Plus it's brilliant to hear the romance isn't rushed, but mature and well-paced.

Still, I'm a character girl, so the fact that, Sophie's maturity aside, they didn't leave a huge impression on you is a touch disappointing.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one, Zahida - this is actually the first I've heard of it. I quite like what you had to say about the maturity of the MC!Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-18364421589629591562013-02-26T23:05:29.712-05:002013-02-26T23:05:29.712-05:00I like the premise and I wish the cover was differ...I like the premise and I wish the cover was different. But sometimes I do need an easy read between the more heavy books that I read.

The cover is totally one for romance, but I'm glad to know that's not all it is.<br />Thank you for the review!Maja (The Nocturnal Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14276646316400863181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-1683097540589867762013-02-26T15:51:44.290-05:002013-02-26T15:51:44.290-05:00Johnny was my favorite character too.

When characterisation isn't decent, I find it very hard to get through a book. Great review :)Suzanne (Parabooklover)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06393092365013105173noreply@blogger.com
