I have to agree with Mandi, for me, I thought something was missing. It's great that it was focused on internal conflicts and I think that Ms Mayberry does that very well, but I don't know... I feel it could have been more. I also feel like things were forgotten such as Mackenzie's therapy and so on. Will still pick up Ms Mayberry's next book though :) hopefully, it comes out soon!nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861127753744077469.post-48257321302868821682013-01-09T21:42:19.895-05:002013-01-09T21:42:19.895-05:00I was wondering which one of her books to read nex...I was wondering which one of her books to read next, and now I know. I do like a quiet story, one that takes its time developing. This sounds good!

Partly it was because I noticed some things only people who work in my industry would notice I think. Not at all a big deal for other readers but a little jarring for me. Still, I did really appreciate that babies weren't an issue in this book and the epilogue wasn't sparkly fertility fairies! :DKaetrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936055488367251592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861127753744077469.post-85077498635383238952013-01-08T21:17:45.987-05:002013-01-08T21:17:45.987-05:00I think it didn't work despite the understated...I think it didn't work despite the understated story, it worked *because* of it.

I'm glad the review was helpful, because that's the point, right? <br /><br />And now I'm honored and feel so special, like I should be wearing a crown or something. <br /><br />I hope you enjoy the book, and when/if you find the time to read it, come back and let me know how you liked it!Briehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694232807189281284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861127753744077469.post-50266020637323266972013-01-08T21:12:58.382-05:002013-01-08T21:12:58.382-05:00I see where you're coming from, which is why I...I see where you're coming from, which is why I wrote that part about some finding it boring. I think that to me, part of why I liked it so much was because it has elements that I'm always wishing to see more of in the genre, and I was engaged from page one. It's a bit like the new Courtney Milan that everyone loved but I didn't; the parts are there, they just didn't work for me and I was ultimately quite bored. But in this case, I had the opposite experience.Briehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694232807189281284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861127753744077469.post-20188083626330345222013-01-08T17:25:40.342-05:002013-01-08T17:25:40.342-05:00A lovable realistic hero?

I've...Hi Brie, I absolutely loved your review. I've never read any Sarah Mayberry, but this one is definitely going on my TBR pile. I particularly liked: the way you desicribed the interesting role reversal; the way you said the Oliver is an ordinary guy yet still someone you could completely fall in love with; the warning that some might find the book boring; and the fact that you wanted to cry with baby-less joy. Great comments that actually told me loads about the book. I'm always looking for romance review sites I can actually relate to (not the "This 5-star book is awesome!" type) and your website on my list of favourites. <br />www.helenafairfax.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861127753744077469.post-13678995922265931972013-01-08T15:04:26.167-05:002013-01-08T15:04:26.167-05:00I’m sure some will find it boring, but to me it wa...<i>I’m sure some will find it boring, but to me it was perfect. </i><br /><br />I fall on the boring side. I mean - I wasn't bored to tears or anything. I had no problem finishing it. But I felt like something was missing in this one. It didn't engage me like her previous booksMandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05164981880837468084noreply@blogger.com
