I was really looking forward to reading Miss Wonderful, but after reading 100 pages and not really getting into it, I decided to put it down. It seemed like it had a good plot and some strong characters, however I just was unable to enjoy it, I was almost skimming, forcing myself to read it. I don't know why when I have always enjoyed all of her other books so far. I do plan on reading more from this author, however I don't know about the rest of this series. I do plan on one day re trying reading this once again, see if I like it in the future. I have so many books that I want to get to, that I don't want to spend 2-3 days trying to force myself to read it to the point of it becoming a chore.
