I don't like the character Natalie, i.e. the heroine in this story. As some have already mentioned the story started off great and I liked how the author was developing the characters, but the turning point for me, almost like a light switch was put on was when... SPOILER ALERT? Natalie gets really drunk while Brandon attempts to propose to her at the restaurant. She belittles him on her drunken state and tells him that her mother doesn't even know about him, that she doesn't think they will work etc etc. What man wouldn't leave at that? I disliked the character instantly, but I kept reading because I was already in. Natalie is selfish (she's involve with Anthony for a year, stringing him along, why? out of her insecurity. Brandon was patient and chasing after her throughout the book. Natalie is constantly second guessing her love for Brandon, to the point I think she doesn't really love him. She's also weak. When her mother and soon to be mother-in-law are arguing instead of jumping in and stopping the whole thing, she's in her own world and passes out. At one point, I think her best friend hand to speak for her. I was so over it at this point and had to skip some pages when she once again was having doubts on marrying Brandon. On her wedding day. Yes, while Brandon is at the altar, she's thinking about ditching him and having a panic attack. Again someone had to save her in this case Scotty to talk some sense to her. I was just happy to finish the book and be done with it, but wait there may be a part 2. I won't be jumping on the band wagon for part two.
