what did you think of first comes marraige?
I gave it 3 stars, I didn't like it that much, but I didn't think it was bad per se either. I found both the main characters slightly irritating though and didn't really think that they "fit" together. The best this about the books were Con and I liked Meg, everyone else was slightly vague or boring!Did you like it?

Con's story just came out and i'm going to buy it on ebook. Con is my favorite of all the huxtables just sucks his book came last.
Katherine's story is next isn't it? I am glad Con gets his won book, he was definately the best character. maybe she did his last to encourage people to read the other ones! It wasn't too bad I suppose, but not something I would ever read again or buy, luckily I got mine from the library! I am in the mood for ome HR though so I am now reading The Perfect Wife, it i funny aswell, so it is keeping mr happy!

Yes Katherine is next, then Meg then Stephen. I think i might do the library thing instead for Con's. although I think he is the best of all of them, i've probably put enough money into the series! i'm considering moving mary balough from my list of favored authors.
That is why I love the librarym you can read things that you don't really want to buy, but still want to read. That is the only book I have read from Mary Balogh, I have heard that she has better books/series, so I might read those instead.

You sound like royalty what with all your names Melanie.
Lol yeah, Yvonne is totally royal...not:-) I have my grandmother's name, my great-great-aunt's and my godmother's names:-D but at least I have a lot of book choices:-)
Lol... aliases to give to the annoying guy breathing down your neck on a girls' night out:-)
