Review # 1 was written on 2011-11-01 00:00:00 luis rodriguez This was a tale of two long-time best friends suddenly noticing one another while snowbound at an inn for several days. On its surface, not a bad plot line. Trouble is, it was a completely unconvincing quest for the three magic words. Here's the thing that struck me: They met when she was 5 and he 8. TWENTY-NINE (29) years later...they suddenly find they can't keep their hands off each other. Look, I love stories of long-time friends finally discovering they were meant to be all along. The thing is, you can't just write it the same way you write a story of sudden flaring passion between strangers. It's not going to be the same, and it cheapens love, confusing it hopelessly with lust. It's as if 29 years of friendship mattered far less than a few days of heated glances and kisses. Plus, I was supremely unconvinced by the reasons they suddenly saw one another as attractive members of the opposite sex. She gets duped and essentially kidnapped by an idiot man who wants to elope with her and he goes after her. Well, that much I buy. A good friend would do that. But, upon finding her, he realizes she's not the little girl he had been thinking of her as all this time.... Um....she's 34, not 17. She's had breasts during the vast majority of your years of friendship, even if she was a late bloomer. Her noticing him was a but more believable, since the essential premise is she'd noticed him all along and buried it until he suddenly started looking at her "that way." On the other hand, she doesn't seem to think that nearly three decades of friendship and an intense physical attraction are good enough reasons to get married. How can they base a marriage on such paltry things? "I love you" is a much more powerful formula for a successful marriage. Excuse me while I gag....

Review # 2 was written on 2016-04-06 00:00:00 Mike Mann 2 Dissapointed stars. "His eyes narrowed, and his voice was low and fierce, almost a growl. "You arrogant woman." She blinked at him, shocked. "Arrogant?" "Arrogant," he repeated, looking at her with…distaste? "What do you mean by that?" He gave a harsh laugh, then shook his head. "Your tendency to get involved in everyone's life, even at the expense of your own'it's not about helping other people. It's about your desire to prove that you're better than they are, that you are smarter and more capable. You don't believe they can help themselves, do you?" To be honest ARROGENT and FOOLISH was exactly how the heroine came across half the time in this book. At first I found the scenarios her character created mildly amusing..until it just wasn't. This book had so MUCH POTENTIAL ! With so many amazing secondary characters and a good plot story ! But Alas,the whole thing just didn't come across.I found the ending to be too unsatisfactory and abrupt. :( Would not recommend. Overall,a 2 star.
