Customer Reviews

Four and a half stars

I really liked this book. I've read all Ms. Griffin's books, and this one was a nice change of venue. I liked the fact that Hatch wasn't well-to-do, but really had to struggle, like so many of us do. I've always liked the way this author leaves out all the senseless gushy-gush and didn't have Skye take one look at Hatch and fall in love with her. It was a love story, but a realistic one. Hatch's sister Chantal was real sassy and sometimes pushed limits, typical for teenagers. And I loved the ending.

Contemporary romance? I think not!

After reading other books by this author, I was more than a little bit disappointed with this one. When I read romance I expect to find some romance in the book. The storyline was a cute little cinderella and Prince Charming type but it lacked one thing I look for in a love story: ROMANCE. It took 200 pages for the hero and the heroine to even kiss, and then only a friendly peck on the lips. In the meantime he is seen with two other women while she sits back like a wallflower and wait on him to notice her. I am not saying I was looking for hot and heavy [love] but there was absolutely no romantic feelings in this book. If it hadn't been for the two younger sisters and the grandmother i would have put the book down fifty pages in.Try one of Ms. Griffin's earlier books for a better read, this one just did not make the grade.
