Overall this was a love story with a bit of mystery and some action to round it out. A true delight to read. <br />There was some offensive language but for the most part it fit with the storyline. The sex scenes, although not modest, were not overly inappropriate either. This is one I will recommend to others and read again myself.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15902585771297046270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367491918209452164.post-13413462967371692252009-10-28T20:19:58.491-07:002009-10-28T20:19:58.491-07:00Yes, as said before, it is used.

I did not find the sexual content offensive....I though it was wholly appropriate to the storyline.....<br /> But yes, I should have mentioned the language.Kim R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07559723072849271422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367491918209452164.post-40322549006939884422009-10-28T18:36:26.733-07:002009-10-28T18:36:26.733-07:00Definitely some f-bombs and, even worse in my opin...Definitely some f-bombs and, even worse in my opinion, the use of the "C" word on more than one occasion. <br /><br />I can pretty much reiterate what everyone else has said. I loved the book, but there was MOMENTS of profanity. Basically WHAM you get hit with some big words and then the story moves on. So, read at your own risk. If profanity bothers you, then it will probably bother you in this book.MindySuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122081120154598894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367491918209452164.post-51442406135454139942009-10-28T15:42:59.948-07:002009-10-28T15:42:59.948-07:00Thank you for such a positive review on this book!...Thank you for such a positive review on this book! I whole-heartedly agree with your review! I absolutely fell in love with it right from the beginning! But yes, I was very surprised by how frequently the "F" word was used. Definitely a huge negative for me, but the story was just so wonderful. The thing is, there was no other swearing--only the "F" word--but yes, if you are sensitive to that, I would not read this book. It also did have some inappropriate scenes, but that was not nearly as offensive to me as the language. Still yet, a wonderfully creative story. A must read if you can overlook some bad language.Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15414406288103357265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367491918209452164.post-72874451061686073242009-10-28T14:06:49.725-07:002009-10-28T14:06:49.725-07:00From what I remember there is a lot of sex and lan...From what I remember there is a lot of sex and language. <br /><br />That said, this is a book that meets my compelling and non-manipulative standard for novels. It is intense and bad things happen to the characters, but they "need" to happen for the story to be, ahem, real. I think I'd give it a 4.5-5 as well.<br /><br />I'm glad to see that it the movie is rated PG-13. That means my husband (and his sweet innocent mind) can see the story without the R-rated stuff.Sweet Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636443574868229467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367491918209452164.post-27079155240281812572009-10-28T08:04:02.243-07:002009-10-28T08:04:02.243-07:00I've not read this book because I've heard...I've not read this book because I've heard that the "language" is awful -- specifically the F Bomb. You've not mentioned it -- was that an issue???Gerbera Daisy Diarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11605934758292568280noreply@blogger.com
