Review # 1 was written on 2016-07-08 00:00:00 James Alexandre 2 stars for the story, 3 stars for I don't know what but it made me finish the book. Let's talk about pushing the wrong button in this review. I usually can find some compassion in me to see pass rudeness in misguided masculinity. My asshole radar in Romanceland is a lot less sensitive than most fellow ladies I know. But dude, Hunter, you are an asshole. That being said, Elyssa the heroine, didn't do better than Hunter in terms of not pushing the wrong button for me. She was running after Hunter like, and I don't enjoy saying this, a bitch in heat. Guy didn't want you. Or at least his mind was telling him it was a bad idea. Innocent Elyssa though oh let me heal you with my love. You must feel something for me. Let me love you. Let me go talk to you at night and try to convince you that I am not like your unfaithful dead wife. Hunter was a ass. And Elyssa was an idiot. In the end the story never really convinced me that Hunter loved Elyssa. Elyssa was in love with the idea of being in love. It seemed like that because Hunter didn't really redeem himself in this book. So it made Elyssa's love look idiotic. I have read maybe 4 books by this writer. One thing I do like about her is that she wastes no time. She gets to the point and tells a compelling story. That's why I was able to finish the book, though I must say, Elizabeth Lowell has done better than Autumn Lover.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-02-18 00:00:00 Justin Wong Oh wow what a disaster... I was cruising along enjoying the ride and then the heroine decided that she will play doormat for 75% of the ride while the hero continues to treat her like trash and continually degrade her because he thinks he knows better. I can't decide who I hate more- the jackhole hero or the idiot heroine. I really enjoyed the setup and even went along while the hero compared the heroine to his selfish deceased wife but I thought eventually he would see around that and realize who she really is- but no. It took and incredibly long time and a smack in his face evidence before he realized she wasn't a whore. I wanted to smack him in the head every time he called her a flirt (and by flirt he meant ho) and I wanted to hit the heroine over the head every time she just took what he said and didn't try to defend.... If the guy I liked told me he would gladly give me the "fast sex I'm asking for by swaying my hips back and forth" I would realize he obviously thinks I'm a ho and I should forget trying to change his mind about me cuz obviously he's an arrogant d*ck. Sorry, I don't think I've ever hated a hero as much since the pr*ck in Heartless ; and I would have forgiven the heroine of all her idiocy if **SPOILER** she stood up for her self after the first time they did the deed but of course instead of telling him off then making him come begging she pretty much says I hate you and then has sex with I'm again-- tell me that's not the most doormat-y behavior you have ever read! **END SPOILER** I did like the writing and the set up and the suspense of the ranch issues so Imma give it 2-stars, close my eyes, and walk away before I regret it and 1-star it.
