Bam,
Where are you? It’s summertime and you have no homework so why aren’t you reading more books? I’m jonesing for more book reviews, more cover snarks — anything!!, to give me my daily dose of snarky humour. This last post was on the 26th. THAT WAS A WEEK AGO!!
No pressure, dude, but READ FASTER ;D

Love your site,
Wylie

WOW.

I love that you actually looked at stuff. Well heres the deal. This story was and is A short story tied to a much larger and longer novel series that is now with another publisher. Your right, the story is short and theres a lot that we didnt tell you, but its becasue the story wasnt supposed to be anything more then a short.I didnt want to tell much in it, it would kill the real series.
Im surprised you gave it a C+ though, and quite ok with it too.

So heres the deal, Im going to just have to send you the other books (once i get the damn edits back) so that maybe youll understand it a little better. Personally, Snow and Dimitri’s story isnt even half done in Bargain, and ends in Book two of our actual series.

All the questions you asked get answered in the main books, and now im kinda sorry i sent this to you.. lol. I think youll actually enjoy the full series… and thanks for the review…

I don’t mind a whore but I can’t find any love for a pimp. I saw this at Cobblestone Press and was not even tempted. Plus I hate heroines with white blonde or platinum hair only slightly less than I do redheads.

Sybil, I keep meaning to get Fallen From Grace, I really need to write it down somewhere methinks.

And Bam, I take certain pride in knowing that that word is becoming more and more utilised round the US oriented blogosphere!

You and your ho’s…

I so thought of you when I first saw this book. Fallen from Grace is still one of my all time faves.

Hey Bam,
I don’t know about the hero being a pimp storyline, but I think it would be really hard to write a book where the heroine really is a ho–not just a fake ho that only has to have sex with the hero as you say. Actually, the books I can think of that do it the best are those Kushiel novels you didn’t like. The heroine is not only a ho, she’s a natural born pain slut and she has to sleep with all kinds of men in the course of the books but you still end up respecting and cheering for her. I’m telling you, you ought to give them another chance.
