Ami's Hoard

Urgh, I didn't like this as much as book #1. I thought that Oscar Woodhaven was sweet and I sympathize for him -- his loneliness and how people just used him and befriended him for money. But I had more issues than my sympathy over Oscar.

My issues were four-fold:

1) I didn't particularly enjoy gold-digger stories,

2) I wasn't charmed by Julian, I was pissed off on how he broke Oscar's heart, and he wasn't particularly admirable for his attitude (he thought working in trade as something "low class" and he was lazy, he though the the only to get out from his poor situation was to marry a rich girl. HMPH!@!#)

3) I thought Oscar and Julian was lacking chemistry (unlike Ben and Cavin from book 1)

4) I thought Julian didn't do enough groveling and the ending was cut rather abruptly.

Thus, my 2.5 stars. I still would like to read #3 and the prequel though...
