"Rachel Gibson's "See Jane Score""
| |
Okay, well to start off, I haven't been on here for a couple of weeks and I've missed so much! I guess no one noticed my absence, but I suppose that's alright. I haven't been here long enough to earn a rightful "Where is Emily?" comment. Lol. In short, I broke the charger cord thing for my laptop so I am being forced to use my Mom's really old desktop computer. ....and it farts at me. Anyways, I just finished "See Jane Score"...and I cried. I started it Saturday afternoon after reading "Lady Be Good" for the second time and thought, I need something new to read so I won't know what already happens. And I finished it Sunday night.
Wow...was I in for more than I thought! Gibson's book was so much more than I ever would have hoped for. It was outragiously funny, sexy, emotional (in more ways than one), and it was unpredictable.
In most romances that I read - not including ones by SEP - the chemistry between the couple is usually bland and you can figure out pretty easily where their relationship is headed and when they will actually sleep together. With "SJS", I was nearly jumping off my bed in anticipation and I swear I haven't been so excited while reading a non-SEP novel in a really really really long time.
I particularly loved how she wrote the steamy good stuff. She didn't just float on by with a few kisses and a push on the bed and some moans and it was over...oh no...she incorporated the anxious, lustful feelings throughout almost every freakin page in the book...which was amazing for me...because I am at that point in my horomonal life where all I can ever think about is sex and so I was extra happy that the characters were too. xD Hahahaha.
Take my advice if you haven't read it yet....do so...immediately. When I get more money..which won't be for awhile...I am going to go out and by more of her books.  Emily

That, Emily, is a great review! You summed it up beautifully. The story seems so simple, but a part of kept on guessing how the HEA would develop right up until the end. If you're looking for an emotional investment, I highly recommend Rachel Gibson's Truly, Madly, Yours and Daisy's Back In Town. And if you like those two books as well, I'd recommend The Boy Next Door by Emilyn Rees and Josie Llyod (it's technically chick lit, but they are my auto-buy reads). ER & JL books are a bit hard to find in North America, mainly because they're British writers...and now I'm just babbling, lol Emily, don't get disheartened that we didn't think of you. We always do think fondly of all the Seppies who join in, it's just that sometimes, some people join and then leave possibly becasue they don't feel comfortable here, etc. And so we don't want to make you feel uncomfortable by calling you out. But do keep on posting, the more we get to know you, the more you get to know us... Now forgive me, because I have a memory of a squirrel, may I ask how old you are? lol, I'm trying to guess which hormonal imbalance you're talking about puberty or menopause |

Ah, gotta love Luc Martineau, right? *dirtygrin* It was my first RG book as well and I read it years ago, but have re-read it countless times. It's a great style and I really am into sports plus romance books. And, let me tell you...I am 32 and I never in my whole life had as much sex on the brain as I have now. It's getting more and more and the sex is getting better and better. *lol* Happy reading! My blog
