And he wouldn't be able to warn little fearless Tatiana to stay of the streets and areas that are being particularly targeted.<br />Yes, it's effed up, but Alexander and Tatiana are both paying a heavy price for his continued presence in their home. Simons definitely drives home the point that no one emerges from this way unscathed!Sirenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13242656468311088519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336580558754211816.post-47588821558083534042011-06-08T08:29:48.301-04:002011-06-08T08:29:48.301-04:00Hildy, definitely agree there, Tania has to accept...Hildy, definitely agree there, Tania has to accept a lot of the blame for her own misery, and this coming from a hardcore Tania fan... maybe more than Claire (gasp!). But... her doing that, being that way, is a lot of what makes Alexander love her so much in the first place, it's who she is. I mean, I think his first thought on seeing her across the road, eating her ice cream, was "I want some of THAT!" But once he talked to her... experienced her... he was done. "Having her" her was not enough... she had to be his, forever.Claynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336580558754211816.post-7533354852749722852011-06-08T07:25:18.240-04:002011-06-08T07:25:18.240-04:00So apparently I'm not finished. :)

I need to defend my man, Alexander!<br /><br />DEEP BREATH, Hildy, DEEP BREATH.<br /><br />I know all of this sucks, but when does Tatiana get some blame here? She made him promise to lie with his brave and indifferent face. She has continually pushed him to her sister and now has to live with this. His game of 'footsie' was just a way of saying that "This totally sucks but I haven't lost sight of you." He had to do that because her annoying, PERSISTENT sister was just begging him to marry her, which he had to get his way out of. He has to play this game and DASHA won't stop bugging him.<br /><br />Tatiana, Dasha, their family, and communism, need to take up some of the blame.<br /><br />Okay, end of rant. :)<br /><br />Keep reading!!!Hildyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13139015699969393234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336580558754211816.post-41881631508396069012011-06-08T01:03:09.412-04:002011-06-08T01:03:09.412-04:00CAROL...

One thing I absolutely love about these books is that they are so real, especially the last book. Paullina doesn't sugar-coat things or make them too easy. It's real life in real situations sometimes horrific but I swear you'll end the series feeling very good about everything!<br /><br />Ladies help me out here - we gotta talk Carol down from the ledge! lolBrandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17301165190436535589noreply@blogger.com
