Rating:  Summary: charming Review: The Pros: I thought this was a great comedic romance. The witty reparteé between the main characters was refreshing. The hero was true to his nickname, Bear. He seemed like such a love-able, huggable man. His clutziness made him seem more "real". How many of us know men who are perfect anyway? He was sensitive and caring and funny. The heroine was like-able too. The author gave her a great sense of humor as well - the banter between Kitty and Bear showed the chemistry the two were supposed to share. The dates that Kitty was set up on were hilarious. It was a hoot to guess "what's wrong with this one?" It was a fun read, no great literature - but do we expect that in our romance? Nahh....I'm glad I picked it up.Cons: Like most romances the ending was tied up too neat and quick. Plus the mushy talk gets corny once the lovebirds have sealed their fate (also a downfall of most romances, but both are mostly forgivable.) The Brownie incident was kind of dumb and contrived to boot. I think the author could have come up with something better - like making Bear Kitty's bachelor #6. (May be predictable, but it would have been sweet!) And I would have LOVED to have had an epilouge. I always want to know what happens after "happily ever after." Other than those nitpicky points - I was a thoroughly satisfied reader!
Rating:  Summary: Godawful, unfunny, miss-match Review: Well based on reviews I tried this book, and it was awful!! I really thought it was so supposed to be funny. The author attempted to be funny, but it was like she is trying to hard. It's like talking to someone who wants to fit in and tries to tell jokes. You can tell they are over doing it and instead of laughing you wish you could just shut them up. I kept trying to read on, but it was just over done. The idea of the book was good and I think if the author would have not tried so hard to be funny, it would have been good. I would not recommend this book to anybody who truly likes funny books. There are alot of great, funny books out there and this is not one of them.
