review 1: It started out all right, with nice normal people (i.e., not billionaires), doing ordinary things. It was enjoyable enough, if you're in the mood for slightly sappy levels of optimism. After awhile, though, it started to wear on me. The hero's resistance to love seemed disproportionate, and the heroine's readiness to start imagining herself as Mrs. Thomas North after two weeks of dating... well, it was bothersome. I mean, I've read romances where the the protagonists are planning marriage after a long weekend together, and although that's ridiculous, that's the world the author establishes. Here, the author has the hero experiencing unease a number of times about the heroine and her family's view of him, and all it did was create a feeling of the heroine being a psychotica... morelly clingy girlfriend like something in a meme. It was cringe-inducing. So it went from a promising start to disappointing.
review 2: Very good book. I loved Annabel. When she showed up at the hospital to be there for her cousin Forrest, she refused to take no for an answer from the serious and logical Dr. North. Not only did she get to stay for the appointment, she even got him to allow her to set up some therapy sessions there at the hospital. He thought the whole pet therapy thing was hogwash, but he couldn't seem to say no. And then he surprised himself and her by asking her out on a date. I really loved the way that she brought some fun and lightness to his life. Thomas had made some mistakes in his past that he attributed to allowing his emotions to get the better of him, so he had decided that he wouldn't allow them that power again. The more time he spent with Annabel, the more he was amazed at how well and quickly she had fit into his life, and that scared him. He didn't want to find himself making mistakes because he was distracted by feelings. I liked his grandmother and the way that she explained things to him that made him finally see the light. The final scene with Thomas at the animal shelter was so sweet. I hope we don't have to wait too long for Forrest's story. less
