		<description>@&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-45574&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;VampFanGirl&lt;/a&gt;: lol! Well, Emily did make some stupid decisions. My hope is always that a reader will think she makes up for them, but maybe it was a story that would have worked better as a full-length novel to make up for her early stupidity. 

I think we are all harder on heroines than heroes. I&#039;m a totally heroine-centric reader (and writer) -- so if she doesn&#039;t work for me, the hero can be the Best Character Ever and I still won&#039;t love the book.</description>

		<description>LMAO! I didn&#039;t HATE her! lol! I&#039;m just harsh in general on heroines. But I totally make up for my dislike of Emily in the reviews to come. :)

Thanks for the pimpage! And I&#039;m off to see what the Book Smugglers thought of DEMON FORGED.
