Well, I was excited about reading it until read some reviews which put me off a bit. *sigh* And it sounded so good too. The cover is cute though.

I couldn't feel for him.....party pooper again.:)
So wanted to love this. It's another book I've set aside, hoping I'll get further into it on my next try. Cutest cover of all time!

Phew I am not alone, it was a struggle but I finished it:)
It is a great cover! It stands out among the all the naked torsos that usually occupy m/m covers.

You are not alone. I've read quite a few negative reviews of this book.

I think my tastes are changing too. I'm attracted to almost every review I read, but the actual books are a bit of a chore to read or finish. I think I've reached a point where a good story and even an HEA aren't enough. I can't quit MM though, in part because the people who read it are about the best people ever, and the most supportive I've found on GR.
Alice, I read a few and they all make good points. Nila, lately except for a rare few, its been the same for me. I wont quit either....m/m is it for me.
It is understandable, Vio. After reading so many books in this genre. That is why I've been picky and setting aside that personal challenge of mine. I definitely don't read MMs as many as I used to and I prefer until other people review it first.

Maybe we should just read a good ol' Domashita again sometime.^^

Trying new stuff is great, interspersing those reads with god ol' favourites to avoid a book burnout is better. :D
