It's a cute short story. Would have been a little more realistic in some parts if it was longer but overall sweet
i do like pat conroy but have a hard time enjoying his long... long... drawn out writing. I know that a lot of people love him but i just cant ever get interested when so little of his rambling actually proves to be important to the novel.
This is a review of all the books in the series. The first book was fine, even if there were some predictable girl in danger situations to bring Edward and Bella together, but it was fine. I thought that it would have been better to have a bit more suspense in the romance but whatever. The biggest problem was whiny Bella and how whiny and immature she was and now will be forever since as a vampire she will never change and she will be whiny forever. I completely disagree with the idea of vampires being the ideal body and beauty. The chapter where she is hunting her first blood is disgusting! How could anyone think that is how they would like to end up? I think the series could have been great if Bella had matured, and Bella and Edward's relationship had matured as well, allowing her to see the world beyond the Cullens and vampires. And maybe if she and Edward didn't spend all their time talking about how much they love each other and can't live without each other they would have become more interesting characters, but their desperation for each other made them become stale. Also there were plot cop-outs that totally bugged me. The biggest in the last book was having Jacob become soul partners with Renesme. Then Bella had no need to feel guilty about her treatment of Jacob and everything was just great. I know people have very strong positive feelings about this book, but I progressively disliked each book in the series a little more. It is sad that I have such a compulsion to finish series.
Raven Kendick is a bastard, for she was born out of wedlock (but no one knows)so she plans on marring for a title instead of love because she doesn't want to follow in her mothers footprints, but when she is kidnapped on the day of her wedding by a suitor who is completely out of his mind and wakes up to find herself in his brothers club then she knows that there is no way to save her reputation...unless she marries Kell Lasseter the man who saves her life. Kell Lasseter never thought his little brother would ever hurt a women let alone one who is as beautiful as Raven and when he is forced to save her he never thought that he will resort to asking for her hand in marriage. Now the two have to learn to live with what has been given to them and when Kell's brother threatens both of their lives will this destory them or make them stronger?
