Let me give you my overall, then I'll point out some of my hiccups (and rationalizations - or not).
This book was well-developed, well written. The characters were relateable and likeable. The supporting cast wasn't as well developed, but they served their purpose. Except Sean. I liked Sean. You've got the good mother meets the nice guy, and you've got cute kids. This book is a nice piece of fluff without any heady stuff to worry about. They get the "yours, mine and ours" kind of conflicts and "what now?" kind of things, but nothing they can't handle.
1. What movie star would want to get involved with a woman with three kids, scooping congealed oatmeal out of the bathtub, to boot? Okay, one comes to mind.
2. The heroine is an architect. LET ME SEE HER HOUSE! I got to see the improvements she made, some of the decor, a lot of the kitchen, but the author posted a photo of her inspiration for Gwynneth (with two n's) house and I totally didn't see that while I was reading (and I saw the picture before I read). That being said, I did enjoy "her room."
3. Her ex-husband walked out on her. Now she's never going to trust another man again. Was that her only relationship? I did want to smack her upside the head a couple of times. She was so very VERY afraid to let anybody in. If I was trembling with fear walking into a romantic interlude, I would bolt for the door. That doesn't scream "oh my god you're so hot!" It says "I don't want this." In addition, it takes a special kind of man to stick around with what she put him through. It is NOT attractive in a heroine. The author did a good job justifying and showing everything, and I did relate to Gwyn working through it in her mind at the end, but it was a little too much for me overall.
One of the barrage of emails I received was "Did you read it yet? Because there's more!" Apparently the sage continues, or the supporting cast will be developed, but no, I'm not inclined to buy it. Not because I don't think it will be good, but because it isn't my cup of tea. I struggle with the millionaire/billionaire trope, which includes movie stars who are too good to be true. That makes it a personal preference, not a ding on the author. This story worked well when I was in a bad headspace with being overworked at the day job - no heavy thinking - but generally I prefer something more.… (plus d'informations)
