Review: Good Idea But Slightly Awkward
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 09 7, 2013
Nate is a fabulous looking a) rugby player b) doctor c) medium.  Right off the bat, he is a bit over the top.  He's a terrific father and loves to cook.  It appears his only flaw was that he wasn't ready to say he loved Grace within five weeks of meeting her.  In fact Nate is so fantastic, that one wonders why he ends up with Grace.Grace comes with a lot of baggage and seems to be on her way to becoming the "cat" lady.  She has only ever had bizarre boyfriends; psychopath, one runs off to join the circus.... Silly.  Grace has an unhappy relationship with her domineering mother and feels abandoned by the men in her family.  Luckily, she has a penchant for sexy underwear and manages to accidentally expose it on more than one occasion.  I'm not sure how these two would ever have ended up together, otherwise.Nate's daughter reveals a major secret she has been hiding for years.  This seems odd given her close relationship with her loving father, especially since he was in the best position to help her with it.The dialogue between Nate and Grace is often stilted.  The ending is unnecessarily rushed when the two main characters make huge turnarounds.  Grace doesn't even want to have sex in Nate's bed for the first few weeks because it would mean the relationship was too serious.  By week five (with one or two encounters per week) she is talking about love.Grace's refusal to conceded that Nate's abilities as a medium are real, even after he shocks her with information no one but her dead father could know is disappointing.  Even at the end, the best she can do is admit that Nate is sincere about what he does.This is not a bad book, just one that doesn't ring true.
