Customer Reviews

Second in the "Me Not" series

I have to say, I can't rate this one higher, because of the nature of the book, of Kathy's abuse by her stepfather. I do not like the way he was dealt with by the author, especially in the last book of the 3, where he was merely sent off yet again to another continent. You just know he'll be coming back again, to wreck more havoc. He should have been killed off if not in this book, at least in the last book. Despite the treatment of the villan, it was still a very good book. I loved when Kathy was taken to Gretna Green for a quick marriage, it was my favorite scene. 1-10 scale: 9.6 at the highest

Absolutely Marvelous

This is probably my favorite of the three books written in this series. Kathleen and Damien were so beautiful together. The plot was great and the villains were truly dispicable. I absolutely fell in love with the characters and I love how Byron revisits all the characters from her first novel in the series, Tempt Me Not. I love seeing all my favorite characters living happily ever after. A GREAT read!!

A little Disappointing

I've read all three of the series...and while Love Me Not was average, I felt a little disappointed after first reading Tempt Me Not. The heroine seemed weak despite the author's attempt to convince otherwise. She doesn't seem deserving of Damien and the feeling that he fell in love with her from pity took away some of my enjoyment. I admit that my scoring is greatly biased by my love for the characters of Tempt Me Not so that if you didn't read Tempt Me Not or didn't love that book, pass on this one.

Gorgeous

Much like Damien, I found this book to be absolutely gorgeous. The characters are rich, and intriguing. Eve Byron has a simply wonderful style, capturing the characters with vividness, humour, sadness and love.
