review 1: This was a quick book (made even quicker when I skimmed several portions, if I am honest). I asked myself why I was reading it about 20 pages in, and I asked the same question a few pages from the end. I was hoping for something more from the plot, and the characters were a bit flat. All that said, I am hopeful that the next novel by this author will be more fine-tuned in the areas this one was lacking.
review 2: 2.5* really. Read/skimmed it in one sitting. I didn't really like the main character, Emma, which was a bit of a problem. I know she was meant to be depressed (understandably) about her life as a single mother, but she was no more likeable in the flashbacks to her childhood and single days. I found the plot strangely unsuspenseful and the scenes where ... moreshe and Rafe kept popping over to France totally unbelievable. Rafe was a bit thin on the personality front (apart from being "a nice guy") and oddly believed Emma's story, even after the DNA test had seemingly disproved it. I'm not sure what setting part of the story in France added to anything. less
