I'm not sure what that says about me LOL :) I thought she made silly financial decisions and the idea of just having massive bills hiding in shoeboxes under the bed gives me hives, but I had a bit of sympathy for her sense of abandonment and for the retail therapy - which in this context was self destructive behaviour in a poor effor to make herself feel better. <br /><br />I really liked that Vaughn didn't have a massive personality transplant. He toned it down a little and made an effort but he was always going to be difficult - but as Grace noted, they seemed to rub along very well together anyway.<br /><br />I have another book of Manning's waiting for me at the library - I really liked this one. :)Kaetrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936055488367251592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480569708975020177.post-21585283199948918292013-07-21T19:44:17.758+09:302013-07-21T19:44:17.758+09:30Heh, I've actually read this - one of my frien...Heh, I've actually read this - one of my friends is a huge Sara Manning fan and wouldn't leave me along until I read it.<br /><br />It was before my days of having even the tiniest clue about romance, but I actually really liked it.<br /><br />It felt all familiar to me - because it's set in England - and I like that Grace & Vaughan aren't actually very nice or very sympathetic people, but they sort of make each other's lives better, and they're very human anyway.<br /><br />I agree that Vaughan is quite mysterious but I think there's a lot you can comfortably intuit about him, stuff that Grace herself barely pauses to interpret. I liked that.<br /><br />And, as you say, I really liked that it took a bit for the sex to work for them.<br /><br />It reminded me of Pretty Woman in a lot of ways - though a lot less fluffy :)AJHhttp://quicunquevult.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480569708975020177.post-72440376643084206762013-07-13T13:16:39.303+09:302013-07-13T13:16:39.303+09:30@Angiegirl - I can definitely see myself re-readin...@Angiegirl - I can definitely see myself re-reading this one.
