I really LOVED this book. I've been on a poetry/verse style kick lately so this caught my eye immediately. The flow of the story worked really well and the illustrations added a lot to it. I learned a lot, and I found it hard to put down. I would love to see more like this.
  
Where'd you go, Bernadette. This book was different from What I normally listen to,but I really liked this book. I enjoyed how it was from a daughter's point of view. On a scale from 1 to 10 it is about a 7. An enjoyable book but I will trade it at my local book store for other books.

Um....wow! I need to wrap my brain around this before I write my review. literally just finished. This story completely blew away my expectations! And that's saying a lot! (I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publishers. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone. )

"A classic. Everything is perfect. On top of its incredible cinematography and mise en scène, I think it’s the story that attracts me to it. I love the idea that the hero is a huge asshole. And I cry every time his son falls off of his horse. That’s maybe why I never rode a horse."

I was going to give it 3.5 stars until that bit at the end, which boosted it up half a star--just because I didn't expect it. I can't go into details without ruining it, which would be a shame because I thought it was well thought out and written.

A nice short story with slight BDSM themes.

"OK, Twin Peaks, which isn’t a film, but a TV series. Again, I watched that as a kid, and I just thought it was so weird and wonderful and scary. I just didn’t get it, but I loved the music. It was so, sort of, haunting. I’m putting everything from literally the age of eight to about 12."

I enjoyed this, it was different in many ways. I just wish there'd been a bit more romance. I know there were lots of kisses but I kinda wanted more. I'm happy they got a happy for now ending, so I'm quite content to wait for a while before getting and reading the second book in the series.

I can still remember how excited I got at the end of Split when Bruce Willis surprisingly appeared on screen as his character from Unbreakable, for it was at that moment I knew we now had a trilogy on our hands. Glass was a perfect third edition and I walked out with a huge smile on my face.

<i>One Night for Love</i> was a lovely book, with a touching love story. Yes, I'll admit the story is a little heavy-handed, but Ms. Balogh did a nice job of anchoring it with believable, and likable, characters. I especially liked how she let the heroine be her own person, had her find herself, and had the hero accept her the way she was before any of it! That in itself is unique in the romance genre, in particular in historical (Regency) romances. I felt for everyone - Lily and Lauren, mostly. I'm not sure how I feel going into <i>A Summer to Remember</i> right after this, but hope Mary Balogh can work her magic and I'll grow to love Lauren as I do Lily...just in a different way. :) I know how Lily felt, never feeling like she was home, so I'm glad she was able to become a whole person with a new and extended family.

I honestly wasn’t sure how much I would like this one since I am not yet a mother, so I can’t relate to all the things these new mothers are going through. However, once I started reading it was pretty difficult to stop! There are a lot of real issues that new mothers go through from wanting to appear perfect to feeling like they aren’t good enough. Then there’s a baby that goes missing, a baby from a mommy group the main characters are a part of, and there’s a ton of whodunnit, crime blog searching, amateur detective work going on. You don’t know who is telling the truth or even whose perspective you are reading from. I thought I knew what was going on and thought I was so smart having figured it all out but I was definitely wrong (about pretty much everything!). This was a good, quick read and actually had an ending that is satisfying and doesn’t feel rushed.
