I am not normally a fan of romantic books like I thought this was. But I loved this book and I plan on reading the 2nd one in this series soon.

I read the kindle edition. There were so many typos, misspellings, and random symbols (/ was often used) that it was distracting. I wonder if anyone proof read this. Also, when it would change from one book scene to the next it often didn't have a smooth transition to let the reader know it was a different book scene.

Georgeann and John are a match made…somewhere. This book is adorable and the smut is great. If you like southern girls that look straight out of a porno and hockey players straight from a catalog then this book is for you. 5/5 smut

I have to be honest. I almost didn't read this one all the way through. I started it and was so irritated by the first few chapters that I left it on my bedside table and read four other books before picking it up again. I found the heroine frustrating, the hero unappealing, and the story just all around uninteresting. For some reason, though, I did pick it up again, and I'm glad I did. Once the story fast forwarded by several years, everyone and everything became not just more enjoyable -- I was actually eager to drop everything in order to get back to it. The unlikable and annoying characters not just became more likable and less annoying -- they actually acknowledged how unlikable and annoying they had been.

I think of everything my favorite part was Lexie and how she reacted to the gradual changes in her life. It was among the more realistic portrayals of a child (and how she might behave in these situations) I've read. My least favorite part (other than the beginning) was the behavior of Mae (the best friend) toward Hugh (the other best friend). It seemed unnecessarily antagonistic. And then, of course, it wasn't. Which is pretty standard as these things go, but not my favorite convention.

Oh, the one other thing to mention was that there seemed to be a lot of attention paid to Mae's brother's sexual orientation. Well, to sexual orientation in general. It seemed a little bit out of place in a disconcerting way; I couldn't decide if it was just something the author felt strongly about, or if it was a sign of the times. I'm hoping that, as the series progresses, it doesn't show up quite as much as it kept pulling me out of the story.
