So, I was reading a lot this week. I started Worth the Trip, buy Penny McCall. I am not sure where I stand on this issue, but do you think that in order to read a series, you need to read the ENTIRE series?
I love the character of Trip Jones, but I loved him in the earlier novel he appeared in as well. I love, love, love Norah. I did not expect to, but I walked away really loving her character. Anyway, the fact is, the Trip that I read in her earlier works would not have even fallen for a woman like Norah.So I guess the point I am trying to make is what if prior experience with a character hinders the overall novel? Is that really far to readers? It is obvious that regardless of where you stand on whether or not Worth the Trip was a good novel, you will say that Trip was definitely unexpected.
On another positive note, Jack and Aubrey from All Jacked Up, appeared in the novel, briefly, as well. They were so freaking cute.
On an irritating note, what is with Worth the Trip’s sex scenes all being exactly one page? And completely out of the blue? Did anyone else feel irked by this?
Anyway, for some great romantic suspense, check Penny McCall. I own all of her books and love to read them!
PS: FIVE DAYS until Julie's A Lot Like Love! Seriously. Can. Not. Wait.
Love, Adrienne
