Levi was nothing like Trevor or Eric (Blackstone and Pearson)

Well this was completely unexpected. It's been a long time (or it seems to me) since i've read a novel written by Dani Rene, which was Ace of Harts - which i'm not 100% sure, but may have been her first published novel. Kingston was very different from that first novel i've read of hers, and it showed how she's improved her craft since, which really does show why she's become an author to look out for when it comes to BDSM and erotic romances.

While i may not have given this novella a 5 star, it's still a book that you need to read. That you really should dive in because it's quite interesting and not what i was expecting. Why didn't i personally give it a 5 star review albeit my really liking this story? Well, the fact that i received it as an ARC may have a small impact, and i'm hoping that it was modified in the last stages of the editing - Trevor (the main character in Blackstone by J.D. Hollyfield) was referred to as Travis for at least half of the book and for a long while, i thought i was in the wrong and i kept trying to remember who was who as i read, and that did bother me. For all his 'bragging' at being a kinky man and heavily into BDSM, Levi felt as though he was just the kinky type rather than the BDSM type.

Hold up! No pitch forks please!!! Levi was nothing like Trevor or Eric (Blackstone and Pearson); he was a different kind of man and i'm not sure that anyone else other than this author could have effectively brought his story to life as well as she did. As i did with all the other books in this series (mind you, i read them all in order, starting with Blackstone, Kingston and then Pearson), i read this book in less than 2 hours because i was sucked in completely even with the small hickups.

As part of the Four Father series, it was an amazing book and i honestly look forward to reading more from this author in the future and getting my hands on her full length novel as well.

I anticipated a Pride and Prejudice story set in the current time. The only character that matched up was the male lead whose last name happened to be Darcy

It used to be my wife could count on getting consistent sizing and quality fabric from Levi's. Not so anymore. We purchased two pair of 505's over the past couple of months both size 12L. I measured the waist band on both. One was 2" bigger in circumference than the other! The overall fit is entirely different between the two also. Then there is the material Levi's is now calling denim. My wife has 3 year old 505's that have been washed 150+ times that have more body and weight than these brand new jeans. This second pair is going back.

I will  never read anything by this author again. The historical content was minimal and the mystery plot line, like a Hardy Boys story. The relationships portrayed were like a bad soap opera, and some of the dialogue seemed as if it could have come from old TV shows like Dragnet. Also, the overly descriptive lavatorium passages were totally unnecessary and  juvenile.

Well written book about second chances with some positive life lessons thrown in. I could not put it down. The marketing for this book was completely false. It is nothing like 50 shades at all. If 50 shares is what you are looking for,  this is definitely not your book. Yes,  I would recommend it. A gritty sometimes brutal read.

This is literally the SAME as pll just different order. Even the people have the same physical and personality  discriptions but she changed the names oh yaaaay! Sutton is the equivalent  to Ali. Also there is a new "killer" or "A" every book who is more than obviously NOT just like pll.  I wanted to love it the idea is really cool only Sara Shepard executed it poorly, she is a rip off of her own self . I get having a YA genre but c'mon at least don't use literally the same old material and bank off another title .

There was no back story to go along with the sex scenes, which made it uninteresting. A real knock off of 50 Shades of Gray !!

My levis needed to be replaced and I saw these on sale.  What a steal I thought.  After a couple of months, I'm going back to Levi's.  This specific pair is made of thin, cheap denim.  Instead of having a 'slim cut' these bunch up after little usage to what I'd call dad like jeans.  very disappointed from a reputable name like CK.

I quit buying Levis some years back. I ordered these because they were 30% off and I had some rewards points (basically free jeans). When these arrived I remembered why I quit buying Levis. 1. They don't fit like they used to, the quality of the denim has gone way down, for what these cost you can buy two pair of a better made jean elsewhere. I have worn the same size jeans for 25 yrs, it's not me. Levis have cut corners and changed styles so many times I don't believe they have a clue how to make a good product anymore. I just want a quality product at a fair price, too bad for an American icon.

