Kirjaudu LibraryThingiin nähdäksesi, pidätkö tästä kirjasta vai et. Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. Reread w/ my friends Gaufre & Joanna. Nov 2018. For my second read of this book, I just sunk in a bit more to JAL's prose right away. JT was charming, as expected, and Britt wasn't as offensive initially (I can't remember warming to her) I couldn't remember why. And I thought "I will think on this--Maybe only this--while I read this book." Oh. She didn't show much vulnerability. Ever. Her grand gesture was sorta putting herself out there in what felt like the safest way possible--after it's confirmed how he feels. Ultimately, that makes it his grand gesture-twice-in a sense. In summary, kinda: The first part of the book went much better, then the ex shows up, it stumbles (see below), everyone gets unlikable in a bit too petty of a way, and it recovers because JT puts himself out there and Britt sees the result...The last chapter is lovely. Also, never noticed how much page time the characters coming up really got before--I'm thrilled, and completely smitten w/ JAL's consistency in this way. Even if she's shit at math. _____________________________________________________ For a more sophisticated and veteran JAL POV, see Bubu's review Thanks for the BR, Bubu! I can and have said a lot about this book. I believe it's a fairly solid 3, and could've been a four if it were not for a few major issues. Hiding the rest of the review under a spoiler, due to my buddy read, just in case... In the beginning of this book, I thought, "whoa descriptive," which quickly shifted to "whoa, wordy" which quickly shifted to "whoa, rambling." Bubu made me aware that this author just shifted to CR, and some of her phrasing - and exposition for that matter - definitely felt more suitable to HR. Then around 60ish? % I felt like the contemporary came out. Some of that felt choppy and detached from the style earlier in the story, but it was much easier to read. Can I nest a spoiler? I can try... So the good? Dialogue. Even in the beginning, where it was rambling, the dialogue was breathe of fresh and funny air. The supporting cast was a lot of fun. J.T. was also a great hero-considerate, sweet, and a fixer. The use of fixing up (or not giving up) and plants...wonderful. The end-about the last 10% or so felt particularly sweet and well-written. The heroine's relationship with her sister could've made me understand her more, so I wish we'd seen more of that. I will absolutely continue the series, especially considering how the author seemed to fall into a more contemporary rhythm by the end. In addition, I truly enjoyed the characters...even though Britt grated on me for a portion of the book. Stays mostly in the shallow end, no risk story telling. Hero reminded me a little bit of SEP's Bobby Tom Denton, with charm and flirt. Heroine had abusive past but pretty much glossed over except for mention and device to create ending foil to HEA. Small town cuteness, drama, and series baiting secondary characters. Relationship skirted depth but couple had some fun back and forth. Solid contemporary romance apple pie, good but not terribly exciting. I've read all of Julie Anne Long's historicals and I've been looking forward to her new contemporary. John Tennessee (J.T.) McCord comes to Hellcat Canyon scouting out the location for his new show and meets waitress Britt Langley. There's instant attraction, witty dialogue, and a hot but sweet romance. JT is a bit older (40) and his acting career is on the downside so he's hoping to make a comeback. Britt has moved to Hellcat Canyon to escape her own past. Somewhat predictably, JT's ex shows up near the end to cause problems, but the cast of characters is great and I'm hoping for more stories from Hellcat Canyon. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

A broken truck, a broken career, and a breakup heard around the world land superstar John Tennessee McCord in Hellcat Canyon. Legend has it that hearts come in two colors there: gold or black. And that you can find whatever you're looking for, whether it's love . . . or trouble. JT may have found both in waitress Britt Langley. His looks might cause whiplash and weak knees, but Britt sees past JT's rough edge and sexy drawl to a person a lot like her: in need of the kind of comfort best given hot and quick, with clothes off and the lights out. Her wit is sharp but her eyes and heart--not to mention the rest of her--are soft, and JT is falling hard. But Britt has a secret as dark as the hills, and JT's past is poised to invade their present. It's up to the people of Hellcat Canyon to help make sure their future includes a happily ever after. "Julie Anne Long's writing glows with emotional intensity and strong, passionate characterization." JAYNE ANN KRENTZ Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

Another small town story with great characters, the residents of Hellcat Canyon are amiable and will be there one for the other.
Even though Britt is staying in Hellcat Canyon not very long, the people of the small town love her and are willing to help her. JT is a famous actor with a lot of broken feelings and things around him.
The love is at from the beginning, as soon JT sees Britt. And from there, everything starts.
JT is a man that you don't see very much he is a gentleman from the inside as well as his manners. The past story of the two main characters was painful, and they try to run from it. Their relationship is helping with recuperating and find the missing parts to be happy again.
Yes, like every romance, this one too has to have a hurtful break up to make Britt and JT think what they are missing when they are not together.
I haven't read many books from the romance genre, but I believe that it is a good one to start. Yes, it has a sexy time, but for the characters are so close to real life people that it is fun to read. ( )
