I loved it for all the reasons you mentioned - the romance took time to develop, and everything just felt real, from her financial situation to her interactions with her roommates. Can't wait for more in this series. And I definitely need to read Talk Sweetly To Me!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-55326682584909242462014-08-25T19:26:35.950-04:002014-08-25T19:26:35.950-04:00I didn't quite enjoy I Want It That Way as muc...I didn't quite enjoy I Want It That Way as much as you did, but I'm happy Ann is getting into more romance or New Adult or whatever this is. :) She's an author whom I haven't quite figured out just yet. joyousreadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06598919830723933043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-85322646375641150292014-08-25T15:20:12.124-04:002014-08-25T15:20:12.124-04:00I enjoyed the Ann Aguirre book as well.

Plus you said... <i>"...the perfect coda to a perfect quartet; I can't wait for more, Milan."</i> What can I say I love music metaphors. :DMelissa (Books and Things)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00074452958853212024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-33665186282994108232014-08-25T12:25:42.760-04:002014-08-25T12:25:42.760-04:00The romance and chemistry have my attention.The romance and chemistry have my attention.brandileigh2003https://www.blogger.com/profile/01669251993917961293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-14844186318322665652014-08-25T12:23:58.219-04:002014-08-25T12:23:58.219-04:00The chemistry between them as well as the gorgeous...The chemistry between them as well as the gorgeous cover sounds like something that I could enjoy as wellbrandileigh2003https://www.blogger.com/profile/01669251993917961293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-80323471296749027552014-08-25T06:17:23.067-04:002014-08-25T06:17:23.067-04:00I actually said almost exactly the same thing abou...I actually said almost exactly the same thing about I Want it That Way. It's DEFINITELY a milestone for NA which is what makes it so special in my opinion. It's not a novel that's going to blow your mind or leave you star struck but it expands the boundaries of NA. It's more than what we've all come to expect of NA and that's what makes it so special for me! :)<br /><br />I haven't read any of the novellas from the Brother's Sinister but you may have my attention with Talk Sweetly to Me. A MALE FEMINIST? Hell yeah! And a colored female lead? If that isn't enough to make me want to check it out, I don't know what is.<br /><br />I am glad you enjoyed both of these, Keertana!! :)<br /><br />Lovely reviews! :)<br /><br />Rashika @ <a href="http://thesocialpotato.maryfaye.net" rel="nofollow">The Social Potato</a>Rashika https://www.blogger.com/profile/03823262638606052465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-84101219609686679942014-08-24T13:44:29.354-04:002014-08-24T13:44:29.354-04:00My favorite thing about I Want it That Way (and th...My favorite thing about I Want it That Way (and the other two books, which I also read and loved) is the extreme realism Ann went for. Everyday tasks for regular people, no fabricated drama, nothing of the like. It felt like real life transferred to pages, which I appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed it overall!Maja (The Nocturnal Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14276646316400863181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-3911516998299653732014-08-24T06:50:22.150-04:002014-08-24T06:50:22.150-04:00I was never aware that Ann Aguire had written so m...I was never aware that Ann Aguire had written so many novels.

I'm a little worried now, Keertana. It's also a bit longer that a lot of romance books and I usually find that doesn't work for me. The story usually feels like it's dragging along when it comes over the 300 page mark when it's just a romance. I guess we'll see, but I'm happy this worked for you, it's gives me some hope again. I have this for review as well. Glad to see you enjoyed the historical romance as well. I don't pick them often but I usually enjoy them when I do. :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682335183798720529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-86004238077447795872014-08-23T11:33:27.679-04:002014-08-23T11:33:27.679-04:00It looks like you had two great romances, that is ...It looks like you had two great romances, that is awesome!