These Jeans are pure rubbish! Cheap, thin demin that feels like it is made from newspaper pulp. I swear, I think they contain some percentage of newspaper pulp, just so Levi's can cut down on costs. They lose their colors in just a few washes and the fibers start fraying as soon as you wear them. They crush your crotch, they slide down and need to be hiked up every minute. Levi's has obviously been taken over by a Bunch of MBA's with degrees in worthlessness. MBA should stand for Master's in Business Assassination, because that's what they actually accomplish in the end. Look what MBA's did to apple before apple wised up and fired them all. Apple was nearly killed by MBAs! I am frustrated because I cannot find any Jeans that fit on the waist like normal jeans do. I mean, what are these elitist upper management asswipes thinking, that by reducing the rise in their jeans, Men can wear them? We have balls and we do not like crushed nuts. Also, this stupid low rise jean trend needs to die already. What kind of guy likes to have crushed nads, and have his pants hanging off his ass at the same time? I guess American Has become Snookie Stupid, because looking like a douchey asswipe is consider cool.

I've spent months looking for jeans that fit like normal jeans. I went to LL. Bean but all their jeans look like something an elderly man would wear diapers with. I am 30 years old, and I just want normal jeans. Anyone know of any replacement brands for Levi's?

People looking for. Court room Dimas Hardy novel will be disappointed. This story centers more around Glisby than Dimas Hardy and has none of the legal story lines expected in Dimas Hardy novel

SPOILER FREE.I think it was back in faith of the fallen Richard had a conversation with the blacksmith about said blacksmith's apprentice. The blacksmith said something like "I'm hard on the boy because i like him." Well this review is in a similar spirit.

I loved the sword of truth series but this instalment is woefully forgettable. Its difficult to believe this is the same man that wrote the earlier books. It has a singular sub-par plot that trundles along at such a laborious pace it made reading a chore rather than joyful. The opening few chapters held my interest and hopes where high but they got killed off in a hundred page info dump. The story plods along with no twists (unless not having a twist is the twist?) and closes with a few decent chapters but are not satisfying enough given the drawn out slow paced middle of the book. If felt like a prequel for what is still to come rather than a story in its own right. I have bought the sequel "severed souls" but the purchase was made on the previous book in the series and not this one. Had i come to the series in this book, i would never have picked up another Terry Goodkind book and that's disappointing as I'm sure that has been the case with some readers out there. Its for this reason more than any other i declare this instalment as unacceptable.

Unlike the rest of their jeans, the material was very different. Thinner and baggier than their other denim jeans of the same size.

These are the same great 505 levis I've worn for years.  They've left the mens levis as is, using the same heavy cotton denim as always.  My wife is jealous because Levis has ruined the women's selections.  The womens material is that cheap, stripey, purple looking stuff and the waistlines are down near string bikini height.  Levis thinks that all women are young, tall and skinny like their models and they don't notice when cheesy material is substituted for the former heavy denim.  They're wrong.
  The instant that Levis does this to the mens I'm switching to another brand.

The worst one of the series. Awful. The characters were such polar opposites Willa was pure angel like and the Lucky was essentially the devil. I didn't want them to get together and when they did I thought Lucky would have an epiphany and become a different man, a better man. But no he remained a jerk the entire book and Willa was a doormat.

PD James is no Jane Austin. She transformed Austin's beloved characters into insufferable self-centered prigs. Not an enjoyable read.

I read the book and watched the movie and both were terrible!! The characters are never developed, they're just there. Noah and Allie fall in love but it's never described how it happened or when they first felt it. Sparks never describes any of their dates so that we could see how they interacted.

All we know is they meet, they fall in love, parents disapprove, they go their seperate ways, meet again, end of story. That's it, and that's pretty much how it's written.

Characters are introduced that are never spoken of again, such as Sparks describes one of Noah's neighbors that he would occasionaly have dinner with and talk to. But after that paragraph describing him he's never spoken of again. Nor do we ever hear Noah mention him.

This book is incredibly predictable as are a lot of romance novels these days, but most usually offer some sort of twist to it. I suppose that's what the ending was but it wasn't much of one. One could easily guess at the ending. Thats why I said it reads like a grocery list. Two people meet:check. One is from the "wrong side of the tracks":check. Parents disapprove:check. Meet later and fall back in love after each has supposbly moved on with their life:check check. There is some sort of obstacle they must overcome to be together: Check, check, checkout time.

This book could have been a lot better, it's a great idea for a book but isn't written well.
