She does not give our people much credit for our dichotomy. They are conservative stereotypes and she plays on the ignorance of readers to go along with her ideas.

It felt like too much filler in the front, but it got better. I have heard good of the book so it might be my mood and not the book's fault. <br /><br />I too like the cover - very common here in the south!maggie moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02462439415973311990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20112247.post-73813899507573241122009-09-21T11:12:57.527-05:002009-09-21T11:12:57.527-05:00I also loved the cover and thought it looked like ...I also loved the cover and thought it looked like a fab read. But I guess never to judge a book by its cover ;-)<br /><br />I am not much into romances either, although I guess I can be persuaded to read one once in a while.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04041866872571178817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20112247.post-15495436425893975282009-09-17T17:15:39.419-05:002009-09-17T17:15:39.419-05:00I love making people smile Tiffany!

One pe...Thanks Stacy! I'm still scrubbing! ;D <br /><br />One person I know has already said they liked it and Amazon readers have been generous with 3 and above stars. You might enjoy it, and I might be in some reading slump. <br /><br />I don't like very many romances (I call it the easy pickings of handsome men/women acting poor but are rich as all get out characters) that ask me to suspend my belief of real life. But, then again, I am reading fiction and make believe is the point.<br /><br />I feel like a panel member of a reality show that asks me to act either <i>very</i> negative or <i>very</i> postive when all along I am indifferent.<br /><br />In short - Ya might just like this book! ;Dmaggie moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02462439415973311990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20112247.post-3710911728962047572009-09-16T22:21:09.577-05:002009-09-16T22:21:09.577-05:00The cover and the title had such promise!
