You know what might make me happy today?

If I could get into interstellar mode, travel back in time when Jack (who is sadly the hero of this book) was a young boy, turn into this wrathful creature and kill him. Yeah!



But why, you might ask.

Click on the spoiler to read why. My own rant is too depressing for me to look at. So I have hidden it.

“Have you ever gotten serious with anyone, Jack? Really serious, like getting engaged?��
“Once,�� he admitted. “But it didn’t work out.��
“Why not?��
“W���?��
The hesitation before his reply was long enough that I
realized this was a subject he seldom discussed.
“She fell in love with someone else,�� he finally said.

Good. She is much better off without you Jack Travis.

I honestly do not understand what the heck is Lisa Kleypas obsession with hunting and giving vegetarians a pathetic look in most of her novels. This was terrible.

Tell me what is so infinitely sexy about a 'hero' who kills innocent animals for pleasure, separates them from their family and then claims that this act of his helps conserves the environment?

Gosh. I wish goodreads had a negative rating system.

A short rant, since I am not wasting my precious time to write a huge one on such a miserable story:

I must be in the minority, to have hated this book so much. Heroine writes a column called 'miss Independent' but is far from being it. She cannot make up her mind and decide what her basic life values should be and keeps changing them as she changes her boyfriend to suit 'them'. How independent is that? Does anyone sense a doormat here?
'Hero' is an insufferable hunter who shoots animals for his pleasure and then claims to be an environmentalist.

Author portrays Texans in a negative light by showing that they are voracious meat eaters who will cry if they do not get their daily dose of meat. I don't believe that is true? She also indirectly shows that vegans are self-absorbed people who care ONLY about animals and will refuse to help any human. Which is quite ridiculous because the whole concept of veganism is to be fair and nice to everyone. How insulting.

I think she wanted to justify Jack's hunting as acceptable by creating an 'insensitive to babies' (number 1 thing ladies would not accept)vegan ex-boyfriend.

In fact, some people even say that Jack helped the heroine out of her half-hearted veganism. Half-hearted my foot! Why on earth is she always living by her boyfriend's rules? Again-back to the independence issue. Why would someone change their dietary preferences unless they love the other person completely and whole heartedly? Obviously Ella wasn't in love with Dane from the beginning, anyone could see that. So why the heck was she in the relationship? For the sake of telling everyone she had a boyfriend? For sex? Because it was cool? And then again she changes her food habits when she gets a new non-veg boyfriend. Some independence. Huff. Really-TSTL. Jack and Ella don't even use precautions when they jump into bed. Excuse me, but isn't this book also about unmarried women having babies and the post delivery difficulties? Um?

And what on earth is the point of bringing out all this? Does Kleypas really hate the veggies? And the best part is that, most readers don't even realize how she is creating a bad name for them! It is written in such a subtle and indirect manner. Gah!

Now that you have read my rant. (I am guessing you have.) And assuming that the time travel does not work and I am unable to kill Jack in my zombie or mutated monster mode, then I hope the deer will do the job.

Like this.



And this.



Or maybe the murder could be done in a little more seductive manner. It is a romance novel after all.



Good. All done now. Suffer Jack! Suffer! And take Ella along with you.



Gosh. I am feeling terribly vicious today. I think I will go butcher some cabbages now. In vegan style.

Well said Pamela.
