content: I'm a male reader who reads and enjoys romance. With much interest did I pick this book, only to disappointed. This book belongs to the garbage heap along with Waller, folks. The story is most contrived and shallow. There is (a) no chemistry between hero and heroine, (b) no humour, (c) contrived dialogues reminiscent of a grade three essay book, (d) flat descriptions of people, (e) mawkish melodrama being passed off as poignant drama. Take my advice, ignore the other '10' reviews and get this from a library instead.
