Romance

I enjoyed this. There was a tendency to tell what happened rather than show in spots and I was actually taken aback by it in the first chapter. Kind of like 'surely I didn't just read a line that basically said "after that they became best friends!" The banter between the hero and heroine was lovely. I liked the bumbling hitman. I was pleased that he didn't turn out to be a crazed stalker but rather gave her up to keep her safe. I did feel like the dead wife of the hero was given such short shrift that there was really no point in having her in there at all. The epilogue was too pretty like a 5 year old was telling a story. "And he lives in a castle, and he's a Laird oh and then he's an Earl."

Still an amusing way to spend the evening. ( )

Not for me. Couldn't get into it. I let the audiobook run on but couldn't detect a story... ( )

I enjoyed her book, as usual I love her heros, and I didn't want to stop reading. I was also amused by her bad guy. He gave me a couple chuckles. ( )

Lyra Prescott is a documentary film student, who when stopping at a yard sale where the angry wife of a very rich man is giving everything away for free, picks up something she's not even aware she has. And someone else needs it and will stop at nothing to obtain it.

I thought the book was okay but in retrospect it was lacking any originality. Lyra, who is said to not fall into bed with anyone on a whim, falls into bed with Sam in a matter of days. Every character seems to be either the most attractive woman to grace the planet or have the most chiseled body known to man. While both characters were very likable I didn't feel like she spent enough time focused on them. There were so many subplots and other characters' narratives that it got bogged down. There were a few subplots that could have been left out of the book entirely and it wouldn't have made much of a difference to the plot. 2 stars and that was being generous. ( )
