Rating: Summary: One of my favorite romances Review: Hard for me to "breathe" with this one, it was too awful!I had this book for a long time until I got around to reading it. This was a good thing because by now I�ve forgotten what I paid for it so, I�m not sure how much of a waste of money it was. Isabel�s negative traits: self righteous, controlling, arrogant, obsessive, superior, annoying, boring, judgmental, prissy. Those are just the ones I can think of offhand. Her positive traits: OK, let me think a minute, I'm sure there's something. She seemed to like kids? Her fiancé left her after falling in love with a frumpy older woman whom he had gotten pregnant. Her accountant ran off with her money. Her career tanked. But that didn�t stop her from assuming she knew what was best for everyone else and telling them about it! She�s definitely not in a position to give advice! Heal Thyself. Ren was a likeable enough guy, nowhere near the �bad boy� the media would have you think. He was however either stupid or masochistic or both to get involved with Isabel. What could a man like Ren possibly see in this woman? Or really any man for Pete�s sake. And how could she appeal to a man after she dictated her list of �rules� for them having sex? �Can�t do this, can�t do that, I�m in charge, I call the shots.� Can you say "kill the mood"? And what was with the last couple of chapters? For awhile there I thought I�d dozed off and woke up in another book! Castle ruins, lightning, goddess (yeah right), statues (cue dramatic music)! This definitely goes into the �giveaway� pile! Although I'm not sure if there's anyone I dislike enough to give it to. I can highly recommend Ms. Phillip's "Kiss An Angel" which is one of my favorite books. Also "It Had To Be You".
