review 1: This was okay. Nothing outstanding, but still entertaining enough for a late night read. The author's writing style is just not my cuppa. There is a line of dialogue, then a paragraph or more of the thought behind that one line. Then the other character responds, another one line of dialogue, and another paragraph explaining why the character made the comment. The entire story. I lost interest half way through the book, but my curiosity of how Tyler was going to take the truth, the story behind the plot, is the only reason I finished. But I skimmed. A lot. This is just my preference, it was still a good story for the basic fluff romance with the HEA, winged unicorns and rainbows. I simply prefer something with more of an edge and less vanilla. Good 18 to early 20 something... more read.
review 2: I could not make myself like Rennie. No matter how hard I tried it didn't happen.Spoilers Spoilers Spoilers So when the book begins Rennie is accidentally "butt dialed" by her fiancé. The man she is going to marry the very next day.. Granted she did hear some horrible things... But nothing so crazy and extreme that warrants her actions. He does love her but feels pressured into marriage and he doesn't want kids anytime soon. From this, she leaves him at the alter and dissapeared while pregnant with his baby. Fast forward ten years and by some stroke of fate they run into each other. Rennie is now a widow a fact she always seems to throw in his faces. She lies A LOT!!! About the kids age, her late husband. All the while justifying keeping a child from his father because he wasn't ready most new parents don't feel ready. My biggest pet peeve was how she constantly reminded him that her husband was a father to the child all the while forgetting that it was her own fault that he was not there for his kid. You never told him and you dissapeared that is why he wasn't a father... She really annoyed me... But the best part was when she admitted that she pressured him... I was lost... I skipped a lot because I just couldn't stand her in the end the end up together I dnt think I could do it.. less
