Didn't love it as much as others

Can you imagine having a crush on your brother's best friend since you were 11 years old? Well Katie did. Even though she is now an adult she still cares for him. She never stopped caring about him and it got pretty intense when she was 15. That's when she started dreaming about him which embarrassed her so much she couldn't even talk to him. So what's a guy to think when a girl won't talk to him? He thinks she can't stand him.

A few events happen to finally make Katie decide to take control of her life and go after the one thing she really wanted - Hunter. After taking a train to his place he wanted to know why she was there.  She can't make him believe she came to see him so he says he will drive her back to the train station on his bike. Instead, Katie goes with Hunter to his friend's cabin to do a quick repair. They get snowed in and let each other know how they really feel.

This was a nice little novella but it didn't have much of a plot. The whole book is basically about this couple having sex in lots of different ways and places.  To me, this isn't a story, it's more erotica.  Disappointing.

Her daydream about Hunter in the first chapter was confusing and annoying.  I get the point that the author wanted the reader to know she had crushed on him for years but it went on way too long.

I really liked Hunter but not Katie so much.  She kept spacing out and fantasizing about him. Nope. Didn't like her. Hunter, on the other hand, was kind, considerate and intelligent. Oh, and hot. His father had been verbally abusive to him as a boy so he had low self esteem. I liked the way Katie helped him to see that the things his father said were not true and others didn't see him the same way his father had.

While this was a wonderful book, it did not keep me as interested as the others. I have read all her books and this was not up to the others.

Not my fav book in the series. I kinda felt like this book was a filler. Yes some main events happen , but mainly I was kinda bored with this book. Love love the others.

I liked this book, but I didn't love it like the rest of the world seems to. In fact, I can't quite figure out why it's so wildly popular. I was interested in learning about the occupation of the Channel Islands, the characters were pleasant enough, but I was still tired of the book halfway through---before I even reached the predictable ending.

More detailed and somewhat educational than other Hetta books.  I didn't like it as much as the others because there was so much history on sunken ships and too much chatting about coins.  It seemed "too much".  It also made me think of the books where the girl goes into the closed and dilapidated mental hospital building looking for the crazed serial killer where you are saying...  "geez don't be so stupid".  However, in a more scuba diving way.  But, it was still a decent Hetta book.  I like to be on "mental vacation" reading Hetta and here I had to get educated.  Also not so much on Jenks this time.  But it was  a little more believable than some of the other books.  The dog had a huge part in the book. It does emphasize to you about life jackets for dogs and I of course learn little bits about boating along the way.  But it was not so much a fun book as the others were.  I'd still recommend it, but Hetta is best read in order even though they are stand alone novels.

I did like this book. I didn't love it like some of the others. I felt that the relationship between the h an H wasn't as hot in their own book as it was portrayed in the last one.  Also the setup for the next couple I felt took away from who I was reading about. I also wanted maybe some more interaction from previous characters that I loved but they were missing.  The plot was very good and interesting and I had to know what was going to happen. So all in all if you like the series you must read it.  But if your looking for hot steamy romance between the h and H I felt they were lacking a little.

I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as the previous books in the series.

I have read every word of the Alexa series, and absolutely adored it. Although I loved getting into Arys head, it wasn't my favorite novels from the series. This won't stop me from reading the next one, but I didn't absolutely love this one as much as the others.

I'm a big fan of the Morganville Vampires series, and I enjoyed Carpe Corpus. However, something about this one just didn't quite click the way the other books in the series have. It took me awhile to really get into Carpe Corpus, but once I did it was a relatively engrossing read.

I didn't love this like some of the other reviewers did.  This is the story of economic change coming to a remote, pre-industrial village, in the form of a new "lord of the manor" with different ideas about how to make the most effective use of the land.  There are themes of insiders versus outsiders, economic change and how it displaces individuals, and the individual versus the collective.  It's beautifully written, and really manages to capture the rhythm and mindset of the pre-industrial era.  But despite the fact that it's not very long, it seemed to drag for me, and I didn't really find myself identifying strongly enough with any of the characters to care deeply about what happened to them, despite some horrific injustice in the treatment of some of them.  It was hard for me to get all the way through this, despite the beauty of the prose.

I agree with a lot of the other reviews that this didn't hold a candle to the others in the series. But the others in the series are AMAZING. So I'm still giving this one four stars, because it shouldn't be compared to the others in the series. It did seem to run a little long, and I just wanted Mara to get over herself. But all in all, a good read.

There are some good moments in this book, but for some reason, I got tired of reading some parts and the compulsions of a Carpathian for his lifemate. Maybe I've read too many of this series because I felt I needed a break after finishing this book. I like this author and some of this series, but this one didn't flow (for me) as naturally as some of the others. However, this is the author's world and she can assign behaviors and expectations to her characters as she wants.

I loved all three books in the Inferno series, so it was nice to see glimpses of Gabriel and Julianne in this book.  Sylvain Reynard writes quite beautifully, just reading the words made me feel like I was in Italy.

That said, I didn't completely love it.  I'm not really a fan of the paranormal genre, but this one does seem a bit more...(grounded maybe?)...than others I've read.  I felt a bit lost/confused at times, and it was hard for my mind to equate Gabriel and Julianne with the paranormal world.  I feel like my review is not making sense, it's hard to explain this!

I wasn't bored reading this and it held my interest enough that I preordered The Raven, and of course I cannot resist seeing more of The Professor and Julianne.

I liked this book very much, but I didn't think it was quite as good as some of  the others in the series. I thought it moved a little slower than I would have liked and didn't have quite as much suspense and action ( although the segment with Brianna,Roger and the kids was intriguing to some degree; I wondered what the purpose was to have this bit in the story other than how it relates to the end of the book ). I am left wondering now if this is the final book in the series, or if it will continue.  I would definitely recommend reading this next installment though...how can you not if you have read all the others!

...I'm afraid I'm not as in love with it as others appear to be. It squishes garlic just fine and with much less effort than my Zyliss, but I don't care for the way the perforated section flips up when you open it back up after the squishing, and it doesn't clean as easily as I thought it would. It works, but I'm still in search of the perfect press.
