review 1: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I thought the characters were well developed and the plotline was interesting.The only things I deplored werethe typos that weren't caught...and there were far too many of them: "Donna Karen" for Donna Karan, "and" for an, "wear' for where, "he" for the, "not" for know, "my" for me, "with an with" for (Something I couldn’t figure out."I hope the author who has great talent can find someone better than whoever did this book to proofread her next works for her.
review 2: Maggie is NOT my type of romantic heroine. Yes, she can be pretty funny but her narrow focus has been limited to taking care of all the men in her life (younger brother Marty, her embezzling former fiancé, little Josh & Kenny and lastly, their father, Neil) a... morehead of her own well being. Now, I admire people who unselfishly take care of others. But not if the result is the caretaker's own emotional and personal growth is stunted. Except for her dead mother whom she converses with in her mind, Maggie has no female friends or positive role models, and the rest of the women in this book are either flighty or overbearing. She has lived a very small life and doesn't know or want any better. Heroine in distress, indeed.In contrast, Neil grew up well off, but decided to become a Navy Seal to rebel from his family. He's suffering from PTSD and is gone most of the time on dangerous missions around the world, while Maggie stays home with his kids, waiting for him. There's unresolved emotional baggage on both sides, and the inequality in their personal lives made her financially dependent on him from beginning to end.If she did not have Neil in her life, she would be homeless, penniless and jobless. Their quick-to-bloom romance did not work for me, and their broken halves do not make a whole. Maggie and Neil needed rescuing from themselves, but not necessarily with each other. less
