Title: Interesting Start.. Then really boring!
Review: This book had an excellent theme: ugly duckling intrigues handsome hero with her wit and unique character, and then she becomes a swan and steals the hero's heart. The book had a promising start with interesting dialogue and the instant attraction of the h/h. However.... the book quickly bogged down. Despite their mutual attraction, and the fact that Julia has loved the hero for four years, and the fact that they are MARRIED - the couple have hardly any physical interaction in the book. The smolder that started in the first dozen pages was all smoke and no fire for this reader. When the couple finally consummate the marriage, it is a disappointment and I almost didn't care! I skipped through pages and pages of this book - which is something I have NEVER done before. Since this was the author's first book, perhaps I will give her one more chance in a more recent work. However, I will certainly check it out at the library before I buy any of her other books.
Is the review positive or negative?
