	read in July, 2008 Joni said: "This was a great book to listen to. I have only read the first book in the series, but even that wasn't necessary.

	read in May, 2008 Joni said: "This was a fun, fast, flippy read. Good sex, good romance, terrible plot. Characterization left something to be desired, but it was quite cute. I don't think I'll be looking for another one of her books soon. " add a comment
