Envy

OK, this really deserves 3.5*, but I just couldn't give it 4* for two reasons:
1. Maris fell in love with Noah because she loved his book so much - I know that reason can go out the window when emotions walk in the door, but really?!!
2. Maris again - she came to Parker's bed while still claiming to love her husband, and then was upset with him for 'using' her and pushing her out the door (which he did).
Envy is a good read; a well-told story with some predictable plotlines but also some surprising twists.
Bottom line? I had a problem with Maris. However, I loved Mike - he was the real hero of this book!
And I really liked the story-within-a-story format.

"Maris again - she came to Parker's bed while still claiming to love her husband" uH, nO, no she didn't! She didn't sleep with him till she knew her "marriage" was over!

When she 1st left the island--having been chaste--it was under the impression she still had a marriage to go back to; then later when Noah cheated on her and physically threatened her; that's when things changed.
It鈥檚 been years since I read Envy and I loved it then. I doubt I would rate it five stars today as my reading tastes have changed. I thought it more than just unusual that a publisher would travel so far for a possible book. I agree about Mike!
