graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated The Return of the Earl (Botany Bay, #1) in Books
Feb 15, 2019
<i>The Return of the Earl</i> was an enjoyable book, but I felt that the romance wasn't as developed as it should have been. The first half itself, was incredibly slow and a tad boring, so not until the halfway point was I hooked. I liked both the main characters, but even by the end, I didn't totally believe they were so much in love with each other. If some of the blather and other pointless moments in the first half had been condensed and in it's place some more time with Julianne and Christian, it would have much better. However, I did enjoy the story, even if I did figure out the whole 'scheme' ahead of time, and it was a nice way to pass some time.

Lindsay (1760 KP) rated Secret Son, Convenient Wife in Books
Feb 15, 2018
This books is really different in terms of Romance. I wonder sometimes if the mother Germma was doing something wrong by not telling the father of the baby. She should have told him and let him decide. She was so afraid that see was in a Panic when he showed up at the hospital.
Tate was there for another reason. Germma was more afraid of what Tate would do than wonder if maybe if he was going to take her son away. You will be surpise to learn that all they did for their son and Tate family name along with some other surprises. If you enjoy Romance this is good book to read.

Ivana A. | Diary of Difference (1171 KP) rated The Terminator (1984) in Movies

Amazing classic, amazing action and definitely one of the best movies Arnold Schwarzenegger has made (even though the one with the Kindergarden is my favorite one, and also the one with the twins, with Danny DeVito).
The storyline is amazing, even though it made me think a bit deeper and visit some reddit pages for fan-based theories.
After a discussion with my partner though, we concluded that men mostly enjoy this movie because of (obviously) the action, but for me as a woman, the underrated romance was something that left a big mark and something I really enjoyed.
Forget Romeo and Juliet - this is the romance tragedy you want in your life!

Cyn Armistead (14 KP) rated Hope's Folly (Dock Five Universe, #3) in Books
Mar 1, 2018
As usual, too much romance for my tastes--but the rest made up for it. I keep reading Sinclair's work, even though it is largely romance, because she also has good plots and does a good job with character development. Unlike many authors, each of her main characters is a well-defined individual, not "another good guy" or "another beautiful-yet-insecure woman." There was a touch of beautiful-yet-insecure in Rya Bennton (SUCH an annoying clich@eacute;!), but she got past it.
Some of the things that annoy me the most are, apparently, standard romance memes. Having relationship problems just because nobody will say, "Hey, this is what I want and need, how about you?" is fairly realistic, but I'd love to see SOMEBODY in a book who has grown past that.
Anyway, this was a worthy read, and it does stand alone, but everything will make far more sense if you read the earlier books in the same universe.

I enjoy this era a bit. I kept interest in WWII. I also like the way this book went about differently and how things got complicated between the father and mother of the book. I also like how a romance happened between a white soldier and a black soldier sister. You learn about some of the things going on Civil Rights. You see it though his daughters, their mothers. It really is a good book.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated The Better Part of Darkness (Charlie Madigan, #1) in Books
Jan 8, 2021
Hmm...I enjoyed some bits of this book, others bored me into skipping entire paragraphs. Also the lack of a love interest annoyed me. I like romance in my books and I think Charlie needed a guy in this.
Not sure if I'll be continuing the series.
P.S. Also since this series doesn't seem to be completed, or being completed anytime soon, that has put me reading any more of the books.
