He was hung *upside down* for 24 hours - by his ankles - how do you come out of that SANE?? And that's just one thing in a long list of horrible things he had to endure...I wonder if he's even the same man he once was; and how this could affect their relationship. I haven't started the next book yet, but I'm really curious to see how and if Alexander has changed.Juliazunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04065771271176209661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336580558754211816.post-35354810788489059792011-06-21T12:17:44.384-04:002011-06-21T12:17:44.384-04:00Brandy, you are FREAKING me OUT right now!

T&A put me through the ringer, and now you're making it sound like Summer Garden might be even MORE depressing?! <br /><br />(BTW, have I mentioned that I LOVE these books??

There...Carol, I love reading your observations! There's so much I'd like to add here, but I don't want to give anything away from the next book. <br /><br />Have to say I was a bit worried with Alexander's sanity during the rescue part. He's been through so much, I can only imagine the truamatic stress he's endured. There were parts when I was really worried...he was hearing things and really freaking me out. I love Paullina's writing, because she shows him as a scarred individual. She shows his imperfections and brutality. After I read this, the only thing I worried about was how he was going to cope with the realities of a normal life after living through such horrific atrocities.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17303207024029820196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336580558754211816.post-27146063623749545872011-06-16T20:02:08.124-04:002011-06-16T20:02:08.124-04:00Ah, I see.

I ...Yes, the 3rd book has been out for a long time. I read the series several years ago and had to pay a pretty penny for the third book because it wasn't easy to track down. I think I payed about $30 for it on Ebay. The release this month is just the mass market US release I think but don't quote me on that. <br /><br />It was funny because I read the first not knowing what I was getting into and then the other two weren't easy to find either. I think I paid $20 for T&A on Amazon and then $30 for Summer Garden on Ebay. Good news though - I only paid a few bucks for Tatiana's Table used on Amazon.Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17301165190436535589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336580558754211816.post-60264997074775815002011-06-16T18:12:46.854-04:002011-06-16T18:12:46.854-04:00It has been released in other countries years ago....It has been released in other countries years ago. My copy was published in 2005. I don't think it has ever been published in the US before now. I had to order mine from the UK. That's why many of us have already read it.Hildyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13139015699969393234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336580558754211816.post-29331970383260936282011-06-16T17:30:50.031-04:002011-06-16T17:30:50.031-04:00Brandy,

And, I think she used some of the 5K for cashmere blankets, etc... but i imagine she has the rest socked away (since dimitri didn't end up needing his share, right). This book left me with a yearning to travel back in time and buy a huge 90+ acre portion of suburban DC/Maryland to live in peace!Sirenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13242656468311088519noreply@blogger.com
