Um.
It seemed a bit too much like a cheesy Lifetime Movie for it to be any fun. The dialogue was just too overblown & dramatic to seem real to me.
He called her Angel, & she called him Warrior...
Plus, they were both sooo horny when they were sick and/or injured.
Reeeeeeally? Tell me more about your magical sex drive.
Because, see, I don't know if you have ever been violently ill with a high fever, but I have. And, believe you me, there was absolutely no room for thoughts about the sexy-times.
I would love to tell you that I'm one of those alpha-moms, who gets the flu, but still soldiers on. But the truth?
I pray for death, & tell the kids to forage for their own food or starve. Because I could honestly care less if their tummies are rumbly. Microwave a corn dog and leave me alone, dammit!
This is only ONE of the many perks to no longer having small children!
I can't imagine what a wuss I'd be if I had to deal with a stab wound on top of it!
But I kinda doubt I'd be itching to have a make-out session.
Oh, and maybe it's just me (<--I doubt it), but how many of you ladies out there would be willing to kiss your man when he's been ill for a week or so?
Sick People breath is VILE!
Like melted plastic wrapped in rotten eggs...
Ok, even though I wasn't really on board with everything about this one, I still want to read the next book in the trilogy. I was actually hoping that this was the story about Rionna, the warrior chick, but...sadly, no . This one was about Keeley.
Whatever. I've read worse.
I'm not sure who I would recommend this one to, but it's not an unreadable story, and it did make me want to continue on with #3.

I just threw up in my mouth thinking about all of that. Thank you. I'm no longer hungry. LOL
Jeff - the liver and onions of Anne's comments sections for three years running.

That's what I'm here for. Ha!

*blinks innocently*
I looooove onions. Liver...not so much.
Yeah, when I get real sick I pretty much forget I own a penis.
Right?! I mean, when I'm sick...Chris Evans could walk by, and I wouldn't even try to stuff him in the basement!
Jenn *Sassy-Opionated-Country-Girl* wrote: "*blinks slowly*"You poor thing. You had no idea what you would see if you chimed in on one of my threads, did you?
Haha I concede all your points are valid. Though if you disliked this one, you might hate the next one. Hero #3 is an ass.
It's not so much that. I'm used to crazy. I just had a moment where I'm like, dude what the hell do I keep walking into? But I'm over it now. Lol

That's what they all say when the turtle goes in the shell.
*bahahahahaahahahahah*Rolling on the floor here.
Poor Jason. Sorry, buddy!
Y'all are meanies! *takes penis, runs away and plays

Omg. You poor thing!"
Don't encourage him, Jenn. He'll go blind!
I feel as if that is from a movie somewhere. He'll go blind for what? Excess use of Mrs. Palm-ala? *snort*
Yep. It's dangerous stuff!
Anne wrote: "Yep. It's dangerous stuff!"It's hypnotic.
I was thinking more along the lines of 'You'll shoot your eye out'.
OMG! I have 2 teenage boys...it's a REAL THING.
*snort* OMG. Lol. I have no kids but I do have two older brothers and one younger brother.
Then...you know. It's like ALL THE TIME at that age!Ugh. I wanna leave them a note telling them to clear the browser history, stop stealing my good lotion, and put the towel (or whatever!) DIRECTLY into the washing machine.
Sweet baby jesus. I ended up giving my laptop to my younger brother who would steal it for DAYS at a time, and I'd find it and open it and scream 'DAMNIT JEFF! YOUR SICK! How in TF do you watch this crazy shit! And he'd slaunter in like -
Looking back on my teen years, I truly feel bad for what my mother had to launder...
Oh to be a guy and wonder what it would be like. *daydream*

This review is just every.thing.ever!!Because, see, I don't know if you have ever been violently ill with a high fever, but I have. And, believe you me, there was absolutely no room for thoughts about the sexy-times.
Why yes, I too have been violently ill. And no, I do not have sexy-time thoughts while wishing for death.
I've also always found it ridiculous when characters are all "man, her ass looks so bangible" while fighting for their lives.... um, priorities people. Come on!
I agree wholeheartedly with that statement @Karly. For some reason, the whole 'her ass is so bangible' always rubs me the wrong way. *shrugs* I don't know why.

I was being intentionally crass lol
I can't even. Melted plastic wrapped in rotten eggs...

Karly, I'm with you on the priorities! Who gets a boner on the battlefield?!
I'm still trying to work out if 'stuffing Chris Evans in the basement' is a euphemism. It would explain the Captain 'Murica gimp mask I guess.
These GIFs are AWESOME. <3
loved this review! So on point :)
I would have to say that morning breath is also just as vile.. this review made me laugh so much. Haha
Sick People breath is VILE!
It's like an old couples kitchen, where the smell of decades of crappy meals are piled on one another - pot roast (1969) - cabbage and ham (1976) meatloaf (1980).
Is it lunch time yet?
