Review # 1 was written on 2017-01-29 00:00:00 Cesar Maya Shoot me now! Listened to the CD version. Incredibly dated romance from Tami Hoag. TH is a pretty good writer in regard to romances and an even better writer when it comes to scaring the pants off of you as well as creeping you out with her suspense/thrillers. Deeper Than the Dead, Ashes to Ashes, and especially The 9th Girl WILL CURL YOUR HAIR! This snoozearama left my hair sad and flat. The premise is the h has been in love with her best friend's brother since college. He is a great, big, stupid jerk and has no idea. His mother left him when he was a kid and he saw his father mourn... you know the drill. Once upon a time in Romancelandia it was a FRESH IDEA. Maybe even when this was first written. Who knows. Anyhoo, the H asks the h to marry him 'cause it's time. Kind of reminds me of the scene in Walk the Line when Johnny asks June to marry him because it's time. Her response is sublime... Well I’m telling you with 100 percent certainty that it is not the time. It’s not about time, it’s not the right time, it’s not even quarter to the right time. May I review awesome lines from Walk the Line? Here's another great one... God gave us a great big apple, see, and He said don't touch it. He didn't say touch it once in a while; He didn't say take a nibble when you're hungry; He said don't touch it! Don't think about touchin'it, don't sing about touchin' it, don't *think* about singin' about touchin' it! Okay, I'll stop. So, the h flips out because she wants love, and the big doofus just cain't dew it. That's pretty much the gist of the book. The H respects her; he lusts after her; he enjoys spending time with her; he wants her to be the mother of his children; he wants to grow old with her, but he just doesn't know if he loves her. That last part is said in a Shirley Temple voice. What an idiot. However, Sugah, what dropped my enjoyment even more than the dreadful characterizations of these Virginians is how far off the reservation the narrator got the accents. Being from Texas, I adore accents of all kinds: West Texas, South Carolina, New Jersey, Long Island, Virginia etc. (Okay, I'm leaving east Texas out of it, and if you knew east Texas you'd know why.) There is no one southern accent; there are many. Soo, when the narrator made the H, a native Virginian who owns a stud farm with a world class jumper, sound like this.. instead of this I was very frustrated.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-01-04 00:00:00 Martha Zouzalik The was clearly not the book I expected, and I was disappointed. For one thing, I listened to the audio book, and the fake southern accents drove me crazy. For another, the drama was so forced and ridiculous that I found myself saying, "Oh, come ON!!" many, many times throughout the book. The whole thing was stupid - the plot, the way they treated each other, and even the cussing ("Jiminey Creepers" was the best they could do). Eye roll after eye roll. Don't know what I was thinking.
