I was drawn to this book by the chaotic blurb. It sounded like a romantic farce and something I would very much enjoy.

Sadly, I was disappointed almost from the outset. I'm not even sure that the story I read matched the blurb.

The writing style did not appeal to me, and I didn't find it an easy read. Several times I didn't understand who was speaking or what was going on, and I question the plausibility of some of the action, such as how Johnny came into the $5 million, and why on earth he'd allow Michael to work for him, let alone live in Sam and Johnny's own home, given their history.

Heaven-sent Mirabella is introduced in the Prologue and is immediately likeable, but I would have liked to have seen her character fleshed out a bit more during the rest of the story.

I also questioned the idea that Sam and Johnny had been married for two years, were all loved-up in that time, and with the arrival of unexpected news, were suddenly unable to talk to each other. They do, however, overly share their doubts and fears with the reader, and I longed to get past this to find out what it was all about.

This one just wasn't for me, I'm afraid. ( )
