There was a little grievance I had almost at the end, but that in no way has diminished the joy I had in reading it. I found the series well written and some of the stories I liked more than the others, but one character stands out more than any other and that's Villiers. In order for you to get the scope of the character of our duke, you'll have to start from book one and follow through to the end, as the duke is one of the most common denominators throughout the series. If you love solid, well written and fast paced stories that will engage all your senses, than look no further, but I warn you. But what made this story so god to me, were two things, Villiers's six children and a dialogue between every character that is written to perfection. ![]() ![]() This story has everything I love in romance, from an awesome hero to a wonderful heroine, a host of great characters, plenty of humor and a romance filled with sensuality to curl your toes. I should have known that the best story in this series would come at the end of it. ![]() ![]() ![]() After writing hundreds of commercials, dozens of TV shows, a play (Squabbles), and a feature film (Just Looking) Karp fulfilled a lifelong fantasy by killing the people he worked with in Hollywood. ![]() He created "Everything's Relative," a CBS comedy starring Jason Alexander, moved on to become writer/producer for the NBC hit, "Amen," then served as writer/co-executive producer for ABC's "Baby Talk" starring George Clooney, and NBC's "Working It Out," starring Jane Curtin.

I was also irritated when people tried to talk to me when I was reading - always a sign that a book has my full attention. I did NOT fall asleep when reading it in bed (as I do with almost everything lately), and I read the whole thing in 2 days. I found When to be the most fast-paced, engaging book that I've read in several months. Yeah, same premise.īut Leila Roy (who had also read Numbers) called When "entirely entertaining" anyway, and I decided to give it a go. This knowledge eventually gets her into unwitting trouble with the law, even though she is just trying to help people. At some point in her childhood she has figured out that the numbers are the dates that people will die. In both books, a teenage girl has spent her life seeing a set of numbers whenever she looks at people. I resisted reading Victoria Laurie's When because the premise seemed to similar to that of another book I had already read ( Numbers by Rachel Ward). ![]() |
