review 1: I love this author. I thought the setting was going to be fun - Monet divorced, ex-counselor, and very insecure and Nick, the hunk of a man who is a male model. I felt that Monet's baggage became boring after reading and reading about it. Wished there had been more action. But having said that, it was nice that Nick made the changes in his life so he could stay with Monet - the love of his life. Best said was when Monet was telling Nick that her mother actually believes those romance novels come true. He answers by saying, "Sometimes they do, Momo. Not very often. But sometimes they do.I'm a hopeless romantic - I love reading good, clean romance novels. And I'm glad I'm married to the love of my life now for 21 years!
review 2: 3.5 starsHummmm, the first line o... moref the blurb above has me humming. Can't you be opposites AND soul mates? I sure hope so because my husband is my polar opposite on most things. :) Opposites attract and all that.It's true that Monet has taken some brutal blows. She is moving forward though and finding peace in the good work she is doing with children and horses. The hunky model that shows up at her stable has Monet humming too. Even though she doesn't like to admit it.First impressions can be so off base. That's how it is in this book between the main characters. Neither one from their first impressions has any idea what life has dealt the other. As they try to push aside the growing attraction (but don't really succeed) they begin to discover more about each other that changes the way they think and behave. There were moments when I really wanted to strangle Monet but honestly, her struggle with Nick's intimate photo shoots would leave me a bit wary too. So, I completely got where she was coming from but there was some other incidents that I thought she needed a good spanking. :) She was often mean and judgmental, not asking Nick about her concerns but assuming she knew. She could sure dish it out to poor Nick but she didn't always walk the walk herself. Nick was patient, always trying to prove himself and change for Monet. Poor guy.I enjoyed the journey of healing and attraction in this book. It was a grand diversion on a rainy, cold day that found me trying to keep warm, curled up on the couch. Clean romances are my favorite and this was definitely one for the clean romance list!There are some Christian themes in this book. Monet shares some of her Christian beliefs and talks about morals and believing she is a daughter of God. I thought I would mention that in case you cared one way or another. less
