I'm sure plenty of readers will enjoy it.<br /><br />Just peeked at what you wrote on FB. Works for me. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-31023170876054668212013-07-07T23:10:11.896-05:002013-07-07T23:10:11.896-05:00I can understand why this was too much for you but...I can understand why this was too much for you but it sounds like a fantastic read for those who can handle the graphic details.<br /><br />Thanks for being on the tour.

In a way, I'm glad I stuck it out, but at the same time . . . it's another one that made me feel like I needed a brain eraser. So dirty. You and I are alike in not enjoying bad language and sex scenes. I actually thought, "Holly would hate this," but it didn't occur to me that it might have been offered to you. For you, the decision to skip was the right one.

Wish I could have all my cat-loving buddies over to play with her. Kittens are such a hoot. Thanks! I hope it works out, too. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-64338373327906615852013-07-04T10:09:45.581-05:002013-07-04T10:09:45.581-05:00I love the warning icons. LOL! Perfect. I really...I love the warning icons. LOL! Perfect. I really wavered on accepting this one for review, but ultimately didn't. I'm so glad I made that decision. I wouldn't have liked this one at all. I'm with you. I hate graphic language and sex scenes. They rarely, if ever, improve a story and I don't need those visuals in my head. Love the honest review. So very glad I passed on this one.Holly (2 Kids and Tired)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13075380878850295214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-17681854487098383552013-07-03T20:00:51.858-05:002013-07-03T20:00:51.858-05:00Well, I'm intrigued by the twist you mentioned...Well, I'm intrigued by the twist you mentioned!

The other kitties are asleep so they won't miss me. <br /><br />LOL I'll remember that about The Crimston Petal and the White. While She Rises was just too crude and graphic for me, I'm sure a lot of people will love it so I tried to make that clear in my review. I hope I succeeded. Isn't the cover spectacular? <br /><br />Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-51094843223696398292013-07-01T11:56:56.921-05:002013-07-01T11:56:56.921-05:00Prissy is sooooo cute!!!

I just finished The Crimson Petal and the White (which had some pretty deplorable content), so I don't think this one would offend me. I might give it a go. You're right about the cover -- awesome!Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220718933942181809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-30714399052082368382013-07-01T09:17:30.634-05:002013-07-01T09:17:30.634-05:00I noticed some of the Goodreads reviews that I loo...I noticed some of the Goodreads reviews that I looked at were very clear but some people danced around the graphic content. I wish the cover blurb had been a bit more telling but everything the publisher said is accurate. It's just not <i>complete</i>. <br /><br />Thanks! Prissy's a hoot. It won't kill me if we don't get to keep her because they told us at the shelter that she's "very adoptable" due to her looks but we're sure enjoying having a kitten around.

Still giggling about that. I hadn't realised at all how graphic this book is, from other descriptions.
