I actually hadn’t thought about giving her her own book. Hmmm…. must think of the perfect man. :) Some apt owners will divide a bed-room into half into order to sell it as a two bedroom, which is why you get a lot of tiny, tiny spaces…. Devon’s exactly right.

Relatively new lurker coming out of hiding to say I purchased this book last night after reading the review and it was a treat – truly deserving of the “A” rating. Lots of emotions, lots of humor, and complex relationships between all parties – not just with the main couple but amongst the brothers.

Thanks for the great recommendation and I am eagerly awaiting other A reviews from the DA team!

Does anyone watch Project Runway? Did you see finalist Christian’s room? It’s like a little closet. He kept a pallet in the actual closet that he could pull out to sleep on. It seems like a badge of honor for New Yorkers–”I survived the tiniest apartment.” My sister has a 10 by 10 room and she was thrilled.

Ah – the truth behind the saying “The City that Never Sleeps?” Because they don’t have any room?

I was thinking of the friend Tess set Gabe up with to get the apartment placement.

That’s the one.

I was thinking of the friend Tess set Gabe up with to get the apartment placement. The one who went with Gabe to get Daniel that night he got drunk. And I liked her a lot too.

And no, Jayne, you did not see the heroine from Book 2.

If I’m thinking of the same potential heroine that Jayne was thinking of, is there a chance we might see her in a future book?

(Just curious. I liked her a lot!)

Most of the info on NYC apartments is ‘relatively’ correct. I fudged a bit in some places to make it work, but sadly, NY apt life is a not even CLOSE to Friends or SATC. And no, Jayne, you did not see the heroine from Book 2. I thought about it, almost went there, but no, she was wrong for the part.

Color me surprised, but I am going to go out and buy this book because of Jayne’s review. I’ve never read Blaze and am looking forward to the others in the series as well. Thank you for opening my eyes.
