If I didn't know any better I'd have thought that the heroine and hero were teenagers.
Starts out typical but doesn't remain so and I appreciated how the tables turned.
Both hero and heroine tended to act young (see,I didn't call it childish). But at least the hero was a CEO who smiled and wasn't all alpha male...
Let me sum it up: Suppressed heroine. Jilted. Rebound 'physical' relationship. Hero just attracted to her false facade. Not gonna last. The end.
3.75*. dunno where the other guy jumped in from? And guy's thoughts didn't make any sense. Felt really rushed at the end.
The story didn't have enough romance and the reason could have been that Leigh was scared of the cousins doing it - well - if that's the case then don't make them cousins...
Awww. Things got confusing in the middle but still.... aw! When Harlequin itself describes the book as romantic comedy, how can I not read it?
I've come to expect sweetness from Melinda Cross. She did not disappoint.
Amaaaaaaaaaazing book. Amazing adventure, amazing chemistry! A 5 stars read not only for how much I was impressed by the wit of Ms. Anne McAllister =)
I love Jeanne Allan's book. I almost knew what'd happen in this book but that's because I've read most of her books. Her stories either start with a heroine who's strong or a heroine that the hero forces to be stronger and more independent. Can't ask for more than that. Oh, wait you can. I do love my stories with a sprinkling of humor and she delivers on all accounts
Beta-ish hero. Just wish there weren't that whole crises drama and the story had worked out without the hysterics.
Meh - Unbelievable, and not in a good way...
Meh - Already forgot what the story was about - that's never a good sign
The hero was called The Professor too many times.
Just didn't connect with me. Meh.
This review contains spoilersWell...It starts off slow and a little confusing - but when it hits you its with a kaboom! - The heroine falls in love with the hero after reading his handwriting (that's right!) and he feels the same for her although he gives her mixed signals. Turns out he's engaged to another ( a disabled lady) and can not break it up cuz he'd been in an accident from which he came out unscathed but her legs were crushed ( although he admits he doesn't love her). There's a side story about a mutual friend who's the sane one(or insane one, however u look at it) in the bunch and keeps telling them that there's something fishy about the disabled lady loving the hero when its obvious he ruined her life and that she's extracting revenge by making him miserable for the rest of life by shackling him in a marriage he doesn't want. The problem is: Both the hero and heroine are do-gooders to the extreme and would rather sacrifice themselves...
