There was a book I read just recently - can't remember, but the heroine was alright with the hero not being able to say those three little words - she knew he loved her by his actions. That was refreshing.<BR/>And yes to the magical baby thing. That drives me nuts too!Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348815.post-60156824726889698352008-11-03T06:56:00.000-07:002008-11-03T06:56:00.000-07:00Drusilla: Good call - it also made me remember a g...Drusilla: Good call - it also made me remember a good version of the cliche that was in Jennifer Crusie's "Welcome to Temptation" - the heroine says "I love you" after sex, to which a panicked hero responds, "Uh...that's nice." <BR/><BR/>Our heroine shows up in the next scene in a criminally tight dress, sans underwear, and challenges our hero to a peek-a-boo game of pool, which very promptly convinces our hero of the error of his ways, *lol*. <BR/><BR/>Ana --> I never really got into Hoyt's writing. Reading both "Serpent" and "Raven" prince, they had their good points, but nothing that really grabbed me. But I did find the epilogue to Raven pretty bad, because there was no explanation for why they suddenly got pregnant.
