Presenting High School life in any form is fraught with danger; either authors presume too much knowledge about how its social mechanisms work or they lose themselves in the interactions that have little or nothing to do with the story they are telling. This book falls into the first category; and that's not the worst of its shortcomings
In the fourth book of the Belgariad series, the apprentice arrives at his destination. The worst kept secret (at least for the reader) is being revealed to all the world. And all the world means the universe and everything. While the previous books were dominated by a group interaction, this book now changes tack to a more stationary and divisive lifestyle. This can go only so far, though.
I planned on having a peek at the first chapter before going to sleep. Now it's morning and I finished the book. Not the way I planned it, but it is Saturday; I can sleep all day if I want to. Lucy Monroe's After The Billionaire's Wedding Vows was published by Harlequin. And it kept my attention seamlessly from start to end. The author sent me the book for a review; I happily obliged on this one.
