Title: A Very Predictable Yawner
Review: I must admit the many comparisons to Susan Elizabeth Phillip and the movie My Best Friends Wedding intrigued me. A fan of both, all I can say is The Long Shot was a great disappointment. The backstory is about as cliched and predictable as you can get. The whole story rests on the premise of the hero loving one woman enough to do anything to win her love, and the heroine loving this same woman, her best friend, so much that she would give up her own happiness for her. The only problem - this friend is the most shallow, hateful caricature I have come across in quite a while. Overall the story crawls along slowly with the most transparent and sickenly convenient little plot "twists". If you must read this one - pick it up from the library. But I strongly suggest Hunter's Moon by Karen Robards as much better example of hourse country romantic suspense.
Is the review positive or negative?
