Review Courtesy of Dark Faerie Tales
Quick & Dirty: A book of tasty treats.
Opening Sentence: Damon Torrence believed in a lot of things.
The Review:
Melt Into You is a bittersweet, pun absolutely unavoidable, tale of love, not unlike the traditional storyline of an addict and the woman who has loved him and always will love him, secretly anyway. And by addict I don’t mean the drugaholic type, I mean addicted to the high life – the fast money, faster cars and even faster women. And, as an added...more

Parue aux éditions Milady Romance depuis le 18 janvier 2013, Coeur fondant est une petite gourmandise parfaite pour oublier les rigueurs de l'hiver !
Si j'ai pris beaucoup de plaisir à suivre les échanges "électriques" de Damon et Natasha, j'ai bien failli ne pas poursuivre ma lecture au-delà du premier chapitre ! Je n'avais pas tourné 10 pages que déjà j'assistais à une scène compromettante !

I am trying to understand what I have missed in this novel since I’m so unhappy with it. I don’t mind allowing the author to make me stretch my disbelief. However, the point that this author forces the issue makes me feel like overly stretched taffy. I am ready to snap.
When Natasha steps into the office of her new boss for the very first time, she finds him in a very compromising picture on top of his desk with a woman who was supposed to be interviewing him. So Nata...more

When I started reading this book, I thought it it was pretty much 3 stars for me. The time-skip became annoying, the characters became frustrating, and for the life of me, I couldn't see what Natasha saw in Damon.
He was irresponsible, slept with any remotely attractive female he came across, and constantly took advantage of Natasha's kindness. Needless to say, in the beginning, the hero did not endear himself to me. Even more so when the heroine had always (irritatingly so), found the heart in h...more

Rating 3.5/5
I have to admit as I started this book, I was ready to give it a very low rating through the first handful of chapters. It did not start out well and I had a very hard time liking our main character, Damon. He's a playboy millionaire that goes through women and drink like that. My dislike for him was so great, I was ready to give this book a DNF just to be done with him.
But the saving grace of it all is that it's a Lisa Plumley book and I've enjoyed some of her books previously and w...more

Après avoir sauvé les fesses (et rêvé à leurs propos) de son démon de patron pendant des années, Natasha démissionne. Peu importe qu'elle ne puisse plus manger tout le chocolat qu'elle veut, peu importe qu'elle ne puisse plus avoir tous les jours les yeux sur ce magnifique spécimen masculin qui fait vibrer des endroits interdits chez elle. Damon (son patron qui porte si bien son nom) a été trop loin dans sa dernière bêtise pour qu'elle puisse le sauver, et sa soudaine prise de conscience empêche...more
I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this book until its final pages. I found myself frustrated with Natasha's weakness in regards to Damon's shenanigan's. He was a player of the worst sort who had a serious "All fun and no work" complex. What helped me continue reading and glad that I did was the humorous situations that Damon repeatedly finds himself getting into. And he so rightly deserved.

I wasn't crazy about the beginning, I really liked the middle, and again, not crazy about the end. Her writing style threw me off a few times too with her...
Repetative use of repetition...
I love that you....I love that you...I love that you over and over in the same paragraph. I realize that this is used by the character as emphasis for the depth of their feelings, but to use it over and over again, kind of irritating.

This book was a little far fetched but it really is just a good time read. It doesn't take much to read through this book and if your looking for smiles this a great book to do that. It will keep you smiling with Damon's wild antics and Natasha's easy manner. She's a bad girl in a librarians clothing.
I don't really have much to say about this book because it wasn't the kind of book that you ponder or for hours after, it's what I call a feel good read, you read it and it gives you something fun...more

Totally Did NOT finish this one....it's 288 pages I gave up at 164 I couldn't stand 100+ more pages of this...not only is the man thoughtless,tactless and any negative form of -less there is, he is also a complete an utter moron..and so is everyone else..well the dog and the kid are OK but that's all...
I think this is one of the worst DNF books I've tried to be honest

I picked up this book (or more like temporarily stole it from my friend since she reads slow and she stole my kindle first) because a friend had bought it for a travel book. That is just what it is. A quick, easy read that has is humorous for the most part and witty. However 2/3 through, it falls flat. I wanted it to end quickly, but seemed to continue onward.
3.5 stars for me.
I was drawn to this book by the chocolate theme, but it's really more of a 'discovering yourself' book. Damon is not your typical hero. He starts off like a spoiled, self-centered, party boy, and only after he's lost almost everything does he start to mature. He's harmless, but very much a boy for the first half of the book. When he starts trying to prove himself to Natasha, then he grows up. Even after that point, I kinda thought Natasha could do better.

I enjoyed this book. It was funny and fast-pased. However, I had a hard time connecting to the characters. It's as if the characterization was sacrificed for the humor. Still a nice light read.
It was funny and charming. Damon felt a little childish though! I loved Natasha, she is my kind of girl! the writing was amazing too! I got into the story from the first page.
I think my favorite thing about this one was that it was set in San Diego, and the main character was a UCSD grad. Go tritons.
It was a fast fun read.

Just finished and working voraciously writing my review to have up at RCJR eZine by tomorrow. Here is a little teaser. I LOVED MELT INTO YOU!!!
A soap opera, and not a fun one to read. I gave it 2stars because it was readable.
La seconde partie est trop longue.
This was a fun, funny, light romance.
Loved it can't wait for Wes's book
In the beginning, both the guy and girl seemed a bit immature for their ages. Especially Damon. I found him too childish and sappy. But he definitely grew a spine towards the middle, and he owned up to his party-ful past by the end.
Not my favorite, but the humor and chemistry, as well as the minor characters--like Natasha's innocent son, or Damon and Natasha's supportive friends, Amy and Mark -- were enough to keep me interested.
