Contemporary romance, January 2, 2006
This review is from: Nothing in Common (Paperback)
Sarah Lazin is still hurting from being dumped by ex-boyfriend William, who told her that he only went out with her out of pity. Needless to say, Sarah is not exactly open to another relationship so soon. However, as she helps her sister Rivka get her new art gallery organized, she is thrown into contact with Alex Caine, owner of a local restaurant, caterer, and money man for the gallery. Alex is just like William - classy, handsome, debonair - all those qualities that frighten Sarah and make her wary of entanglements. Even though they have nothing in common, can Sarah and Alex make their relationship work?
This story is novel-length (197 pages), but it captures the reader so quickly that it seems much shorter. I was very pleased with this book and enjoyed it - the plot was well written, and fast-paced, and didn't throw in any weird plot twists, or have an unrealistic ending. Neither the hero nor the heroine are free from flaws, and each of them takes responsibility for some of the misunderstandings that occur. Sarah is a woman that I can empathize with, since she is full-figured and not classically beautiful, and finds herself in a position that I've been in myself. Alex, on the other hand, is the guy I've always dreamed of throwing himself at my feet - Yum! His surprise at having the relationship tables turned on him is priceless. The secondary characters, Rivka and her husband Mickey, and the individual employees of Alex's restaurant, are realistically drawn, and emerge from the generic background with well-defined roles and motivations. There are several sexy love scenes between the hero and heroine that are fairly explicit, but more sensuous than graphic. -- Jean, Fallen Angel Reviews (courtesy of Fallen Angel Reviews)

I barely got through this book. It felt like it was the author's first book and she was just going through the motions. Nothing exciting about it all. I loved loved loved Dirty and Broken, so I was very disappointed with this one.

Not My Favorite, November 3, 2008
This review is from: Nothing in Common (Paperback)
This book wasn't awful, but it wasn't one of my favorites either for Megan Hart. Try "The Road Taken" by Megan Hart instead.
