I think this is just one book in the romance genre which was nice, but not anything special. I also believe in occasionally reading outside of your genre too.

I read romance and loved Outback Flames and Outback Fever by Suzanne Brandyn. As for the ums, I didn't have trouble reading the few there were. It is very strange you reviewed a romance when you don't read them. I'm on Goodreads. I haven't got many accounts but you can find me under Tam Berry. I think a reader has to read that genre to enjoy these types of novels.

Sometimes I don't mind ranty ones, but then I can't stand them and would much prefer a lukewarm read. And then sometimes I don't want lukewarm ones as well.<br /><br />But I feel like the less forgettable, the better, and even bad books are memorable.Olivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964812786330789100.post-51248641017897173862015-07-04T12:39:37.121+02:002015-07-04T12:39:37.121+02:00There are too many books like this as far as I am ...There are too many books like this as far as I am concerned. I went along for a long time reading books that I enjoyed well enough and then one day it dawned on me that I couldn't describe hardly any of them after I put them behind. After that epiphany, I stepped up my game and am reading less books that are forgettable. Of course they slip in every now and again, but still... I would almost prefer a book that I hate over one that is lukewarm. At least it gives me something to rant about. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964812786330789100.post-558369087563026152015-07-03T20:52:27.274+02:002015-07-03T20:52:27.274+02:00Saving yourself would definitely be a very VERY go...Saving yourself would definitely be a very VERY good idea.

I enjoyed it, so I do find the setting of this book intriguing. Like you, I have a pet peeve about the rush to the serious "I love you I can't do without you" although I have only been knowing you a month.
