The food thing bothers me, too (likewise in 50 Shades/Twlight. I haven't read either but I've read close critiques of them. Those critiques inspired this blog, in fact.) Creepy patriarchal policing is not sexy. <br /><br />As for differing books- I think we'll likely have some cross-over. I didn't read all of your reviews, in fact, because I didn't want to be too influenced on the ones that I have in my queue to work on. :D It'll be interesting to see where we differ!<br /><br />(I do pay for my hockey romances, but I often choose based on what's on sale/what's cheapest. Which... may not be the way to get the best books.)The Commissionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16675159425028120684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7479371078277387114.post-76941717281874530842014-09-12T13:11:23.119-04:002014-09-12T13:11:23.119-04:00You're so right-- if you're going to write...You're so right-- if you're going to write an ending, write an ending. Don't just throw everything into a blender and call it a day. The epilogue deserves as much editing and research as the rest of the ... <br /><br />Oh. Right. This is a book that included the magic pants and zero idea of how playoffs-- and in fact, *time itself*, works. Why should I have expected better of the epilogue? <br /><br />The next book (starts Monday!) is not a Harlequin. And while it didn't have many pages more than Body Check did, it felt like it dragged on for an eternity. Hopefully, even if I haven't made the book sound interesting, readers can enjoy my slow descent into insanity and utter rage at the idiocy of the three main characters.

Bad hockey similes, ridiculous trades, nonsensical living arrangements, pregnancy, why do so many books end as if the author was leaving for the airport and had to throw everything into her book/suitcase? <br /><br />But I am struck by the ice cream as well. That was the part I hated most about 50 Shades, this whole deal of bossing the heroine around eating. I find it creepily paternal and completely unsexy. But perhaps that says more about my food priorities, if I want ice cream, I'm damn well eating ice cream.<br /><br />Speaking of food, it's breakfast time. Thank you for all this, and I am really looking forward to finding out what the next book is. I have hopes. I find it interesting that I have read so many hockey romances, and yet I don't seem to have read the same ones you have. Perhaps I should start paying for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
