** spoiler alert **
I'm not sure what to think of this book. The writing was slow paced and the ending was too fast.
Somehow, I had no feelings or sympathy for Jessica. The romance was way too rushed and totally umrealistic.
Alex was perfect, too perfect. He's loving, caring, rich amd a fantastic cook. I mean please! He knows Jessica for about four days and gives her his dead grandmother's diamond bracelet. There was absulutly no flaw about Alex. He was so unreal, I actually thought I was reading a fairy tell about Prince Charming.
So let's talk about Sal. A grown woman abused by her husband. Now he physically abused her so bad, he end up in jail and Sal is a mental mess (rich, but clearly not able to take care of herself, let alone handle financial issues).
Wouldn't a court order her a offical caretaker? Wouldn't her doctor or the hospital she was in, organize a caretaker, since she has no family to look after her? No! A housekeeper comes by and organizes her mess in her huge house. Jessica goes shopping for her and Sal gives her twice the amount of money she spent. And since Jessica doesn't spend much money on herself, shouldn't she be loaded with cash (instead of worring about spending too much)? While Sal is in the hospital, her doctor announces Jessica as her caretaker and needs her signature to move her to a mental faculty; just because she goes shopping and even takes too much money from her! Uh, doesn't a court decide who is a caretaker?
I don't think I'm going to read the rest of this series.
