-- SPOILER ALERT!!! --This was a total disappointment. Why you ask? First, I couldn't stand the heroine, Sarah. She grated my nerves from beginning to end. At one point in the story Jeb tells her how "brave" she was. Brave? This lady is brave? I beg to differ. Not only did I think she was a twit, I found her to be quite desperate to find a man. She also finds herself in a horrible predicament of getting raped, not once but twice (saved both times) in a matter of days. Now, I'm not making fun of this sensitive subject, but I can't understand why the author chose for this to happen to her twice. It just rubbed me the wrong way.Next, I absolutely hated that while having their very first date, they both express how much they love each other. Yeah, yeah, I know this is science fiction where the aliens know right away who their life mate is when they see/feel them. But come on! Love?! We're to believe she falls in love with him just because she saw him working at a construction site? For a woman who doesn't have any self-confidence when it comes to her looks, and that all her past relationships with men have failed - TA DA! She's in love with him. You'd think that'd be enough cheesiness for me, but wait...wait for it...after proclaiming their love, they discuss getting married. That's it! Game over. No more.One last thing, it made absolutely no sense that Simon ignored the many calls Sarah made to him when she just wanted to double-check that he was okay since he left her in the middle of the night due to a family crisis. For someone who loves her so much he'd rather make her worry (cue eye-rolls); besides he did leave her a voicemail message. What a guy. Since he ignored her calls she decides to travel nine hours to be with him which leads her to be captured by the "bad guys." It's obvious the author created this ridiculous situation just to make the story longer and put the heroine in a dire situation which could have been avoided by answering one lousy call. Lame.
