This review is from: A Question of Marriage (Harlequin Presents) (Kindle Edition)

Once again I am at a loss as to how to rate a book. Which is worse:

A story which starts off thoroughly engaging, entertaining, and enthralling then does a complete 180 to nonsense and boredom, or

A story which starts off the way in continues...utter rubbish and so nonsensical as to make the reader wonder how it got published.

I'm going with option 'A' being the worse offender. Because it gave me hope. Sucked me in with an amusing, enjoyable first three chapters, and just when it had me hooked it turned out to be a gut-wrenching disappointment. If it had started out like crap, it wouldn't have given me hope that I would enjoy it. And isn't that just the worst...false hope?

Okay, so we have a woman (Aurora) whose diaries are hidden in the home of our hero (Luke). Thinking he was out of town, she breaks into his home to retrieve them, only he's stayed home to nurse a cold, and in the ensuing kerfuffle, she knocks him out. I must say, as meet-cutes go, that's one of the best I've read in a Harlequin book. So now it's got me hooked. And then it happens...

I don't know if the writer had a mood shift after that or a different person continued to write after those first couple of chapters, because all of a sudden, the book turns into what can only be called circuitous gibberish. I'm sorry, but there is just no other way to describe it. Oh wait...yes there is...boring.

Don't waste your time. Read something else.
