"Cafuzzled" is a great word! ;) Ye...Kav,<br /><br />"Cafuzzled" is a great word! ;) Yes, it did seem odd that big events were skipped over, and even little events appeared to be cut short at times (with interesting chapter endings), if that makes sense. That would make sense if it was the edits, although it's a bummer that we didn't get to experience more romantic tension, as you noted in your review! <br /><br />I agree that it's an enjoyable story overall, though - and there's a lot about Charlotte's back story (and possible new love interest with a "co-worker"??) that is left to be revealed!<br /><br />I love your reviews, your consistent focus on the positive, and your generosity to fellow bookworms - and I appreciate your kind words about my reviews, as well! :) Thank you for all you do!<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-14803762766533845712012-05-17T06:25:09.125-06:002012-05-17T06:25:09.125-06:00Oh -- Amber -- I felt the same thing about some of...Oh -- Amber -- I felt the same thing about some of those scenes that weren't!!!! One in particular that was so important to Lucy and do some conniving on her part to make happen. I really anticipated that scene would be the building of a connection between Will and Lucy...but it was cut out. I'm sure it had to be edits because the author had to have written such a scene! Anyhow, it totally cafuzzled me!<br /><br />I did enjoy the book though -- the vivid historical detail, Lucy's giving heart, the mysterious Charlotte. I'm looking forward to reading her story in the fall!<br /><br />Great review, as always.Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-54933957636265331702012-05-15T13:26:51.558-06:002012-05-15T13:26:51.558-06:00Amanda,

I like the idea of putting that old-photograph type background behind the heroine/model in her lovely dress. :) And yes, I definitely agree about the covers getting better and better! It's a treat to just look at the books before you even open them, LOL!<br /><br />I'm glad you liked the review, and I'm honored one of my reviews would be the one to break the "dry spell"!<br /><br />Yep - I'm big on romance, too! ;) But even though it didn't completely work for me in this book, it was still a good story, and I still liked the hero. :)<br /><br />Thank you for stopping by!<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-14513511904212002562012-05-15T09:09:50.820-06:002012-05-15T09:09:50.820-06:00Wow, this cover is beautiful - almost looks like a...Wow, this cover is beautiful - almost looks like a dvd movie cover! They are making them better and better. Great review, Amber! Gosh, it's been so long since I've read (and written!) a book review - happy I broke the dry spell with one of yours ;-) Too bad the romance fell flat. Truthfully, romance is 85% of the reason I read fiction! ;-) But it sounded like a nice story. Thanks for sharing your thoughts :-)<br /><br />Blessings,<br />AmandaAmanda Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16372107574684016349noreply@blogger.com
