Attractively dispersed. Yum<br /><br />2. That suit looks damn good worn like that ...<br /><br />3. That is a fine figure of a man, displayed attractively.<br /><br />Oh yeah .... <3Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05151587271439513617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6662316995305232662.post-27669553840124870672015-03-12T10:36:50.145-07:002015-03-12T10:36:50.145-07:00It (whatever 'it' is) wouldn't let me ...It (whatever 'it' is) wouldn't let me post over on Karen's, so I'll state here that yes, I read it and OMG, I loved it!<br /><br />I can see where Lori is coming from, but perhaps because the men in my life don't have a romantic bone in their bodies, I appreciated Gabe and his patience with Charlie.<br /><br />It's an almost well known fact that romance is connected to peni, where men are concerned. And other body parts. Show romance, show you like her - squeeze a boob, lol. <br /><br />Basic biology 101.<br /><br />However, many men have become half civilized I feel Gabe is one of them. His fantasies are typical man-love and actually, Charlie is no slouch in the fantasy department herself.<br /><br />Perhaps Lori would have felt the romance more if the passage of time had been more delineated? I don't know ... I just know I loved this book, loved the characters and agree with everything AL said. :-)Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05151587271439513617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6662316995305232662.post-69278995712281303632015-03-11T16:32:05.851-07:002015-03-11T16:32:05.851-07:00I always find it interesting how we can read the s...I always find it interesting how we can read the same book and yet it's a different book for each of us. I found Gabriel incredibly romantic myself (yeah, I gushed a lot about him already, heh)<br /><br />He finds her sparkle (when she's not terrified of him) intriguing during the interrogation on his second day on the job. <br /><br />When he 'forces' the promotion to PA on her, he admires her guts and her temper, even as it makes him angry that she's so careful around him.<br /><br />By day four, he's teasing her about her relationship with Ernest (calling him Ermine, offering her advice in the form of "there's a pill for that" etc)<br /><br />He overhears Charlotte talking with Molly on the phone and enjoys her dry wit.<br /><br />However, he's also aware from day one that she's afraid of me, which makes him biding his time for weeks (which eventually turn into a couple of months) before he pursues her openly, romantic to me.<br /><br />He finds her attractive from pretty much the beginning, but I find that pretty normal, frankly--more, in a real life relationship, that would be a dealbreaker for me. If the other person is not very much into me physically, and I into him...well *shrug*<br /><br />Sorry, gushing again, I fear.aztecladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14857872357667370906noreply@blogger.com
