god, i would like to introduce the author to a three act structure.
this book has potential especially in the first 10% or so, but then the rest falls into the same 3 misunderstandings happening ad nausem with slightly different set dressing.
There were so many times when I, silly as I am, thought that they were going to have a conversion and dissolve their problems and grow into a deeper, more interesting relationship. as is, this is just exhausting.
Honestly, it got so boring that i started wishing that some of their terrible assumptions about one another were true, just to make it more interesting.

If you're spent any time whatsoever in Romancelandia, you know about the Big Misunderstanding. So what happens when an entire book is a Big Mis, followed by innumerable follow-up misunderstandings? You get a reader who is ready to pull her own teeth out with the rusty pliers in her garage, just to distract herself from this ridiculous and frustrating book.
Seriously. The hero and heroine were on the same wavelength for the first few pages. Then it all went down hill. Good God, I couldn't begin to list all the misunderstandings in this book. There were too many to take in and my poor brain waved a little white flag about 1/4 of the way into the book and didn't come back until I finished reading. The kicker? Everything could have been cleared up if the hero pulled the caber out of his arse and unbent enough to just SMILE at his wife instead of acting like she just let out a stinktastic fart every time she enters the room. And Miss Thing needed to stop flinching every time he came near her. Or, even better, if either of them actually TALKED TO THE OTHER PERSON, everything could have been cleared up in less than a minute. Hells bells. Want a frustrating read with resolution only on the last two pages? Read this. If you want to spare yourself from contemplating violence against your person or throwing your ereader across the room, skip it.

Not a terribly heavy hitter...fluff reading all the way...BUT, if you want a mild book...this is the one!...Just prepare to roll your eyes, a LOT....the entire plot of the book is basically to people who are terrible at communicating, beyond belief....
Seriously, I challenge you to read this book and NOT roll your eyes at least three times....but read it anyway......cause you will want to see how it ends....for some weird reason.

Well-written and a reasonable balance of angst and characater interaction. I did feel things were slightly too drawn out, and some of the motivations were a little "iffy". But Annie Burrows is pretty reliable and this passed an entertaining couple of hours.
