JoJo - JJJ (Jo Anna) Janesko I am no certain if you follow Nic from Australia's blog however she does book boyfriends every week and she did one last week of Wesley Rush. He is book boyfriend #25. You should check it out, swoon....

Jessica I dunno, if Olivia had asked me whether or not to read this one I would have told her no. I just don't think it's an Olivia book but hey, I might be wrong :) Lets hope so ^^

I totally loved this one :-D Yeah, we do!

Teccc Thanks :) But Janina has it on her available-for-swapping shelf, and I've asked her if I can get it. So if everything works out she will probably send it to me.

It's yours. I will send it together with Burn Bright tomorrow or on Saturday. Actually, I am very happy to get rid of it ... *coughs*.

oliviasbooks Uhhh? Why should I not like this??? Because of the pseudo-jerk? There's a difference: Wesley is always open about his views on sex and girls. Although he is a player he is never mean or abusive. Plus he thinks of others and there are understandable reasons for his behavior.
I hate those books in which girls swoon over bad boys and never even realize that they are being walked over by shit-with-good-looks. Bianca is a fantastic heroine in my opinion (although I despise the name).

JoJo - JJJ (Jo Anna) Janesko Olivia I don't think you could have said it any better. I loved this book for all of the same reason. Yes, the name could have been different for certain. Oh and who could ask for two better best friends.
