Summary: Awful Heroine
Review: I have read the first half of this book, and although I usually force myself to complete a book once I've started it, I have no desire to read the rest of this one.

I simply do not like Kate. She is so repressed it's painful. She's mean to Jeff, and she's mean to her kids. There is no way that someone so unable to get along with others or to take an introspective look at herself could be a sucessful psychologist.

Jeff is a great male lead, and should have her head over heels in love. Why is there so little ROMANCE in this romance novel?

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Missing The Romantic Spark
Review: I have very mixed feelings about this book. On one hand, the story had a few interesting bits and pieces, but on the other, it never became a book that I couldn't put down. It never truly flowed well. The emotions of the characters were too superficial, and the introduction of a secondary love interest for the character Kate broke the flow of the main romance. I think the main problem was the character of Kate. There was nothing unique about her character - she was the stereotypical, self-important psychologist who had an almost pathological hatred of sports, which just never was believable. Her narrow-mindedness and gullibility became annoying after a while. While the character Jeff fell more and more in love with her, the source of the attraction eluded me. He actually seemed too good for her. The secondary characters never had much personality and really added very little to the story.

Romantic tension was stated rather than created, giving the reader no emotional involvement in the story. Time seemed to just flow in the story without much of anything happening. There was a strange interlude where everyone went water skiing, which really made no sense, since it didn't seem as though the "sport experience" changed Kate's attitude at all. If you want a rather tame romance with no explicit scenes, and where the moral of the story is that true love doesn't necessarily have to conform to rigid rules, then this is the book for you.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Ugh.
Review: This has gotta be the worst ... I've read in a long, long time. It's worse than what I've ever been assigned in all of my classes put together. The only thing worse than this that I can think of is the Red Wheelbarrow...and that was what, four lines long? Yeah.......it's not worth the paper it's printed on, much less the ink used to print it.
