I actually loved the t...I DO NOT LIKE THAT REVIEW.<br /><br />I actually loved the twist and turns of this book. Especially how evryone live was entertwine.<br /><br />I do not think this reviewer was familiar with your work at all. If she was familiar with the different characters then her review would have been more accurate.<br /><br />This review was filled with IGNORRANCE!Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06281510729294890921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13456339.post-45854279219720409192009-05-06T05:37:00.000-07:002009-05-06T05:37:00.000-07:00first reaction: "Oh F***, ssss burn"

The way I've learned to deal with them is to 'eat the meat and throw away the bones'. Meaning, take whatever truth (no matter how big or small) might be in them and throw away the rest.<br /><br />Ask yourself, if Prince really came across as effeminate? If there really was a lack of deep love throughout the story? If Grae really was too weak, her improvements too momentary? <br /><br />If any of the answers are yes and you didn't mean for those things to come across that way, tighten up those areas during your next edits. If the answers are no, then disregard that part of the review. <br /><br />I personally didn't think Prince was effeminate. But then again, that's just my OPINION.<br /><br />I could say more, but this comment is already too long as it is. lol.<br /><br />P.S. I'll email you later about the time a Christian publisher blasted me for making my scenes too sensual. Most prefer that the hero/heroine don't even share a heated kiss in the book. lol. See why I'm still doing so much independent publishing! lol.<br /><br />Keep your head up, girl.Suprinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04097147272286189832noreply@blogger.com
