THE LIST is a compelling story about a married couple on the verge of divorce. The story opens with Tilda asking Daniel for a divorce after one year of marriage. Daniel is surprised by Tilda’s request and hopes to somehow change her mind. The reader is then taken back to the first time Daniel and Tilda meet and we learn their story and what brought them to the point of divorce.
I like Daniel, he’s a serious guy, but he also has a fun and sexy side. In their relationship Daniel is flexible and accommodating. He cares about Tilda and is always warm, sensitive and willing to do things her way. Tilda is skittish about relationships and Daniel tries to hold back his strong feelings for her, so he won’t scare her away. I had a hard time warming up to Tilda. She tends to be secretive, selfish and self absorbed. Tilda’s a hard person to get to know and continually tries to push Daniel away. However, there is something about Tilda that draws Daniel to her and he finds himself unable to stop thinking about her. She intrigues Daniel; he loves a puzzle and wants to figure her out. Daniel knows Tilda has secrets and he hopes, if he’s patient, she will eventually open up and share them with him.
I love to read anything by Anne Calhoun, she is a wonderfully talented author and I was excited to read THE LIST. However, I have to admit, I found this story disappointing. The biggest problem was connecting with Tilda. She didn’t have many redeeming qualities and I thought Daniel deserved better.

I didn't post a review when I finished reading the first time so now that I finished rereading it again today I figured I should probably say something about it.
Daniel Logan is so close to being my fav Calhoun male (top spot is still Hunter from Liberating Lacey whoa boy can get it, anytime). He's just commanding, passionate and I'm a big fan of his dirty talks lololol. I love how he loves Tilda, who's gotta be the most complicated Calhoun girl I've read. She "lived like she could spontaneously combust at any moment but was always cold."
I need more Anne Calhoun in my life.

Not my favorite but still it's AC so it's well written, intense and well developed. As always, I loved the characters but feel that the Irresistible series is trying to be something it's not. Haven't quite pegged what that is yet but there is something artificial and almost affected about the two i have read.

The novel was erotic, but the loving descriptions of bespoke stationary and West Village life in a three story apartment with a garden--that was pure porn. I could have read those descriptions over and over again, but if I had I'd've missed a wonderful love story.
Tilda and Daniel's story opens a year after their marriage, when Tilda's asking Daniel for a divorce. So many love stories are courtship tales, but The List is about discovering the person you love, peeling back the layers and lies to get to the truth and making it work for you.
I know a lot of readers didn't like Tilda, her coldness, her inability to invest herself in the relationship the way Daniel did, but his patience and devotion was part of what I loved about it.
If you're looking for an adult book, in the best sense of the word "adult", you could do worse than to read Anne Calhoun.
