3 stars -- Wow, I really have changed. I know I read this, and kept it last time. It wasn't bad, and I'm wavering about going with 3.5 stars, but I'm in a bad mood, so this is what you get. In some ways it was a very typical Presents. Arrogant, kind of a jerk hero. Meek, insecure heroine. There was some nuance at least. Matilda had moments where she stood up for herself and was more than I expected. And Dante had the rarest moments of depth and heart (stress on the rare). I was frustrated with how callous Dante could be, without much apology. I mean, yeah, there were mitigating circumstances, but...it wasn't enough for 2022 Lenore. The story with his daughter was somewhat interesting, but given the title of the book, I expected her to appear in the story more. There was chemistry, even if sometimes it made me feel uncomfortable -- again, I've changed. But they did have a connection. The romance/relationship was fast, which is pretty typical of Presents as well. That sums it up -- typical. *shrugs* At this point I'm reading them so that I can get rid of them...and hopefully weed out a few that are legitimate gems that stand the test of time for me.

About the author

Carol Marinelli recently filled in a form asking for her job title. Thrilled to be able to put down her answer, she put writer. Then it asked what Carol did for relaxation and she put down the truth - writing. The third question asked for her hobbies. Well, not wanting to look obsessed she crossed the fingers on her hand and answered swimming but, given that the chlorine in the pool does terrible things to her highlights – I’m sure you can guess the real answer.
