*T's Review of Twice Tempted
Do you watch Big Bang Theory?
I do and Vlad is the Sheldon Cooper of the vamps to me. Well….in a sexy kick
ass kind of way. That’s how I explain it all to the people who have voiced a hard
to love opinion of him. BAZINGA BITCHES!
I didn’t realize just how
much I had missed Jeaniene’s world and writing style until I started reading. I’m
all “Hey girl hey!! I missed you. How have you been?” Seems to long between
books and I forget how much I enjoy this author. Okay back to the book.
Vlad has to man up and
bring it in this one. Leila isn’t putting up with his emotional or rather
unemotional relationship views anymore. She walks out and an unfortunate chain
of events makes Vlad realize he has some things to do to make all this right
between them. Don’t expect hearts and flowers cause that aint our boy. This is
where some have issues with him. But in his Sheldon Cooper like mind he is giving
hearts and flowers……
Thus his words…… A little
spoilery so beware……
“I despise flowery
speech since those who use it are usually guilty of the worst betrayals later.
That and the type of life I’ve lived have made me incapable of saying the
pretty words you deserve to hear, yet if I made you a vampire, you’d feel my
emotions as clearly as I hear your thoughts now.”
Then he drew my hand to his chest, placing it over his heart.
“I never turned any of my previous lovers because I didn’t want them to feel how little I cared. You I loved, yet you left me because I wouldn’t verbalize my emotions. That will probably happen again, but if you could feel what you mean to me, Leila” —his voice deepened— “words wouldn’t matter.”

Yep. I gottcha
buddy!
On the flipside
I really missed the humor that is so prevalent in the other books. I wanted a
rowdy back and forth with Bones. And there was such a great opportunity missed
in this story to have one. With everyone gathering at one point WHERE THE HELL
WAS MY IAN? Again a great opportunity missed for witty banter.
