No More Secrets
Bookstore employee is attracted to good-looking Hero who she didn't like at 1st when she thought he was cheating on his pregnant wife. Finding out that the woman she thought was his wife is really his sister freed her to relate more easily with him & hope for romance with him. But her hopes were dashed when a mutual acquaintance informs her that Hero is secretly gay. Heroine finds herself falling for him anyway as their friendship progresses especially since Hero seems to be attracted to her as well. My 1st George book & it was lukewarm. This book was written in such an understated way that it made what could've been a funny or angtsy romance premise tepid at best. Emotionality, dialogue, sequence of events, sexual chemistry, & characters were bland. Heroine didn't seem particularly anguished or torn b/c of knowing that the man she's in love with is likely gay. The ending was predictable & unexciting. Heroine was still holding back & insecure about her future with Hero at the end. At least Hero was more open & trusting about their r/s.
Minimally recommended.
