The candy bars were a bit silly, almost like stretching it too far. And I don't like the name "Theo" although that doesn't have anything to do with the story! lol Maybe as I start to get into better books and more reviews I'll start to be more harsh!Monroe Dawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17298179199203735910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360497760016426040.post-49584610965781381152009-05-30T13:11:35.326-07:002009-05-30T13:11:35.326-07:00I hated it from the very first chapter where it wa...I hated it from the very first chapter where it was played for laughs when Lucy chocked on the candy. That was a traumatic moment and it just bothered me tremendously that it was written as funny. As someone who will NEVER be a size zero - the scene bothered me a whole bunch. I didn't like the fact that they became a couple until after she lost all the weight, I thought the candy bar sabatoge thing silly and finally, because there is a great deal of shallowness in me *g*, a hero who was dressed in training shorts for most of the time just didn't make my cool clothes in a book list - heh heh.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360497760016426040.post-53140619759488710762009-05-30T11:36:06.763-07:002009-05-30T11:36:06.763-07:00Oh No!!!

And not only is the dog cute - he's ADORABLE and one of the main characters of the book. And I'm not a dog lover :)<br />And Daisys Back In Town is one of the few Rachel Gibson books that was a DNF - for the same reason. Mothers who don't tell the hero they are a father is my biggest hot button.<br />Have you read See Jane Score? That's my favourite Gibson book.<br />And another book in a similar vein - though not completely is Hard Lovin' Man by Lorraine Heath. I LOVE that book and by jove - I now have my Reread book for the ReRead Challenge!!Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360497760016426040.post-78218061925585078832009-05-28T03:14:07.435-07:002009-05-28T03:14:07.435-07:00Thanks for the recommendation!

I just finished this book not long ago myself and I think you enjoyed it more than I did. I love Susan Donvan's writing and I adored Riley. And I love the best friends as children turning into lovers aspect of it. Where it fell down for me, was the fact that it took Kat so long to tell Riley about his son. I liked Kat - I did - but I thought it tremendously selfish of her to keep Riley in the dark and lie to son thus depriving him of a father. I could understand her being so devastated when she first left - it was one blow after another - but to keep father and son apart for so long for no real reason - she lost a lot of points from me for that.<br />One thing I did get quite a kick out of was Riley's whacked out ex-fiance.<br /><br />And while I'm still here - I LOVE the layout of your blog!Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.com
