I like to trust both parties in a relationship (fictional or otherwise) so I can feel like they'll live happily ever after. ;)Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18337786952098547265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7264409668700915692.post-33187363903936045162013-02-22T12:57:09.434-07:002013-02-22T12:57:09.434-07:00I agree that Edenbrooke was the best one. I can...I agree that Edenbrooke was the best one. I can't decide if I liked Lady Outlaw more than Melanie Jacobson's books or not. I like all three of them. I wasn't a big fan of Of Grace and Chocolate. Until I reread your review I couldn't even remember what it was about, only that I had "eh" feelings toward it. I will say this about Smart Move though; you mentioned in your review that you didn't know how you felt about Jake at the end. I think that's why I liked the book so much. In her other novels the girls all had things they needed to figure out while the guy patiently (or not so patiently) waits for her to figure things out. While Sandy had stuff to figure out, it wasn't the source of the conflict in the book. Jake was the problem even though he was trying to be the hero. Anyway, those are my two bits :)Tarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16190689893742625106noreply@blogger.com
