Cute, but I found it quite cheesy.

Buku ini emang buat selingan yang suntuk aja. Banyak adegan hawt-nya (dan memang ditonjolin di situ, ketertarikan fisik antar karakter).

Ceritanya ringan banget, sampai-sampai aku lupa kalau ini nggak bakal serumit tulisan genre suspense belio yang lain. Waktu baca blurb, kupikir bakal ada drama dengan keluarga Manning, ternyata cuma disebut sepintas lalu. Bahkan si pembawa konfliknya dari sumber lain. Agak kecewa sih, karena nggak ada ketegangannya, tapi ya udah, emang fokusnya nggak sesuai ekspektasiku.

Oh, aku agak gimanaaa gitu sama Jace. Dia emang perhatian dan tipe family man, tapi emosinya bikin ilfeel sometimes. Kayak beneran duh nggak bisa ditahan banget ya ini, bang? Kalo Kate ya tipe awalnya benci terus jadi demen gitu, deh. Kadang bikin gregetan, tapi kusuka karena tipikal cewek mandiri (sebelum Jace mendadak nginterupsi, ya).

Pembaca pasti dengan mudah merasakan simpati pada Kathrine yang harus mengambil alih pengasuhan keponakannya setelah adiknya meninggal. Dan dia harus menjauhkan anak itu dari keluarga Manning. Jadi ketika Jason Manning datang menemuinya, sikap defensif sudah pasti menjadi senjata Kat.

Novel ini menggunakan POV orang ketiga, tapi hanya melihat dari sisi Kat. Yang dituliskan hanya perasaan Kat saja, dan Kat yang dengan mudah menghakimi Jace. Selain itu latar belakang Jace tidak begitu jelas. Selain karakter Jace yang dewasa dan lembut, sulit memahami apa yang dilakukan Jace sampai dia sendiri yang mengatakannya.

Layout dan bahasa terjemahan yang (hampir) jadul sedikit mengganggu. But so far ceritanya lumayan.

A second Brown written under Rachel Ryan book and another that bloke is horrid and awful and I can't stand him, which in real life it would end, but in these books, nope, oh he is also alluring and I can't help myself I'm falling for him blah, blah blah. Gosh the women in these books come across as hopeless drips. Is that intentional?

when I read that a man speaks ugly words to a woman, that he insults her, it disgusts me the whole book. I mean, if a man had told me I was a conservative, suspicious bitch, I would have turned and left. the end.

2 stars because of Alison.

This book doesn't even deserve one star. This has to be one of the worst books that I've ever read in my life. I only kept reading it in the ridiculous (and futile) hope that it surely would have to get better at some point.I wanted to shoot myself between the eyes...this book was so BORING!!! If I had of known it was going to be all romance ...I would have NEVER purchased this book!! There was no suspense...no nothing...just two people thrown together ....I was just like SERIOUSLY! Definitely do not recommend this book!
