I love Max, and found his love for his first wife to be so touching. It was different because normally heroes dont have Exs that they truly remember. So, it was unique that he still loved his first wife, but was able to open his heart to a new relationship.Claire, im not sure i like her, shes the kind of woman that being independent means EVERYTHING, even if it means treating people like crap to prove she can do it herself. She kept getting mad at Max just because he reminds her of her ex. but then again the woman was dumb enough to pay for her entire wedding herself in the hopes that her husband would take care of her finally. Even though she claims to be independent.Plus, she kind of grossed me out, when he warns her to get drapes, she ignores him until she realizes that he can see into her bedroom, and was merely warning her.What does she do? Run and change into another room, and immediately buy drapes? no! does she tell him to close his own drapes and stop looking into her room? no!She gets naked infront of the window (even though she freaked when he had seen her nude earlier by mistake) and starts showing him what she is going to wear. Plus, she tweaks her nipples. i have never cringed while reading a book. ugh, i dont think ive ever gotten so nauseated by a heroine before. right after this, she meets him in a bar and her first reaction is to snub him... what???? she pinches her nipples for a guy she wants to snub???It made me lose what little respect i had for her. Later on she opens her door without a bra, and with a thin shirt, knowing there are two men there. but then she gets upset with the hero when he warns her the delivery men are drug addicts. of course, when they try to rape her, he is the one that is stuck saving her.at least if she had been interested in him, i could admire her trying to entice him. But she keeps whining that she wants nothing to do with him, since apparently every man is like her ex. she knows he is a widower and she is the first woman to catch his attention, and yet she has no problems teasing him, even though she doesnt really want to date him. one second she is throwing herself at him, then another second she is treating him like crap. all she cared about were her feelings, she KNEW she was hurting him, felt guilty, but she kept leading him on. i would have loved this book had the hero decided to stay with summer, his friend, who has done so much for him. she actually cared about him and wanted him to be with the heroine and be happy.I feel like Max deserved better....
