I'm glad you liked my Review, and the Author's Guest Post, and I do hope you read it, as for me, I read a story, that yes, has a huge controversial topic, but in this fictional story, I had a more neutral approach, and I think the character development, especially on Isabel's end really helped me to understand her more, her choices, and by the last page, I honestly wanted to read more, so hope you read it soon :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06048265689542350148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7417095412584211620.post-38068801130492996472012-10-11T16:51:38.254-07:002012-10-11T16:51:38.254-07:00Thank you for your insight, and for visiting today...Thank you for your insight, and for visiting today :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06048265689542350148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7417095412584211620.post-62279881687348088182012-10-11T16:50:22.404-07:002012-10-11T16:50:22.404-07:00Thanks for stopping by and glad you liked it!Thanks for stopping by and glad you liked it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06048265689542350148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7417095412584211620.post-90219860391487780662012-10-11T16:49:44.232-07:002012-10-11T16:49:44.232-07:00Thank you Bella, for stopping by!

There are the obstacles and the hints of when reality sets in, when society looks at their relationship, and there too, I think you did a great job showing us how society, other people, looked at their secret relationship, so there you go, it was a great fictional story :) <br />Just wanted to also say, that it was wonderful hosting you, and I really look forward to the sequel, and I'm sure it will be a page-turner! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06048265689542350148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7417095412584211620.post-46978638083223113542012-10-11T16:35:44.581-07:002012-10-11T16:35:44.581-07:00Thanks for letting me participate! :)Thanks for letting me participate! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06048265689542350148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7417095412584211620.post-78061490707667774042012-10-11T13:59:18.886-07:002012-10-11T13:59:18.886-07:00I don't see the need to place it in one catego...I don't see the need to place it in one category when it is such an unique story.

I think that teens (14-19), especially girls, sometimes have these feelings and experiences--being attracted to, and sometimes having relationships with, older authority figures. For all the incidents that we hear about in the news, there are so many more that we don't hear about. I would rather a teen live out the fantasy in a novel than in real life.<br />catherinelee100 at gmail dot comCatherine Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14998035693869891918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7417095412584211620.post-90029928207211764252012-10-11T03:05:18.944-07:002012-10-11T03:05:18.944-07:00Thanks for hosting.

Your thoughts are balanced and well-conceived and you were able to enjoy the intriguing and controversial elements of the story. "Tainted Love', the sequel, promises to answer many questions and is going to be yet another page-turner...I can promise that!<br /><br />Sweetest Taboo is now available on Amazon at http://amzn.to/VSXtHfAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202006401788673467noreply@blogger.com
