Probably 2.5 stars, but I have it 3 instead of 2 because it kept me entertained.

I found the whole premise a little unbelievable, can you fall in love with a complete stranger in 4 days? What about a complete stranger who you are justifiably scared of? And what if you are already married?

I also felt that some of the plot twists weren't very solid.

But I am a sucker for a romance and this book delivered on that.

2.25

A good read and fun book, well, most of it. The characters, although somewhat stereotypes, were interesting, but we quoted like the author writes, not realistically. The book was a 3.5 until the totally implausible ending, which dropped it to at least 2.25. Reasons for the disappointing conclusion:

unrealistic explanation for Hayes’ hiding, more so for his sister’s support; where did he get his money to hide for four years?, why did the cops suddenly side with him?, Alice’s monologue, … and so on.

I enjoyed the first 80% of this. But it’s Sandra Brown, after all. 2.25.

This book was way too formulaic for my taste. It was reasonably well-written, but the characters were stock and the plot was predictable.

I liked this book more than I thought I would. Lots of twists and turns, some predictable, others not. I had no idea how it would end until the end, which I really liked. I would like to read more of Sandra Brown's stories.
