I'm not talking the over-arching elements, I mean the essentials - like motives. <br /><br />Good review, though!Patrick J.

I'm very glad that I already have Linger on my Kindle :-) There is something very special about Maggie's writing!Magemandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08986754628836562869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463395374040679379.post-80952200658373268192011-11-01T11:44:11.802+00:002011-11-01T11:44:11.802+00:00Those answers are given in the following books :) ...Those answers are given in the following books :) <br /><br />The prose is lovely I agree, there is something in the way she writes - like it's more important what isn't said / done, rather than what is.speculatefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11577721682906192507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463395374040679379.post-35907213530786154672011-11-01T11:32:52.468+00:002011-11-01T11:32:52.468+00:00I think she was holding off so that those question...I think she was holding off so that those questions would be answered in later books, but do I think she should have given more hints in the first one. <br /><br />I did love the prose as well and I thought the romance was sweet. I didn't think Grace's love was too unrealistic. Maybe it's a little rushed, but most romances in these sorts of books are. They have a bit of background with him saving her life earlier on, and he is a nice guy and good to her. He is also wild and free when he's out in the woods as a wolf, which contrasts to Grace's life with her absent parents and homework, and maybe that draws her to him as well.<br /><br />Nah, they didn't stay with me, but they are engrossing reads and I really enjoyed them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
