In Reply to: Lets discuss some important issues!! posted by Ronnie on June 12, 2004 at 23:27:28:
: Lets go back in time when we first read LLT series. I remember "Calhoun"like it was yesterday (It was last march). The first ten pages were really something. It was love at first sight with Calhoun. Abigail was just herself a very special lady. When I open the first page I knew it was going to be a wonderful journey through the end. But you know, I hardly felt their feelings. It was different with Justin. He really make me thought about what love is all about.
: When Shelby and Justin came together, you could of seen big sparkles coming from them. It was just magic, pure and wonderful magic. I remember I first read it in English, but my curiosity took me to read it again in Spanish. It was horrible experience. A lot of scenes were taking out and some of the dialogues. I really got mad, because there weren't no good stuff. Besides that, I really enjoyed the story. I can tell you I cry all the way. I wanted to hit Justin with a rock so he would see all the damage he was doing to Shelby. Finally, he takes a taste of his own medicine, when he feels to be all alone without the love of his life.
: Tyler, in the other hand, I just didnīt like his story. I donīt know but I couldn't identify myself with the characters. Maybe, Nell was a simple girl, I donīt who to explain it.
: Sutton's way: I did like the one so much, I even went to hear some soft rock music from the 80's. Those were the good all days: Chicago, Air Supply, Bon Jovi, Bonnie Tyler, Roxette. My favorite thing was to include a story about a rock singer who falls in love with a rough man.
: Ethan: It was good, but I didnīt felt a connection.
: Connal: With this one I laugh all the way through. Thanks God for mexicans jails!!! Just imagine yourselves with a gorgeous cowboy in a chapel ready to get marry!!! I can dream about it right now!!! Connal was wonderful but can't leave out Pepi. In one simple: LADY. They were a couple made in heaven. My favorite thing was meeting the Tremayne brothers. They were perfect, specially Evan ( I LOVE HIM!!!!!! I WANT A GUY LIKE THAT!!!!).
: Harden: Harden and Miranda were the hottest couple since Heather's song. WOWOW!! Miranda was a special lady for a special man. Harden need it love and he found it with her. She was a woman who need it to believe in love and she found it with him. They found each other at the right time. Their lives were tried from the beginning.
: Evan: MY FAVORITE!!!! Evan and Anna, who would forget them ever??? Evan's only problem was himself. Anna was the solution to all his problems, but he couldnīt let her to get to his heart 'cause she would of find out his terrible secret: He was a man who need it love and someone to share it with. I couldn't believe how a man can drive a woman to her own limits. Maybe he over did it with all his actions toward Anna.
: Donovan: He needs a brain surgery!!! How can you keep yourself tied to your own past???? Ok, his father did what he tought it was right but that doesn't make you to be like him. Fay really tolerated Donovan.
: Sorry, ladies, but I need to got to sleep. I'm tired!!! I'm overdoing it with my story. G
: Good Bye
: Adios
: Aloha

: What I'm trying to say is: GOOD BYEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Here's my take on the ones I've read so far (with added knowledge i may change my views as i read more..who knows)
CALHOUN: It was okay..I didn't like a few things !
Didn't like the fact that he was such a big time womanizer up to the very end,!!..although overall he was a hunk!!!!!!!!
Didn't like the fact that Abby was soooooo naive that it just was to far fetched..I didn't like she was his ward either..just kinda bordered on obscene to me
BUT they had chemistry that's for sure!
JUSTIN: I think I got toooooo much info about Justin and Shelby from the first book CALHOUN; that when it came to their story I was yea yea i know that already!..Get a move on! kinda attitude.
I really never got it what was shelby's medical problem..maybe I'm too naive in that respect!
I didn't buy Justin sudden decision to marry Shelby since he had washed his hands of her over 6 yrs ago and didn't give a darn up to that point!
He was a bit too old and just not much to find interesting..but I liked his dry sense of humor and of course the frog towel episode was a riot!!!
TYLER: I LIKED HIS STORY...I know I know but he was just so believeable..I can relate to why he was so driven and devastated that he'd lost everything and had to rebuild his life..unlike the others who always seem to be swimming in old money! I especially loved the fact that Tyler backed off and made Nell come to terms with her demons and make a decision and even fight for him..I liked his 'old fashioned ways'' I liked Nell cause she may have been innocent (boy nothing like Abby though) but she toughened up, stood up for herself and worked out her problem in a positive way ..well with a bit of a push from Margie off course
SUTTON: Now this was a wildcard in my opinion in alot of ways..cause for the life of me I can't see how he's consider a LLT ! Plus him being a virgin was toooooooo much for me...
I couldn't help but bust out launghing the way Amanda said at the beginning that he was ugly, but the guys in her bands were uglier..
Or when he confessed he's read books on lovemaking, and was kinda following it step by step ..let;s just say that altogether many little things didn't make him hero material in my eyes..
Loved his son to death though a real 'little man' for sure and I liked Amanda's unpretentious ways and generous spirit..in this book for the first time i felt like the heroine was THE ONE IN CONTROL!
ETHAN..pure and simple DID NOT LIKE!!!!
CONNAL: Wow what can i say..I really like this book! pepi was just perfect..she was innocent, butnot naive, she was strong when she had to be, she was a great daughtewr and her Dad was PURE GOLD!!!! After tyler i think their story seem so convincing anbd that pulls me in..all I can say is those Tremayne brothers are going to be a hoot! Can't wait for Evan (this guy was so wickedddddddddd in his first appearance) and Harden just intrigued me..I think his story is goona be awesome!
