I thought I was going to like this book more than the 1st one but the opposite happened. I didn't enjoy this book much, definitely not as much as I liked Book 1.

First of all, I didn't like how the hero behaved and how their whole relationship developed.

It's her who kisses him the first time, it is her who says she loves him the first time. It is even her who proposes to him in the end. I hated all that.

And to make matters worse, when she kisses him first, he rejects her, saying it is not a good idea and they are better as friends. He says she is going through a lot and she shouldn't start a new relationship that soon.

And when he is ready, he doesn't make the first move, he just reminds her of the time she hit on him and he tells her that she should repeat it. Huh, what a lazy boy!!!!

“You’re rambling. What were we talking about before?�

“I was referring to that time you hit on me.�

I freeze.

“You remember.�

Give me strength. “I could hardly forget.�

“Don’t be embarrassed,� he says, as if it makes everything better. “You were drunk and horny and dealing with a lot. Like, more than most people ever have to deal with in a lifetime. I thought you did quite well keeping your shit together.�

“Thanks,� I say drily.

“We all makes mistakes now and then.�

“G°ù±ð²¹³Ù.â€�

“And if we’d gotten involved then, it would have been a mistake.� He stares off at nothing, pondering this for a moment. “A big mistake.�

I slide down. I’d disappear if I could. “Right.�

“Huge, even.�

“You’re doing absolutely nothing for my ego.�

“Huh? Oh. Hang in there.� He pats me on the knee and then goes so far as to leave his hand there lingering for a moment. “The point I’m trying to make, Anna, is that that was then and this is now.�

â€ÂÙ´Ç?â€�

“So you should try again,� he announces with a smile.

“W³ó²¹³Ù?â€�

“Try again,� he encourages. “Come on to me.�

How romantic and sexy, right??? Not!!!

All through the book, I never felt the hero's feelings for her. I never ever believed in his feelings for her. She was really into him but I didn't believe he had as strong feelings for her. Well, once or twice, he talked about his feelings but I wasn't impressed.



As I said, I didn't like the hero. The heroine, Anna, on the other hand, is so very likable. I loved her. She is sweet, strong and I loved how she stood firm and strong when her cheating bastard of a husband apologized and begged her to take him back numerous times. She never considered forgiving him.



Writing:

The book is short - only 178 pages. It is not developed enough and it feels a bit shallow.

The thoughts and feelings of the heroine take lots and lots of pages, with no action or dialogues, which makes it boring most of the time.

It is also full of editing mistakes and sometimes it doesn't flow. It makes you think that some parts in the book are lost.

For example, I didn't understand why the conversation about her ex cheating on her abruptly turns into a conversation about the houses she was considering to rent.
👇👇👇
See how there is NO clear transition from one idea to the other.

“You asked for details?�

“I wanted to know if they’d done it in our house,� I explain. “In our bed. I wanted to know if he’d protected himself and me from any possible diseases or whatever. How disrespectful and stupid the sin was, exactly.�

A nod.

“The first place is on West Street.�

“Tell me about it,� he says.

“Two bedrooms, one bathroom, wood-burning fireplace and big bay windows.�

“Sounds nice. What else have you got?�

“A new one-bedroom, one-bathroom in the East End and an old one-bedroom, two-bathroom in West Bayside.�

“That’s a lot of bathrooms for one person,� he says.

“And both have heated floors.�

See? It's weird, right?

All in all, it is not a book I hated but I definitely didn't enjoy it enough...
