This isnt quite how I now sell this book on our shop floor, partly because THE ARRIVAL is a treasure trove of narrative devices unique to this medium, and exploring those requires either the book in front of you or more precise interior art than I could find online. New, easily hand-held edition, roughly the same size as a standard American comic, although we do still have the album-sized hardcover, should you prefer. ![]()

She acts like a 10 year old child, not like a 22 year old woman. The heroine never catching on the very obvious motives behind the hero’s actions - like undressing her and kissing her. The stupidity of the Heroine, being completely clueless (innocent) about physical attraction (even though she claims to have been around her older brothers) and the hero, deliberately walking around her and standing in front of her naked, hoping to arouse her was too much. I think the combination of a terrible narrator and ridiculous characters was too much. Series: Malory-Anderson Family, Book 3 Unabridged Audiobook Categories: Erotica.
