And Trevor, Ohhhh. From all her heroes, he is my favorite (Ian is my second choice) He is just so caring and simple and cute. I really want a real Trevor in life :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995041336775121608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861127753744077469.post-29835511827088527392012-06-12T20:42:17.336-04:002012-06-12T20:42:17.336-04:00Thank you Lady in Red, that's the best thing y...Thank you Lady in Red, that's the best thing you can say a reviewer (albeit a not so frequent one).

It’s the same formula, quirky heroine, brooding hero (although in this case he is more in the crazy-OCD category…), a dog and of course, the dysfunctional family. But it’s also 3rd person multiple POVs so that’s a change, this one was more contemporary romance than chick-lit. <br /><br />I can’t wait to see what everyone thinks about the new book…Briehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694232807189281284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861127753744077469.post-64931699048897715552011-10-18T10:41:06.547-04:002011-10-18T10:41:06.547-04:00Oh, oups ^_^; I didn't realize there was more ...Oh, oups ^_^; I didn't realize there was more than one contributors to the blog. <br /><br />All I Ever Want is her new release this month, right?nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861127753744077469.post-58892151736297012632011-10-17T18:47:08.995-04:002011-10-17T18:47:08.995-04:00Hi nath!

I didn’t write this review but thanks anyway… I have read all of Higgins’ books and yes, this is definitely one of the best although I didn’t love it as much as Marie did. My favorite was All I ever Wanted, I really could relate to the heroine of that book and it was hilarious.<br /><br />Thank you very much for visiting, I really hope to see you again and I’m glad to see that more people are discovering our little blog!

To be perfectly honest I didn’t like it as much, but it is quite different from her usual books because we get the hero’s POV!Briehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694232807189281284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861127753744077469.post-39122417093078393712011-10-17T14:37:15.139-04:002011-10-17T14:37:15.139-04:00Hi Marie! :)

I've read all of them so far except for this one and <i>Fools Rush In</i>, but I do have both of them so it is just a matter of timing before I get to them. I'm anxiously waiting for her newest which comes out in just a week, I think! I've read some pretty good ARC reviews! Can't wait!!! :) <br /><br />I particularly liked your observation about Ms. Higgins' stories: <br /><br /><i>Sometimes you read a story that inspires you without you even knowing it; this was one of those times.</i> <br /><br />So true!!! I think all of her books do this to me somehow.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861127753744077469.post-28048829095725729152011-10-14T18:20:46.206-04:002011-10-14T18:20:46.206-04:00Great review!

Very good books, some better than others, but in general if you like contemporary romantic comedy and chick lit, this is a must-read author.Briehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694232807189281284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861127753744077469.post-28859266598005201412011-10-13T14:02:00.297-04:002011-10-13T14:02:00.297-04:00A story that cn pull out all those emotions has to...A story that cn pull out all those emotions has to be good.
