I am sorry..i tried..but I could not get past the first few paragraphs. Is it just me, or do you shudder when she refers to Jean_Claude as "My sweetie"?

I do. I even shudder when she refers to Richard as her sweetie. I also mega shuddered when JC used his (thank god never to be repeated) euphemism for sex, "the wicked dance" or whatever tripe that was. The naughty dance. The vertical mambo. I don't even remember, I just know it made me want to weep tears of blood.

I do not only shudder, when she calls Jean-Claude "my sweetie", I also shudder, when I read the character assassination of Ronnie. Tripple digits?? WTF? Is that now a contagious disease in the perimeter of St. Louis? (I know, I know, we had the YAABI discussion already. But it still makes me see red)

The cover is horrendous. Bondage in combination with a dancing shoe and a ballerina in a way to small corset. If she would dare to dance with that thing, she would not only flash the room, she would also be unable to move her upper body. But to be honest, it's not as bad as the "micah" cover. That looked more like one of the sappy romances cover, than all the others.
