review 1: I really liked this author's writing style. I was happy to keep reading and find out what happened next. Not quite a book that I'd stay up late reading. It took me a while to finish but I liked the story. I was a bit annoyed with the way everyone treated ex-girlfriend. It seemed like someone would have put her back in her place instead of everyone just quietly letting her have control of things when she felt like it. All of the major characters seemed so strong and yet they just stepped back whenever this girl said she wanted anything. The other odd thing to me was that there was no safe-sex talk in the book. No condoms, no pill, nothing. I kept waiting for it to become a plot device with a pregnancy or something, but there was nothing like that either. It just n... moreever came up at all.
review 2: This book started a little slow but picks up rapidly. Once the action moves to California the reader is hooked. The setting is more real than in any of her books since "Night Swimming". Moore really makes you see the beauty and appeal of the ranch. Laura Moore's usual style of two great characters whose hang-ups prevent them from seeing the greatness of the other at first is very appealing, yet frustrating, you want to shake the characters and tell them to wake up already. The first love scene is halfway thru the book but the sexual tension leading up to it is killer. Too often the sex scenes start to take over a story line (OMG, I'm getting old) but here they add to the story. The heroine is vulnerable and strong at the same time which is a hard combo to make believable and the hero is just plain sexy. I really look forward to reading Reid and Quinn's stories. less
