Maybe Tomorrow

Rating:
Summary: Not as good as expected
Review: I agree with the other reader. It was hard to really get into the characters and the way their problems were resolved left me dissatisfied. I could have better spent my money.

Summary: Yikes!
Review: I could hardly believe the disparaging reviews previously featured. I immediately ran to grab the book to see what all the animosity was about - throwing books on the floor?

I read the book and athough probably not the best in the world, I felt it certainly did not deserve the slams it received. Yes, the characters are flawed, but so are real humans. While most of the other reviewers had a hard time with the heroine, Leigh, I had the greatest difficulty with the hero, Michael. What an incrediably obnoxious, arrogant, INSENSITIVE man. All he could do was laugh at every situation not matter how the other person was suffering. I don't think Leigh treated her father like dirt. Considering the brainwashing her mother had accomplished on her, I think she treated her Dad with kid gloves. So she misunderstood her Dad - tell me who isn't misunderstood? I, too, didn't care for how everything was tidied up including the final interchange between Leigh and her father. Life is not tidy. Very, very few of us have a sudden ephiphany where everything in our life is resolved. But then, the majority of romance books are just that -happily ever after endings. We keep buying them, don't we?

Summary: Don't bother
Review: I picked this book up from the library on a whim. The cover had a glowing review from Nora Roberts, so I thought why not? Let me tell you why not. The dialogue is trite. The plot is boring. Leigh Evans, the main character, is immature, brainless, and cold. She treats her father like dirt for, as a turns out, a very lame reason. Likewise, she takes her anti-men stance too far with her love interest, Michael St. Claire. If she were a real person, I would feel sorry for her family and friends.

Summary: All right.
Review: Leigh Evans is one of the most cynical heroines I have ever read about, maybe too cynical. Michael St. Claire, once a young street kid, now is a powerful property deceloper and this is how he meets Leigh. I had trouble identifying with either the hero or the heroine and did not find this book all that interesting. Both characters have painful ghosts to overcome and emotional traumas from the past undermine this prospective relationship. Many might find this book a good read, but I found myself bored half way through the book. I don't know why, because this is the type of book I usually like to read.

Summary: Yikes!
Review: Was there a deadline that needed to be met? The ending was so abrupt that it left me totally dissatified. It started out pretty good as a relationship-character story. All of a sudden all the little subcharacters (Shamus/Barbara; Jake/Sheila, etc.) had to be tied into nice little endings except for Leigh and Michael. For all of Leigh's independence, her mere acceptance of Michael's influence on her growing client list was unacceptable. Sure they love each other, but there were still unresolved issues. To be honest, when I got to the end of this book, I threw in on the floor in disgust. How unfilling it turned out to be. I have read Ms. Hohl's other books and I have never felt like this before.
