It isn't ridiculous to believe that Tyler would be a smoker because he comes from a very poor home life, his mother is a drug addict so it is plausable that he would be exposed to smoking. I think for me it just did not gel with his character, he wanted to get a job and be responsible for his younger siblings, he really wanted a better life for them. He gave up his dreams of studying what he wanted so that he could get into the work force as soon as possible, so apart from the health reasons, the cost of smoking went against what he was trying to do. Also Rory never made any comment about what it was like to kiss Tyler and I thought as a non-smoker herself, it would have been a turn off.<br /><br />Erin McCarthy is a great author and if this one is picquet your interest then I would certainly recommend you give it a go. I am looking forward to the next one. I hope you like itKaren Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01642007005737905844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6416388930682401137.post-28423110641782114242013-05-07T11:51:38.141+10:002013-05-07T11:51:38.141+10:00The cigs can be a real turn-off.

I wonder...Hmm, you got me interested in this one... I wonder, do you mind smoking if it sort of goes with the character? Like, if a character is under duress or psychological pain, I can totally see them smoking or even chain-smoking... Though I gotta say, who the hell buys three packs!? :)<br /><br />I'm adding this one to my TBR, and your blog to my Google Friend Connect :)Nikolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11306130544726821173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6416388930682401137.post-43331081160451671072013-05-03T17:55:22.769+10:002013-05-03T17:55:22.769+10:00Thanks for your honest review Karen, I think I'...Thanks for your honest review Karen, I think I'd feel the same as you, I like my romance reads to give me warm fuzzies.
