Okay, I really liked this book for 75% of the way through but...I couldn't believe the last two chapters. It totally ruined the book for me. Disappointment is putting it mildly. I read it yesterday and it still angers me.A man, who is a temper tantrum expert, has not talked to the woman he supposedly loves (except she has no idea that he loves her) in six weeks. He overhears something she says while on a private phone conversation and immediately assumes it is about her.Without ever talking to her, going to see her, or confronting her, he has a "family meeting" with her family and tells them something he believes is a fact about her and his intentions towards her. She doesn't even know he cares about her at this point.He lets her stew with her broken heart as he makes his plan....remember this man always has a plan, HIS plan and considers no on else.All throughout this six week period she is working with her father and soon-to-be step mother, who is Adam's mother, to plan their wedding and the stress on her is unbelievable. They all assure her and promise her that he is not coming to the wedding that is being held at his ocean front mansion. She doesn't think she can hold it together if he does. Her heart has been crushed...maybe beyond repair.Every one knows but her that he is on his way, still thinking what he overheard is true and remember, he has already told her family and his without talking to her.Does this woman not have a thread of sense in her mind. After the way he has treated her, the tantrums he has thrown, she should have made him wait...grovel...beg for forgiveness, show her that he loves her, prove how he truly feels...but instead she falls into his arms and bed. She is upset that he has brought both families into this mess but does nothing about that.I took hours away from my family to read this yesterday and I wish I had not. Only women who are so desperate would have handled it the way she did. I am not saying that she should have not taken him back, but she should have waited and let him prove himself. Good grief.I have read a couple of this author's books and I don't care for her abrupt endings...why not an epilogue?
