My rating:
Blurb:Laine waited for her handsome new husband, Daniel Flynn, to come to her on their wedding night...knowing that their marriage was a sham. Daniel didn't love her--he was just fulfilling a promise he'dmade to take care of her....
So Laine fled--a married woman, but still an innocent!
Two years later, broke and vulnerable, Laine has to face Daniel again. And this time Daniel will take the wedding night that should have been his....
3.5 stars — This was one of those Harlequins that I kept because I enjoyed, and I guess I decided to reread it to see what current Lenore thinks. The thing is, the things I enjoyed are still there and I can see why I was sucked in. There’s a guilty pleasure about reading books like this. I reread it in one sitting (I’m sure much to my husband’s dismay since it’s a paperback, so I had my side light on until 2am).
I enjoyed the slow retelling of what happened in the past — I forgot that that was what most of the book entailed, not stuff in the present. Again, there’s something that hits me about a crush that turns into love, and I can’t help but be sucked in to stories where the heroine is treated abominably…what does that say about me? That’s weird right?
BUT. But. The problem is that the entire love story is predicated on poor communication and assumptions…which kind of drives me insane. And worse than that, there are occasions where they’re each fucking MEAN to the other. Like they say horrible things either to push the other away or reacting out of hurt. And present Lenore just can’t abide by that anymore.
The good news is I can now give away this paperback! I totally get why I enjoyed it, hence why I gave it the half star bump. But it’s not something I’ll want to come back to.
