...Dazzling Mage, I know! What's up with that? <br /><br />Melissa, Thanks :) It discourages me too, especially as a librarian. My kids come up all excited because they like a cover, but then I have to tell them it's a little too old for them. Then the older kids look at me like I'm crazy for offering them a "kids" book. <br /><br />Chelsea, Thank you!<br /><br />JessiKay, Thanks! Haha, yes, Gracepearl is right up there with Renesmee for me. Maybe the moral of the story is, "Pick one name only"<br /><br />Laura, Doesn't it sound like so much fun? I was so disappointed. You'll just have to read it to see how it ends! Or, you could email me and I'll tell you :)Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-44458066623828559992010-12-14T14:28:13.665-05:002010-12-14T14:28:13.665-05:00I'm sorry this book wasn't what you expect...I'm sorry this book wasn't what you expected. I agree that the idea of a bunch of princes coming to an island to learn how to woo women sounds very entertaining! Too bad the MC was so shallow. Also, having all the romance happen off stage is a bummer. Now, I'm curious about how it ended. Did she marry for convenience or for love? Did she get off the island? LoL. You don't have to answer. I don't want to spoil the book for others.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09793648441233864051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-14806168032338067232010-12-14T13:11:06.756-05:002010-12-14T13:11:06.756-05:00Great review.

It discourages me when the cover, character voice, etc don't match the age-level of the genre in which it fits.
