I finished the book and I really liked it

Good stories. I really felt bad for Jules. Looking forward to the other books where he gets his HEA

I know! He always tugs at my heart.

Is there a compelling reason not to post discussions in this group?I enjoy discussions but having to join (and track) another group just seems to add another level of complexity without increasing participation or enjoyment.

I think it has to do with a limit that GR put on creating folders. Jonetta can better explain it.

First I’ll ask if you’ve looked at the format of the discussion questions?
Several of us in the group were members of Shelfari, a site similar to Goodreads though much smaller but much more of an intimate community. They allowed us to have what’s called “nested” discussions where you could track conversations related to one question. You can’t do that here on Goodreads and we’ve found that consequently, book discussions are much less robust and confusing to follow a single conversation thread.
Using the separate group, we’re able to set up each question as a topic and follow each member’s response more easily. It allows for a back and forth that creates a richer discussion.
I invite you to check it out and not let joining one more group be the deterrent. If the discussions weren’t so enjoyable, we’d reconsider this process. But, it has allowed for thoughtful discussions that participants find compelling.
When we do the discussions the way you suggest, I find that it doesn’t progress much further than each member posting one or two comments about whether they liked the book or not and maybe some elements supporting that opinion.
Hope this addresses your question. I take issue with your comment “… another level of complexity without increasing participation or enjoyment.” I’ve not seen those participating echo that sentiment. It’s hard to understand that feeling If you’ve never attempted to try the alternative.
Jonetta I did go and look. I just have too much going on to try and follow another group. Sorry to have bothered you.

FYI, you don’t have to follow another group in the traditional sense. I post the link here for your convenience.
High-profile maverick movie producer Jane Mercedes Chadwick hasn't quite completed her newest film, but she's already courting controversy. The World War II epic frankly portrays the homosexuality of a real-life hero-and the storm of advance media buzz surrounding it has drawn the fury of extremist groups. But despite a relentless campaign of angry E-mails, phone calls, and smear tactics, Chadwick won't be pressured into abandoning the project. Then the harassment turns to death threats.
While the FBI appears on the scene, nervous Hollywood associates call in Troubleshooters, and now Chadwick has an army of round-the-clock bodyguards, whether she likes it or not. And she definitely doesn't. But her stubbornness doesn't make FBI agent Jules Cassidy's job any easier. The fiercely independent filmmaker presents yet another emotional obstacle that Cassidy doesn't need-he's already in the midst of a personal tug-of-war with his ex-lover, while fighting a growing attraction to Chadwick's brother.
Determined to succeed-and survive-on her own terms, Chadwick will face off with enemies and allies alike. But she doesn't count on the bond she forms with the quiet, capable Cosmo Richter. Yet even as their feelings bring them closer, the noose of deadly terror all around them draws tighter. And when all hell erupts, desire and desperate choices will collide on a killing ground that may trap them both in the crossfire.
