l read the review and interview of this book on "Romancing the Book." l was lntrlgled by the author and the book sounded so good that l ordered lt immediately. l'm trying to stay on a budget, so l have to be careful not to go over.l liked the book right away, but l'd planned to give lt only four stars because of a "bathroom" joke Angelle made in the beginning (that kind of humor just isn't funny to me, but l've found out through the years that things l think are funny make other people look at me and go "huh?" Also, some of Cane's inner monologues were filled with a lot of cussing.l kept reading because l still liked the book. l so identify with Angelle because l am also a klutz. Yesterday at work, my coworker talked about my klutziness because two other coworkers had tripped earlier, so her worry for me made me identify with a kindred spirit.  l loved Cane, too, because, although he was hot and gorgeous, he was a regular guy and even admitted to being a nerd sometimes.When l got to the chapter about the visit to Angelle's hometown, l knew l could not give this book just a measly four stars. l had many favorite moments in the book like the parade, the ending when Cane proposes, and the scene where Angelle teaches him to dance, and the love scene, which was lovely. Angelle's family, her support system, totally won me over. l had fun vlsltlng the small town and was listening to CDs (yes, l'm also old school) of New Orleans party music and Fats Domino for my own soundtrack. Although l've never been to New Orleans, l felt like l was right there with the parties and parade.l haven't read the book about Jason and Colby, but l plan to order lt, and hope there will be more books about these wonderful people. Now lf y'all wlll excuse me, l have some old photos of my mom and dad's trlp to New Orleans (before l came along) to look at.
