I liked this one a lot more than the last SM book I read. However, I'll start with the bad first. The romance, unfortunately wasn't good enough. I have an intense dislike for Cal. There were too many strikes against him. A serious part of me wanted her to forget all about him and find someone else who's actually worthy.   

Gloria, what a piece of work. She's as much a bitch as Jed Titan's an asshole. Way to go with writing antagonists, SM.

Now what I liked about this book, the secondary characters. They provided a lot of laughs and smiles. Reid, especially caught my eye. What can I say, I have a thing for charming guys plus he's was a baseball pitcher. I liked his relationship with Penny, the way he was there for her, how he beat up Cal for making her cry. Walker is intriguing and I liked him right at the beginning just for the fact that he's a marine. I don't even know what to say about Dani. She was really put through the ringer in this one but I look forward to seeing her build herself back up. And Naomi with her strong personality, how could I not like her. Her past was heartbreaking and I hope to read more about her.

Overall, it was good, just not amazing but I'm eager to read the other Buchanan books.

Ceci What i liked about this book was how unconventinal it was. I don't think we could find a lot of books where the main characters where already married and now are divorced. Then the heroine is pregnant. I never read a romance novel with those issues. The hero was an ass from the beggining to the end of the book and he didn't deserve her but i loved reading about their marriage. It was really interesting story. One of my fave scenes is where penny confronts Cal about Lindsay and how her whole marriage was totally doomed from the beggining without her knowledge. I thought it was a really strong scene!


Edna I like those storylines and admire SM for going that route especially the divorce one because it's a first for me. I would have given this a much higher rating but I couldn't get over Cal. I agree, he didn't deserve her plus Penny didn't make him grovel longer.

Penny had it right dead on. That scene broke my heart. It was pretty depressing hearing that he didn't exactly love her before and just was waiting for her to walk out. It made it really hard to believe he changed over a new leaf and actually loved her now.


Anica I actually didn't really liked this one so much. If you ask me, the next books are way better. So I am curious what you think of them. :)


Edna I'm a little over 1/3 into Walker's book and so far I'm really liking it! It's a lot better than the first one.


Anica Ha! I felt the exact same thing. :)
