice quick read like usual.  normally i like the series - which you could proably guess since i'm reading book 11 - but this one just didn't work for me.  as far as i was concerned, there wasn't ever any real connection between him & her.

i'd probably recommend passing on it if you're not getting into it, except that maybe some of this stuff will get mentioned later.  though i think she does a decent recap each time of characters who pop in from previous books, so hopefully that wouldn't be an issue.

I read it and I agree, it's not nearly as good as the rest of the series.  I'm hoping for better with the next one,.

I love her series also but was very dissapointed in thr last two books. Born to be Wild was ok but I didn't even finish Prince Charming Dosen't Live Here. I held off on buying this book cause I was afraid it woud be as bad as the last two. Bummer. Hopefully she can make a come back!

I am struggling to get thru this book!  I am waiting for Rafe & Tess.   I have it from Ellora Cave in e-book format and just love it.   I did like Born to be Wild, but also didn't  like Prince Charming.  Of the original friends, I really only liked Regina & Missy.  LOVED Big Bad Wolf with Missy & Graham.....................heart
