Rating: 3 out of 5

PLOT: Kate is reluctant to become involved with Cole. He has a reputation of dating a woman for only a week. She's just had her heart broken and isn't willing to risk her heart with Cole.PROS: It's well written with few editorial mistakes. The character of Kate was well developed. It has its funny moments.CONS: I think Cole could have been better developed. We know that he has issues with commitment because of his parents. But exactly what his parents did to him is a mystery.The point of view jumps around from Kate to Cole with no warning. A few times, the point of view changed from one to the other in the same paragraph.I felt the description for this book was misleading. Kate and Cole were never really friends. He always wanted to date her. He never thought of her as just a friend. And she didn't think of him that way either. She just forced him to remain one.My main issue with this book is that it's boring. It could be shorter and better if Kate and Cole didn't have repetitious conversations over and over. It causes scenes that should be charged with tension to be dull and ultimately pointless.This isn't a con so much as a point of confusion, but I could never figure out what city Kate and Cole were in. They were constantly attending society events and that seemed odd to me also. Maybe if I knew the city it would make sense. I also can't recall it ever being mentioned what Cole did for a living.3 STARS: It was okay. The ending was good, but I should have listened to my instincts when I read the sample and thought their conversation was boring. If you like the sample, you'll probably enjoy this book.
