The beginning of this book was really good it had a lot of funny parts that started to give me high hopes for it. There is a part where the lead guy "Liam" thinks a little girl "Natalie" is the French invading his room to try and kill him, good stuff. Liam was to shy and awkward for me, but he was endearing; I just like my men to be a little darker. I know, I know it is meant to be more of a light hearted book.
I don't know if anyone else has read this book, but for me the "punish me" sex scene came out of nowhere! I think I even said outloud "wtf". (Well not wtf I actually said the words, but for my fourth blog entry it seems a bit crass to type f***. I have the mouth of a sailor so I am trying to go as long as possible w/out cussing on here.) Did anyone else feel this scene was out of place?
The main female lead "Ellie" oh I hardly knew ye! I just didn't feel connected to her until the last hundred pgs or so of the book.
I kind of lost interest a little more than halfway through the book. Like I said there were some funny scenes: Liam shooting the goose in Hyde Park, and his general thoughts about how the English acted.
I started to really get back into the book w/ the truth and consequences scene, I liked Ellie's thoughts as everyone stared at her. She asks Liam "Have you ever been in love?" He answers "Never" I gasped outloud but then Liam answers "Until recently." Whew!
I also liked the notes Liam writes to his mom, one of the last ones he writes about how women "steal your heart and your kilt" people who read the book will appreciate the kilt part!
By and by it had its funny moments but alas not a keeper; but I did get a good quote from it.
