Negative Positive
Title: Ultimately Disapointing
Review: I like Mallery's work, and this story started out OK. I really liked the heroine, and I didn't have any objections to the hero - at first. But gradually, his obsession on feeling guilty about absolutely everything WORE ME OUT. I am not using the word "obsession" lightly. About half way through the book, I started thinking that if this guy started on meds to treat OCD, his emotional health would take a giant leap forward. Worse, it was spreading. The leading lady was normal and likeable, but by the end of the book, she was indulging in the same weird angst. I could barely tolerate her, either.There was a cute and funny (and way too long) love scene in the middle of the book. Where I didn't buy the housekeeper as the all knowing Yoda that the author obviously intended, I thought the thing about her clothes was mildly amusing. And I like that the Epilogue was set five years in the future.None of these minor points could save this book for me, and it is not recommended.
Is the review positive or negative?
