Ami's Hoard

I don't read Amy Lane anymore -- I used to in my early years of reading MM until I found other others I enjoyed more. Having said that, I must say the cover for this really pulled me in. I didn't know why. Maybe the color of the cover, or the fact that from afar, that blonde guy looked like TinTin? . But still, I decided to wait. Until Mandy reviewed this, and I saw the words "cute and ridiculous, happy and hopeful". That was a good endorsement :)

Guess what, this was fluffy and fairy-tale-like and I really, REALLY enjoyed it. Really! While the story was taken mainly from Zach's perspective and we never really knew what was going on in Sean's mind, I had no trouble enjoying it. Zach's was the prince on the tower -- the Rapunzel -- and in all those fairy tales, we didn't really care about the savior, did we? Well, except for the movie "Tangled", since the hero there was amusing (and he wasn't a prince). I liked the idea of Sean being goofy and so different than Zach .. a knight in so many delightful costume!

I thought the "love in the elevator" storyline was quite refreshing -- it definitely had a unique flair to it. It could happen ... if you watch "Grey's Anatomy" early years, that elevator was a witness of so many kisses and relationship issues *lol*.

It took awhile for them before getting together -- I started to dislike that Ding! by the way -- but it was worth it. The part where Zach was slightly drunk was adorable. I wasn't too happy with how the story progressed afterwards though, it was fast-forwarded, a month turned into another month and another ... I guess I was greedy and wanted more scenes of Zach and Sean after they were being together.

All in all, a story that satisfied me. Although they didn't exchange cellular phone number in this day and age? Seriously? Considering that Zach is a lawyer, and come on, what lawyer doesn't rely on cellular phone??!
