I loved LOVE BUILT TO LAST as well and thought Lisa did an outstanding job. And I confess, I also fell in love with Caleb, but I did love Jack too. <br /><br />Congratulations to both you and Linda on your wonderful stories at Sasee. I enjoyed each of them immensely.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06308569005061192110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795370529696691543.post-26553788970438273702015-10-19T16:38:46.438-05:002015-10-19T16:38:46.438-05:00You have such an elevated consciousness and a gene...You have such an elevated consciousness and a generous heart, I can't imagine you'd make anything around you seem unworthy.

I felt the same way but there's no way I could say it like that.... so I don't do reviews because I'm always afraid I'll make the story sound unworthy.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05296300032567383021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795370529696691543.post-67950912743447189942015-10-17T10:38:35.636-05:002015-10-17T10:38:35.636-05:00I used to think I didn't care for romance, eit...I used to think I didn't care for romance, either, but then I realized - like every genre - it all depends on the book. I was forced to read Return of the Native in high school, and all I remember is some guy wandering the moors with the firs faggots and swooning over some girl after twenty years. Or something like that. I so desperately wanted to slap him upside the head and scream, "JUST GET OVER IT ALREADY!!!" Ack. Awful. And I actually had to TEACH Ethan Frome once. I wanted to apologize to the class on a daily basis. I'm sure they both pretended to be classics, but they were really romances - and kind of bad ones in my opinion. But I'm a HUGE Jane Austen fan. To me romance is like horror in that in the wrong hands it can be tiresome, tacky, and sensationalistic...but in the right ones, it can be a frolicking good time for the mind and the soul.

It is so long since I read a 'book' that I can't actually tell you when it was... am planning to amend that on my upcoming trip to OZ. Look out Kindle!!!
