Blossom Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Has anyone read any of these titles? I know I'm generalising, as I've only read two of these books (by the same author), but I hated them. I thought that they were badly written, repetitive, boring and predictable. I don't like to be negative about books, as I know how it feels for someone to say bad things about your work, but I would never pick up another book by the author, based on the LBD stories. I'm so glad I won these, as I would have felt cheated if I'd bought them! Harsh, but true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen1 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I got two from the library, from different authors and I wasn't impressed with them at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I've got 7, 1 was an OK read but the others are rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leetid Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I have read a few of them, some were good and I went on to get more from the author but the rest were rubbish. It depends on what you want to read and are interested in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemimapd Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I read Lost for Words by Lorelei Mathias and quite enjoyed it, but I don't know about other titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1nS Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I got one but can't remember what it was called now... I didn't like it at all, I found them pretty hard to get into to be honest so I just gave up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I've never heard of them! Are they like Mills & Boon (but perhaps better)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ii Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I always see this title and think you're talking about the actual dress. Imagine my disappointment! *pouts* (Talk about one-track mind!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philipa_Kay Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I've read two of them. I thought one was ok, quite good, but not amazing, the other, although an area I ought to have been interested in, I just didn't click with it at all. So maybe it's just hit or miss?

Rosalind Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I'm feeling a bit bad here. I've actually read 34 Little Black Dress books. I loved a few, some I just finsihed because I started reading them, but I think it has to do with the author you've selected. I have a new one laying by to start reading but at the moment it's going to stay in the book basket on wait until I feel like mindless reading again.

ekimmue Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I had to bump this because I remember reading 2 LBD books I really really liked. So I went on Ebay and purchased the whole collection and I've never been so disappointed! I gave it all away to charity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It felt very 'fake' and predictable in a boring way. Sometimes I don't mind predictability, if it is written in a funny or entertaining way. But this felt not good at all and I won't buy another book from LBD anymore! ;-) Edited May 31, 2012 by MysteryRose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Librarylizzi Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 That's a shame, I'm quite a fan for a little light hearted read in between what i call my "big" books lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlemissbookworm Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I'm curious. This is the first time I've heard about LBD and it looks like it has nothing to do with shopping or clothes. Haha! Can someone please tell me what it's about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
