But Anne and Teach had me HOOKED. I couldn&#8217;t eat. I couldn&#8217;t sleep. I couldn&#8217;t watch Mission Impossible with the rest of the fam. I don&#8217;t like swoony romances &#8211; this is not one. Anne is such a smart character; I loved that she didn&#8217;t fall head-over-heels in love and act like a love-sick ninny. I also don&#8217;t like quicky romances, you know &#8211; met you today, in bed an hour later = true love. Blackhearts is not one of those, either. I LOVED the slow, sweet way these two fell in love and I couldn&#8217;t wait to read more.<\/p>\n<p>I really, really, REALLY hope there is a sequel!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Could.
