The story was different and imaginative, as previous reviewers have mentioned. But that was the only redeeming feature in this novel. The heroine was annoying and unbelievable - one second she hates this guy and on the very next page she loves him? I couldn't find any reason why any of the characters fell in love with each other, except for maybe their reported good looks. Ms. Coffman's writing was also a bit cumbersome. Examples: "Love and eggs are best when they are fresh." "...she turned to watch them fly around the corner faster than boiled asparagus." Is asparagus fast? Apparently so.

I haven't read such a good job of creating a suffering hero since Heathcliffe in Wuthering Heights. This book has charm, depth of characterization, a plot that will keep you turning the pages and characters you will not only cheer for, but will come to love. Elaine Coffman gives us her best and that is what makes her one of the best.

I adored this book. It has everything: charm, humor, characters you loved and wanted to win. It has a fabulous and truly different plot. In this time of the same old story, this book stands out as something truly special. Coffman writes so beautifully of love. There is a sincerity to her prose and her characters always make me feel as if I truly know these people. Great!

I could not put this book down...I normally don't stay up late at night reading books but I could not stop reading this book til I finished it. I think the heroine Natasha was a little too stubborn/headstrong at times though and made Trevor suffer more than he had to...But I enjoyed this book.
