I don't even know if I'll be cooled down when I reread it this month. *fans self*<br />I also gave Alienated a 4* when I read it last year. I just picked up the sequel which needs to be read ASAP.<br />Great review! I thought the book was fun. I wasn't totally swoony with the romance either. But I Iike where Landers went with the story. <br />As for hot alien romances, nothing will beat the Lux series by JLA. That is a HOT, need a cold shower bunch of books. <br />Happy reading!<br />Brittany @ <a href="http://thisisthestoryofmyreadinglife.blogspot.ca/" rel="nofollow"> This is the Story of My(Reading) Life </a>BrittanyLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10645210938042967995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-40926036802371359222015-02-08T09:20:21.799+00:002015-02-08T09:20:21.799+00:00I did enjoy this one, buuuut, I think I ended up g...I did enjoy this one, buuuut, I think I ended up giving it 3-stars (ooh ouch) actually because I felt that Aelyx was just a teenage Vulcan and I was sad it wasn't more original. >.> Also Cara wanting to leave her family for a boy she just met. Wut. But I'm just being quite fussy I assume. XD IT WAS FUNNY THOUGH!!

That has happened to me many times with series I have loved, put on hold and then came back to and decided I didn't like it as much as I remembered liking it. <br />Kind of sad when it does happen but I am glad overall you still really liked this though.Kindlemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084577342034704304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-79603614690826027322015-02-07T21:51:30.381+00:002015-02-07T21:51:30.381+00:00I think it is good to try and reread books like yo...I think it is good to try and reread books like you do - because you are correct, people change and their opinions can change. Sometimes my opinions change a few days after reading it alone. I haven't read this book yet but I do want to, because a 4 out of 5 rating is still pretty high ^^ And I like the idea of a slow burning romance and great characters. It's a shame about secondary characters, but it still sounds like a great read.

Ha. I hate when people use words like "sucktacular", "craptacular", and others I've heard in the past but can't quite recall right now. Ooh, blog entries! Sounds interesting. :) Ha, writers can make ANY non-human "race" appareling. ;) That's why vampires, beasts and zombies now have hearts.<br /><br />I'm totally with you on the slow burning romance. That's how I like it/love it. I hate the whole "blah blah, I hate you, you're a jerk, you suck" *200 pages later* "I was lying, I love you, blah blah, I suck" hate-to-love shorelines, myself anyway…<br /><br />Ah, I hate when friends, especially best friends, and significant others make a few appearances and then disappear. :( I hate it. So. Much.<br /><br />But it looks like you really like this book! It's a good thing I bought it when the kindle version was .99. :) I love that cover too.<br /><br />--AmberAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-3599662890694515422013-10-17T22:56:18.451+01:002013-10-17T22:56:18.451+01:00I was not only hesitant but almost certain I would...I was not only hesitant but almost certain I would hate this, I ended up loving it so much.

Add the fact that Disney hates me. Every time I put in a request for one of their titles, I always get disapproved. Le sigh. <br /><br />I am glad that this has worked for you. It's also good to know that the leads were fleshed out even if the secondary characters were not. And I love the well developed romance too. Heaven knows, we're tired of reading a lot of instalove.<br /><br />I still have to think if I want to snuggle with this book though. <br /><br />Thanks for dropping by Thoughts and Pens.
