I read that scene the first time I read the book and haven't been able to read it again. It's just too upsetting. That whole book is so emotional - I spend half my time wanting to protect Zarek from all the insults and tortures of his life and the other half wanting to jump him. -- RBL Dark Hunter Board

In reply to: Jolene 's message, "I just wanted to say that I am reading Zarek's Dance with the Devil for the 4th time this week. I LOVE this book! I still cried when I re-read the scene where he tries to buy some bread but ends up being sold. Oh my God!! My hubbie thinks I'm crazy, telling me "you know he's not real, right?" The hell he ain't!" on 16:46:35 07/09/06 Sun

[> [> LOL,Beth-I'm the same way-he either needs cuddling and comfort or groping and fondling...heh heh. I cried many,many times while reading his book,and I still do when doing a re-read.I LOVE him,he is my very fave DH,and if Adam Black didn't exist,Zarek would be my # 1 man altogether. I know he's my # 1 tortured hero,that's for sure. -- Boadicea, 10:58:49 07/12/06 Wed [1]

[> [> [> Well, for the first time I think Adam Black has a little competition!! It's pretty close, but Adam wins by a hair. It's the devilish charm and sex appeal. But Zarek is firmly in the number two spot for my slightly pathetic fantasies ;-) The book was just so emotional. It's been a very long time since a book's had that effect on me. I think the last was Mary Lynn Baxter's "A Day in April" (my all-time favorite). I just got started on Valerius' story. Sounds good!! -- Jolene, 20:03:38 07/12/06 Wed [1]

[> [> [> [> OOh,Jolene,you will LOVE STN-it will blow you away,all the stuff that happens in that book-and Valerius ain't too shabby ,either! *G* -- Boadicea, 07:32:53 07/13/06 Thu [1]

[> [> [> [> [> It was so action-packed!! I especially liked the Simi-Nick subplot. Hmm, sounds like Nick's story will be quite fascinating! And Valerius sure ain't!! I actually liked Tabitha better than Astrid. She had guts and let him know EXACTLY what she wanted and HOW! I can appreciate that! -- Jolene, 11:40:34 07/13/06 Thu [1]

[> [> [> [> [> [> Yep,Tabitha is my all-time fave heroine-totally gutsy and kick-a$$! But still casring and compassionate.Love her to death! -- Boadicea, 22:35:52 07/13/06 Thu [1]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Confession time - I initially hated the thought of Tabitha being a heroine. She was far too "Let's jump in and hit something - someone else can think about if it was a good idea later!!!!" My opinion changed drastically through STN, and she was perfect for Val to shake up his buttoned-down little world. -- Beth, 22:53:31 07/17/06 Mon [1]
