The connection between our two main characters from early on caught my attention and I even liked their bedroom scenes which seemed to lean more towards the erotica end of things, and that isn't my favourite thing, though I must admit that after the first few scenes I got a bit fed up of the dirty-talk and just skimmed the rest of them.
As for the romance aspect I liked how it was light and easy to read. I just wish we'd had some sort of explanation for why he acted like he did, though since it's in three parts I'm sure it'll come to light in the next book.
I would be interested in continuing the series at some point.

It was very difficult for me to not finish this in one sitting. However, like an exquisite meal, each "morsel" I read was to be savored! Do yourself a favor and get this book! Your heart, and your Soul, will be most grateful indeed!

Then I did a bit of research, and discovered that it depends upon how (and what) you are counting as a Biggles story/book - see http://www.biggles.info/
Perhaps, then, it would be better to say that this is the earliest set of any I have read.
Published in 1935, this is (apparently) a collection of 12 separate short stories, all of which are loosely linked together and follows some of Biggles earlier exploits.
I realise I'm not the target audience for these (I'm now too old). I don't care: sometimes it's nice just to re-live your childhood!

Considered not finishing it several times. Especially when the premise was bent to the writers will just for the plot. Can't believe this is a series.
Something about Cassie felt wrong, she didn't feel like a girl to me and if I'd have read the book without the characters name, I would have thought she was male. Her monologues were dreary and sappy.
At least my short foray into sci-fi had once again proven I don't like this genre.

Short, sweet and fun. There's a lot packed in to this heartwarming story. From long-term friendship, self-love and a beautiful relationship, all the way to conquering Everest. Following Cindi through her journey was a great experience, little things felt like I could really relate to her. She's kind and compassionate with insecurities that almost everyone has from time to time. Luckily she has her best friend Tara by her side. They make a great pair, thought the chemistry that they're both hiding makes Cindi blush up a storm!!
Two characters well written and supported by some equal fun and interesting other characters, makes for a nice cozy afternoon read. Worth having some chocolates to hand for this one.
