The things you hated about the book are what I loved." Then I realized that it makes no sense to drop hints because most people are so set in their ways they wouldn't get it anyway. I don't get into <br />it anymore. I heard a saying that I try to live by:<br />Fight with pigs & you get dirty too.Mary Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09470057739043473942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-36621374311875342532010-03-24T19:05:25.340-06:002010-03-24T19:05:25.340-06:00I was good.

I never, ever comment on bad reviews, even if the reviewer gets facts wrong, because it would only make me look defensive.

I know I give Gabe all the love but I love Kat just as much. <br /><br />It's ok, can't please everyone and there are folks out there who think Cormac McCarthy is an idiot. YOU got an "A" from DEAR AUTHOR!!

At Goodreads: 77% gave it a 5. 15% gave it a 4. 6% gave it a 3.<br />I don't see that as negative. <br /><br />I don't remember Kat crying that much unless you count her grandfather dying or Gabe falling of a cliff. DUH!!<br /><br />I'm going to have to add a new rule to the No suck rule.<br />You can't only see the soso reviews (typical author)LOLMary Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09470057739043473942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-53766264962835594842010-03-22T21:07:04.128-06:002010-03-22T21:07:04.128-06:00Yes, Mary, I'm afraid you've read them all...Yes, Mary, I'm afraid you've read them all at this point (if you've read Heaven Can't Wait). So all that leaves is historicals.<br /><br />There have been some negative reviews. Someone responded to a thread about the book on AAR with a negative review. And there was this one that arrived in my e-mail inbox today: http://www.impressionsofareader.com/2010/03/review-naked-edge-by-pamela-clare.html<br /><br />Plus there are a few folks on Goodreads who didn't like the story. <br /><br />The one thing I can't understand is why anyone would view Kat as weak. Say what you want about Gabe or the plot or anything else, but Kat as a weak, crybaby? That I don't understand. <br /><br />It is impossible to please everyone, however. Kat is who she is, and she's my favorite heroine.Pamela Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308504469372100650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-17106599252402279862010-03-22T21:00:56.376-06:002010-03-22T21:00:56.376-06:00All About Romance: another good review.

Hugs back to you.<br /><br />Hi, Debbie — Interesting that your grandparents received commodities. Were they Native? A dear old Lakota wicasa wakan I know — the one I modeled Grandpa Red Crow after — pronounced every syllable of the label on the canned spam so that it came out, "Lunch-ee-on meat." LOL! <br /><br />I bet Indian tacos are pretty common in Oklahoma. They are here in Colorado, too. Not so much luncheon meat, though.<br /><br />Hi, Mary G — Thanks for sharing that bit with us. Obviously I didn't read too closely, did I? And, yeah, no microwave in my car or in the desert anywhere that I saw. :-)<br /><br />And thanks so much for sharing the news about the TGTBTU review. I was thrilled when I read it, though I'd love to know what the reviewer considers a "signature" sex scene. :-)<br /><br />Hi, Linda — Be sure to tell me how it goes.Pamela Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308504469372100650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-80042510504893577772010-03-22T14:29:33.426-06:002010-03-22T14:29:33.426-06:00Awesome review for NE at Good Bad & Unread blo...Awesome review for NE at Good Bad & Unread blog.<br />I can't get that book out of my head.Mary Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09470057739043473942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-45569263668706876912010-03-22T12:05:48.388-06:002010-03-22T12:05:48.388-06:00This looks yummy!

Now I can go just to see the horses. LOL<br /><br />Thanks for the recipe and the links. My grandparents received commodities. We thought the were living high on the hog with those. LOL My grandmother would make chicken and dressing, the big chunk of cheese with Wonder bread was heaven.

(Commods also include such luxury items as "luncheon meat," i.e., glorified spam.) But I figured real milk would be tastier.<br /><br />And that should say "paper towels," not "power towels."
