Your review has me wavering, but still thinking that I probably won't end up liking this one much better from the sounds of it. Something about her ending bothered me in the first one, along with her main character's temperament. I'm doing an awful job of explaining this...even to myself. :-)Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-47347268154450858832021-09-17T12:48:50.748-05:002021-09-17T12:48:50.748-05:00i hope you enjoy it.i hope you enjoy it.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-73844242612526627612021-09-17T12:26:04.150-05:002021-09-17T12:26:04.150-05:00I want to read it I want to read it R's Ruehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05711563217099699047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-59198168220869442432021-09-17T08:28:55.779-05:002021-09-17T08:28:55.779-05:00I think you would probably enjoy it if you have a ...I think you would probably enjoy it if you have a chance to read it.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-8760265723930557672021-09-17T00:47:32.914-05:002021-09-17T00:47:32.914-05:00I have just missed seeing this on Netgalley and I ...I have just missed seeing this on Netgalley and I am sorry to have missed it.Mysticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10941269615559681014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-16295534153248237102021-09-16T18:15:23.188-05:002021-09-16T18:15:23.188-05:00I wavered a bit over the rating to give this one. ...I wavered a bit over the rating to give this one.
