review 1: It was a cute story. You really never knew some of the stuff that was going on until the very end, which was a nice surprise with this type of story.I hate stories that has the characters fall madly in love with each other in a matter of days or weeks, as what happened in this book. Could they care for each other a lot in a couple days? Sure. Could they decide to date after a couple of days? Yeah, why not. Could they fall head-over-heels in love in a couple days? Not a chance.Other than that, it was a cute, simplistic read. Not one I would pay for necessarily, but it was free, so that made it better. Don't get me wrong, the writing itself isn't bad, it's just the story line and believe-ability was lacking a tad bit.Not the best, but certainly not the worst I've ever read. ... moreGood if you're a hopeless romantic.
review 2: Aside from being unrealistic, the story wasn't bad. Nice girl meets boy, who is a client of the company she works for, gets engaged, then breaks it off, but decides to keep the hotel room she booked for their honeymoon. Especially after she finds out he married someone else and wanted to use the room for his honeymoon. So far, so good. However, here is where it gets a little outlandish. She jokingly tells her friend and neighbor that she would love to rub it in her ex-fiance's face that she was not staying at the hotel alone, but with a groom of her own. A rent a groom. And what happens? An extremely attractive man rings the doorbell of her hotel suite, pretending to be said groom. Now, any sane single woman would not let said man in her room without confirming her friend was the one that hired him since no one else knew what she fantasized about, right? Nope. Now I do give the author credit...it was written well enough where you just might be able to believe it is possible that a modern woman is this trusting, but still. Ok, I'll overlook that for the sake of enjoying the story. Then things just continue to make me question what sane woman would continue with the farce beyond dinner...and continue it does. There is a bit of mystery here and it all finally makes sense at the end so overall, I did enjoy reading this. Just take it with a grain of salt...things just do not happen like this! less
