Maybe Not (Maybe, #1.5)

Not sure I am going to do a review. Sex, Sex, Sex.... more Sex..... I think as an "older" reader I need some sort of "theme", an "interest", a "subject matter", in my books... Boy meets Girl, Boy fucks Girl, Boy hates Girl, Girl hates Boy - just doesn't do it for me anymore.... Scrooge much, Maura????? Five Stars... no fucking way.... Jeez, I think I am getting cranky in me old age!!! I LOVED Maybe Someday so maybe my expectations were too high.

I am not being a bitch as I said I LOVED Maybe Someday so its not as if I am bashing the author.... but, sorry, this was a bust.
Totally get where you're coming from, Mo. Great sum up. :D

Great review, Mo. Sorry this one wasn't what you were hoping for.
AJ wrote: "Great review, Mo. Sorry this one wasn't what you were hoping for."No worries AJ. I seem to be in a bit of a slump at the moment.
Agreed, Mo. Her books tends to be on the pricey side, and after Ugly Love, I took her off my auto-buy list.
Lol. I love this review. I must be getting cranky in my old age too. This type of story doesn't do much for me anymore either. 10 years ago, I would have eaten it up. lol
old my ass, you can still run circles around me! Great honest review, Mo :)) I love your crankiness!
Super review Mo, and you are far from old!! Sorry this wasn't what you were looking for, and now I am glad that I didn't purchase it..Her books are very expensive in Canada, so I want a book with way more story to it than just sex...I do like sex..don't get me wrong; but there has to be so much more to it..I hope you get out of your slump soon!
Mo 100% with you girl. Hope you enjoy your next read more x
Lol..very true, Mo. I've yet to get to this series. Hope you jump out of your slump. :D

Thank you kindly, ladies ...
Sorry you did not like it. But I hate plotless stories full of sex, so I totally understand where you are coming from!
Hahahhaa!!! I am getting cranky in my old age too!!! LMAO
LOL, I can see why you didn't like it...sorry, Mo! xx
Nicely said, Maura. I remember one of your reviews, don't remember the book though, where there was too much 'clit action', you called it "clithaton". Lol!I can understand how too much sex without a background story can ruin a book though. Nice review Madame Cranky.
*butts in* Clithaton, LMAO!!! *butts out*
Naomi wrote: "*butts in* Clithaton, LMAO!!! *butts out*"Lol, hey I thought it was a nice find!
Sorry it didnt work for u, Mo, but there sure was a lot of sex...LOL!
Lol! Nice review Mo, and it isn't just you. The tropes you're talking about are filler, so it's not too much to ask for a decent story ;)
Great review Mo. And your sure as hell not old!! lol

Fab review, Mo! Can this be read as a stand alone you?
Jen wrote: "Fab review, Mo! Can this be read as a stand alone you?"Yes, it probably can.

Yes, so true! I noticed that I expect so much more from books since I read Outlander. It is harder to wow me now.

Totally, Lucia. And I pay something like 5 or 6 dollars for a book like outlander that keeps me occupied for days one end, I do begrudge paying $3 for something that I finish in about an hour....
Whoa!!! CoHo and 2 stars... interesting. I'm intrigued. I loved Maybe Someday too... maybe I'll hate this one too!!! Can't wait! Hi Mo... I'm back I know you missed me!!!!

Feeling the same as you Mo. Not used to all this sex from CH ....

Totally agree Mo - the sex didn't even get me going unfortunately :(

Trust me, I'm 17 and I feel just the same. I can't buy the -no-theme-but-enough-sex-to-make-one bullshit. You're all good.

I personally feel like it totally gave the perspective from warren was great…however I wish they would have continued the story evolving their relationship to more then sex. When he went to visit his sister was awesome to see Bridget softer motherly side. I do look forward to start reading maybe now!!!
It made me hate Warren the entire third book.
