It isn't high on their list of priority fixes. It doesn't retain the code and just cycles to the next book with the same title. It only retains the original book if there are no other books by that title. It is really bad when it is a complete different genre and people click on it and say, "WTH?"
I hope you can refrain from reading

I listened to the audio book, and enjoyed both the VO Talent (Hunter Graham) and the story very much. It's fun reading Nick Gautier's back-story, and is making me want to read some of Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series all over again.

Congrats, Christine! I'm going to start Dream Lake today, hopefully! So excited.Yes, Melissa! I definitely remember the Godiva chocolate scene. LOL!
