Romance Books Reviews & Treats

Heroine is having second thoughts about her would-be husband's motives for marrying her after her talking to her father on the way to her wedding. She pushes through with it after being convinced by Hero that he loves her. But their drive towards their honeymoon destination threatens their marriage as she confronts him about her suspicions re: his motives for marrying her & having more than friendship in mind with his beautiful best friend. Will their marriage even last 1 day?

This book has an awful romance. Both Hero & heroine were mercurial & had an unstable codependent r/s. Heroine changed her mind 3x about marrying Hero during their wedding. She vacillated wildly b/w believing her father's accusations of Hero's scheming & her desire to trust in Hero's love for her. She based her decisions about him on his facial expressions. I was clued into how pathetic she was when all it took to finalize her decision to go through with the wedding was his facial expression of love towards her. No talking, no demand for explanations. Just a soft look of love was enough answer for her. For that moment anyway. It didn't take long for heroine & Hero to threaten to end their marriage of a few-hours & not long after that to get back together again. During their breaking times, Hero called heroine a whore & a money-hungry schemer. A few minutes later he's all over her & telling her he loves her. It was a roller-coaster ride of a wedding day. Interestingly, overall emotional tone was tepid but the crazy characters with their unstable behaviors & emotions gave this book some energy. Sexual chemistry was weird b/c of the characters' hot & cold attitude towards each other. Heroine at least was consistent about her feelings towards Hero. She just wasn't sure of how he felt for her. I didn't quite know or trust Hero's confessed feelings for her. He said her loved her but he seemed to act indifferent about losing her during their mini-break ups. He also had a history of falling for other women & even blithely proposing marriage to his woman best friend. He was too cavalier about love for me to believe that heroine is & will always be his one & only love. These 2 need lots of marital therapy.

Skip this.
