Reputation in Taters by Maggie Cox

This one was pretty good. I liked the slightly different story and how he helps her rebuild her confidence instead of believing she is trash. Like the romance development, didn't love it but it was still good. This is one that you kinda forget after you finish, but gave you a relaxing hour or 2 of reading.

Hm. The premise for this one didn't sound that interesting to me, but I'm glad you enjoyed it. I don't typically like heroines who were married before because they usually have some kind of trauma associated with their past marriage. But it's not a double standard- I don't typically like heroes who were married before either for the same reason. I'll read them, but those are not my first choice books from the pile.

So, do you think it's better to have one of those:

(a) inoffensive but bland books that you can breeze through and totally forget about- so much so that you even make a duplicate purchase later because you simply forgot you already own it and read it (like I always do); or

(b) truly offensive ones that have you jumping up and down in outrage but surely are unforgettable?

Dunno, I think I prefer the latter because then at least I don't end up making double purchases of the same book :P.

too funny, lululemon! I hate the ones that are so boring that i lose interest while reading it. the truly offensive, that's harder for me as very little offends me and at least I have to decide that it was ofensive and why. the bland just irate me-I wasted time and money and author/publisher should not make profit from crap!

I agree with Meg on this one. I didn't hate or love this book. The plot and characters had potential, but they just ended up being kind of bland. Maybe it was because they neither had any good conflict (and that that they did have felt forced). I've read some books that lacked a lot of conflict, but int those stories the hero and heroine had a blazing hot attraction, and these two didn't.

It's not a bad read, but it's a filler book (e.g., a book you read when your TBR pile dwindles or you only have time for a short HP).

Read The Lost Wife by Maggie Cox Megan and I think you will see that MC redeems heself. At least I loved it. When you rad it let me know what you think.

Lulu, I followe your instructions to add an underlined title. At the bottom of the search box there was LINK and COVER instead of TITLE. When I clicked LINK the title with the ISBN number? came up but the title was not underlined. Perhaps I will eventually get it, at least I hope so.

Ginny-

Link is correct if you want the title of the book to appear instead of the cover.

Remember that the actual underlying won't appear in the box until you actually click "post" and your message is posted. When you are typing your message in the box, only the html code will appear as below:

"(book:The Lost Wife|12511731)"

Note that the actual code contains brackets "[ ]" and not parentheses "( )." I had to substitute otherwise the underlined title would appear instead of code).

Hope that helps.
