Maritza’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Started first two chapters and liking the writing style and the little sister, she keeps it real.

Team Ginny Weasley joining in. I jumped the gun and read two chapters to see if I might like this book. It seems to have potential so will wait for start date to continue.

Yes Michelle, Gabriel was a hood mix of Sebastian and Evie. The story Evie told of a young Gabriel and the fox really exemplifies the man he turned out to be. Despite Pandora's childhood she still maintained a strong semblence of self. What she was capable of and her Imagined deficiency.

This was also my first time with this author and I must say that it reminded me of Alice Clayton's female characters who just bring a smile to my face. You kind of forget it's a historical romance because the thinking is so modern. I think you will enjoy it.

Characters - Pandora Ravenel, Gabriel Lord St. Vincent, Kathleen, Devon

Wow I loved it, loved it. What can i say I loved Pandora and her free thinking ways. Gabriel for his ability to learn to love Pandora without trying to change her. Her family for their love of each other and his family for being down to Earth. I also would like to go back and read his parents book. Pandor was way ahead of her time in the way she wanted to live her life and am happy that the found the man who would let her spread her wings. A great pick.

I have about 6 BR books borrowed and two BOM. Just need to read them

Sorry guys can’t be announcer. Too overwhelming for me

So we know that Pandora and Gabrielle will end up together but I love their beginning and the fact that he admires her spunk. Pandora is a woman after my own heart. She knows what she wants and is not afraid to voice her opinion. I am hoping he will encourage her in her goals and damned be societal rules. All this from the first three chapters. Love her support system who do not inhibit her eccentricities.

Okay i can do that

Character D.D.Warren, Flora and Rosa, Samuel,Jacob, Lindy

Just finished and was not exactly what I thought. I thought maybe Flora was the one abducting the girls. That was what i thought she told Jacob at the end. Would have like to seen more of Samuel. Can't wait to see more of D.D. and Alex.

If you can tell me what announcers need to do I can possibly volunteer as long as it doesn’t require fast reading

End of ch 30 - okay im thinking there was no entry to her apartment but she left on her own. Hax the pursued become the persuer?

@Morgan - no worries work on you first. GR is intense sometimes but always here.

Just finished ch 16 and I had the same thought as you. Oh no, not again, that would be cruel. What happened before? What has she been keeping to herself and now from us?

Question - my copy of Lilac Girls just came in to library . Can i still get points for May BOM?

Just got my library copy, can I still partake?
