I've read the other reviews for this book. I agree that it starts a bit slow but Ms. Gayle's writing style and the way she creates a world for you to visit is well worth the trip. For anyone who has family issues (and who of us doesn't) there is a lot in this book to relate to. And I guess I'm just a big fan of the authors so I enjoyed seeing how the characters got together in the end. The reason for four stars instead of five is because the beginning is perhaps not up to the stellar openings of her other books but its worth reading on.

I have been trying to read this book for two weeks and am just on page 58. I just cannot get into this book. Normally, I enjoy reading holiday fiction but this is by far the worst that I have read.

I didn't enjoy this book at all. It was a chore to read. The main characters Maddie, Warner and Samantha were boring from beginning to end. The plot was horribly choppy. Not a good read at all.

This book, in my opinion, is not one I would recommend to romance book lovers. The book seemed drawn out right from the beginning. To me, it took a long time to get to the plot of the story. I could not manage to move beyond page 37. The author tries to incorporate pieces of historical fiction into contemporary fiction, which, in my opinion, do not mix well at all. These are two separtes genres that the author is trying to join together and it literally takes away from the novel. I will try other titles by this author but this one just did not do it for me!

Ok I can't get off page 32. I mean I have tried several times to pick this book back up to read. I just can't do it. I like most of Ms Gayle's book bust this one HATED IT...

I couldnt force myself to finish this book. I have read her previous work and she is one of my favorite authors. I was looking forward to her next book, this was truly a waste of money. Don't bother.
