I never even bothered to try and read book 2 or 3 Book 1 was far to funny and I just couldnt take it serious!!
Its a shame I ended up DNF the movie lol But not really I got a few good laughs.

I love Ellen and I was cracking up at her reading. Thanks for sharing.
I am finally starting

Yeah, if there's not something significant to make this unique I'm not going to be impressed. I really am just curious to see how she handles the male POV since it's SO different personality-wise from Ana, this may be a train wreck! LOL
Mod
It's good but books set in Romania always crack me up. I'm Romanian so it just makes me laugh the way authors describe the country and people."Oh I love this series!!
Mod
Oh wow, really? Well, it'll be a plane flight for me either way, so when I do go it'll be a big trip regardless. Hopefully some day we'll be at a signing together!

That's the thing, nothing changes and I'm always thinking, "hey, I've just read this." hehe

I'll wait to hear what you think before I even think about reading it lol
Mod

and nothing has happened so far. Every chapter is one or the other character pining over each other. Saying how neither is good for each other, that the other just wants to be friends, etc. I'm usually ok with this, but nothing else has really happened and it's a bit boring. This is my second Glines book. I wasn't impressed with The Vincent Boys, so perhaps she just isn't for me? Oh and there's one chapter that all the guy POV talks about is sex and "fucking" or "did you fuck her". The work is used 4-5 times in that chapter. WTH?

I think who done it really well was Colleen Hoover with Hopeless and Losing Hope. That really worked for me. Same with Heather Topham Wood's Falling For Autumn series. But yeah, it's rare.

Vlad is awesome. And I know what you mean when you read books set where you live. I live in the deep south (in the US) and when non southern people base a story there, it's highly entertaining. We seriously do not say "y'all" in place of everything.

You must have gotten a kick out of the Beautiful Creatures series then. That book was so over the top with its Southern stereotypes.

Anyway I can't listen to a book set in the south. Talk about stereotype. I understand that we sound country but our language hasn't been that way in 50 years.

I haven't read any of her recent stuff, so I can't say anything about those, but she's always been one of those authors whose work I loved, but I knew it was cheesy or overly dramatic dialogue/character narration for a good part of the story. Sorry this one isn't appealing to you, either, maybe just put it aside and go to one of your go-to authors!

I'm not from the South but I lived in Northeast Florida for a few years where there is a definite Southern vibe.

Oh yes CoHo is the queen of when it comes to writing the same story from a different POV.

Same for me Sylvia! Anna and the French Kiss is my favorite in the trilogy even though all 3 are very good.

Oh Tracy you totally should get to the BB books soon they're super funny, hot, and very well written. The audios are fantastic too. I've loved all of the books from these authors for both their series.
