I could have really liked this book if it wasn't for the racially insensitive slur in the book. "Indian Giver"? Really, why would you write that? Turned me off the entire story.

The story begins when Jill gets mistaken by a man and his date as a psychic at a carnival in the new
town she's in. She knows things about the man known as Aiden Cates, and his girlfriend. So, she takes the opportunity to tell him a few things she knows about his girlfriend. Then she takes off.
However, Aiden can't seem to get her out of his head, and he finds out that she was a fake. Now, more than ever he must find her and make her pay. But he didn't realize that he would end up working with her for the next year, but that's exactly what happen. Now, these two must figure out their feelings while also dealing with each other for a year.

This book was good. I really enjoyed the whole plot line from start to finish. It had me hooked right at the beginning because of how unique and funny it was, then it just got better and better.
And the characters were just as interesting as well. I loved both the hero and heroine. They made a very interesting couple, and it was exciting to see them get together. I also enjoyed the side characters romance as well. Mike and Carrie were great together also.

The only downside to this story was towards the end. I was a little annoyed and confused with some of the things that Jill did toward the end. It didn't make a lot of sense to me. Then when she finally fixed the problem the story just ended rather abruptly. So, overall I really thought the book was good,and I look forward to reading more of this series.

I picked up this book at the library because I loved the cover. It's January, and it's freezing cold, and the cover desperately made me wish I was on a warm and sunny beach! So I figured this would be a good winter read. It was a quick read, and after finishing it, I just felt...meh. The story was interesting enough, the characters likeable enough, and I was mildly entertained, but not enough for me to get excited about the book. It's predictable, which sometimes works for me but in this case was a bit too predictable.

If you're looking for an easy, relaxing, don't need to think to hard beach read, this is it. However, I've read others of this genre that I've liked better.
