The Best Time Of The Year

Casey Gilmore is determined to make this particular Christmas merry and bright. . . somehow. First things first. Her dad has to come home--and Flint McAllister has to leave. Having him take over the Anchor Bar was never her idea. Thrown by a horse, on the injured list for months, her dad insisted that Flint manage the family ranch and Casey had to give in. But from the very first day, she let Flint know that anything he could do, she could do better. Then he decided to charm her right out of her cowboy boots and love her up and--wow, he was good at it. But Casey can't give in and let him win just because she's feeling sentimental about the holidays...

This rework of a 1980 Harlequin is disjointed, lacks any real character development, and lacks basic writing principles at times. Thankfully, I spent no money on this example of how sadly an author can deteriorate or can stoop trying to make a buck, but it definitely is a waste of time. I only completed it because she wrote some decent stories back when the original was first released and I kept hoping it would finally show some glimmer of quality.

In a word: Awful, even for a romance.

The characters where engaging but there were plot holes you could drive a truck through. All sorts of themes and issues brought up and dropped with no resolution. The continuity issues were enough to make me even regret picking up the book and my standards are pretty low on that front.

If this is a rework of 1980 piece o'junk(as 1 reviewer suggests), it explains alot on the technology front. For instance, the herione apparently loves her cell phone. (She texts her brother!) She then is in several outdoor situations, alone and needing help, and she never, not once, opens the thing to see if she's got a signal to call for help.

Thank goodness I pick this up at the local library and didn't blow $6 on it. And hire an editor next time. Geesh.

I really like this one. It was a light story and for some reason I found it a page turner, even though I knew it was going to be HEA. There were some continuity problems with time and some unanswered questions. I did read the newer version that is a rewrite with computers added. I read this right before Christmas and if you expected anything else....It's a Christmas book!
