I don't know (view spoiler)[ Hero yet and I'm sure I'm going to love her. It's less about the character, but more about the ideal of true love (hide spoiler)]

[Lauren]

(view spoiler)[Hero is Jarvis's daughter. In book #1, she is the girl that Sebastian kidnaps in order to escape Jarvis's house after their confrontation.

I understand that ideal but Kat is not it, lol! What she and Sebastian have is not true love, IMO (hide spoiler)]

[Jonetta]

Do you know how tempting your spoilers are??? *walking away*

[Jonetta]

Oh, by the way, my book had a preview of what I thought would be the next book but wasn't. (view spoiler)[It was about a pregnant Hero. Is that who you're talking about? That made me happy. (hide spoiler)]

[Tracey]

Not looking, not looking.....

[Jonetta]

Okay, I looked at Lauren's message #52.

(view spoiler)[Can I tell you how excited I am at the prospect of Sebastian/Hero versus Kat? I really didn't like her and it was depressing to think I'd need to get used to her as his love interest. I like Hero, what little we saw of her. Yippee! Best news ever (hide spoiler)]

[Maria Rose]

having read the first 6 or so books in the series a few years ago ( and looking forward to this reread!) my advice would be to go into each book without reading the blurbs or reviews if you can so that key plot points don't get spoiled for you. Because there are some real surprises along the way.

[Jonetta]

Thanks for that advice, Maria Rose.

[❆ Crystal ❆]

Thanks for letting me know as I usually do read ahead. :-)

I've read the entire series and I have two comments - one, this is not a "romance" series so there isn't the typical H/h fall in love and a HEA at the end of each book. Second, I think you will be thrilled to see what's going to happen - and how it happens - with Sebastian's love life!!!

So true! I al..."

Jonetta, you are going to be so happy!

[Lauren]

Maria Rose's advice is excellent - stay way from the blurbs if you don't want earlier books to be spoiled!

YES!!!

[Kris (My Novelesque Life)]

I finished this book a half an hour ago and liked it. It's now time for bed so will join discussion tomorrow.

I looked at spoilers and (view spoiler)[I am so glad to hear about Hero. I was wondering if she might have a bigger role as the scene between her and Sebastian was great! And we got some teaser info about her that we hadn't with others.<\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

Great point Kris. I think that Harris was (view spoiler)[already considering Hero for a larger role as early as this book (hide spoiler)]

[Tracey]

I need to join in the discussion as well! Just haven't had a chance to sit in front of a PC to do them. Find it much easier that way then doing them on the iPad.

Thanks Lauren. Like you I am happy Harris went that direction.

Yeah I prefer answering the questions on the PC too.

[Jonetta]

I'm the exact opposite! Much prefer my iPad:)

Don't you find the keyboard a little clumsy to work with?

[Jonetta]

Nope! I'm so used to using it on a regular basis that it's second nature. Plus, my hubby got me an iPad Pro for my anniversary and it has a full keyboard.

[Lauren]

Jonetta wrote: " Plus, my hubby got me an iPad Pro for my anniversary and it has a full keyboard."

ooooh! Pretty!

[Jonetta]

New toy!

[Lauren]

I know what I want for my birthday... of course, by then there will be something newer and shinier....

[Jonetta]

Lol! I hadn't even heard of this one. My reaction was mixed because it looked like a laptop, which made no sense.

[Lauren]

This is the first I've heard of it as well ... I really cannot justify getting it any time soon as I have an iPad and an iPad mini. I am such a gadget addicts!

[Tracey]

Ha ha ha! Know that feeling Lauren...

I am thinking of upgrading my tablet to an android so that I can use the Swype functionality. Love that feature on my phone and I miss it so much on the iPad! I would then probably do more typing on the tablet.

[Kris (My Novelesque Life)]

Very envious, Jonetta even though I have no clue what it is, lol. New iPads are always sound good.

now see, It was so long ago that I read this that I can't remember which characters show up in which book (trying not to spoil anything here!). Now I definitely need to be on the lookout.

That's a huge spoiler! I'm surprised they put that at the end of book 1!!

As was I! It's a library copy, too. But, it made me happy:)

I don't understand why the publisher didn't put a teaser for book 2...really dumb move on their part!!

[Jonetta]

It was positioned by the author as, "my next book," which was apparently at the time the eBook edition was created. I just assumed that was book #2. Didn't even look at the title.

Crazy decision by the publisher. Maybe it was Freudian.

So words of wisdom to all of you out there - don't read the teaser for the next book at the end of the one you are reading, in case it's not actually the next book!!

[Charlene]

Are we still on the book discussion, or is that another thread? I'm a bit confused.

[Jonetta]

Charlene, that's in the book discussion group.

When I binge read a series or it's been awhile - I am the same way Maria...I know what happened but not what book.

I did the same thing and learned the same thing as you! I read your spoiler from message #49 and I agree. But then again... (view spoiler)[I'm not yet 100% sold on Kat, so I think I will be okay. (hide spoiler)].

[Monica]

Okay, I'm sucker for spoilers and I am so looking forward to seeing these characters progress! (view spoiler)[I love Hero. I loved her from her first intro. (hide spoiler)]

[Monica]

I feel like we're talking in code with all these spoiler alerts, lol.

[Lauren]

Monica wrote: "I feel like we're talking in code with all these spoiler alerts, lol."

Lol!

Re your spoiler in post #88 - (view spoiler)[Kat never grew on me and I also loved Hero from the first moment. She REALLY doesn't like Sebastian and there is nothing quite like a love/hate relationship to make a couple more entertaining! (hide spoiler)]

[Tracey]

Do you know how hard it is not to look :-) Anyway else not looking or am I the only one?

New toy was good enough for me!

[Veronica]

Hello! I just joined this group because posts about this series kept popping up in my newsfeed (through Lauren). I love this series and I love discussing it whenever the opportunity arises. I'll join in as soon as I can figure out how all the discussion threads work, lol.

Yay! Welcome Veronica...

I just finished and gave it 4 fun stars. I enjoyed very much and am looking forward to the next book in the series.

I'm not looking either. I already found out one thing accidentally that I did not want to know!

I didn't visit the thread till I finished and then read the spoilers, lol

[Sunny]

Hi Veronica! Great to see you here! Welcome to this group! You know, I've read all your reviews of this series.

[Veronica]

Thanks, Tracey!

Hi Sunny! I saw you and Lauren were here so I had to come over. :-) And I always try to convert people to this series.
