4.0 out of 5 stars Fun beachtime read, June 29, 2004
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fast Courting (Mass Market Paperback)

Being a fan of the author, I picked up this book for some good summer beach reading. I was not disappointed. Nia, a journalist, and Dan, a pro basketball coach, are very likeable and meet under interesting circumstances. While some of the references are dated, their romance is not. I like how they do not get along at first, they get to know each other, he helps her through a tragedy and chooses love before his career when a pushy boss gets in the way. There are few other characters and that is nice too, some books have way too many small characters introduced for no reason. All in all a great story

1.0 out of 5 stars obviously early work, July 7, 2004
This review is from: Fast Courting (Mass Market Paperback)
Needing some summertime reading, I decided to dive back into Delinsky's early works for ones I had missed. This was a mistake. The plot was overly simplistic, the characters horribly under-developed, and the message so predictable & sappy that I only got through it b/c it's such a quick read and I'm stubborn about finishing what I start. When the male protagonist (Daniel) calls the female protagonist (Nia) "Babe" at the start of every conversation, it is jolting to me how out of character he seems.

Anyway, it's nice to see Delinsky's writing has improved over time. Kudos to her publisher for sticking with her and developing her writing style. This one, however, is worth skipping....
