Review: Gratuitously Pornographic Yet Simultaneously Bland
Rating: 1 out of 5

Katie and Scott are the ho-hum "protagonists" of this easily forgettable book. Katie, although beautiful, leads a very dull life. Uh-huh? Scott, despite being "the most beautiful man she had ever seen" (yawn...aren't they all anymore?) is single at 26 and looking for Ms. Right. The "cute meet" starts with him racing his truck/SUV passed her on a snowy road and drives her into a ditch. She later meets him somewhere and then recognizes the car, gets all "huffy," and that's suppose to be the spark/tension that makes Scott realize "this one's different than all the other girls." Bored yet? Exactly. The book is about as interesting as watching grass grow and horribly predictable. The only other thing that happens in the first half of the book is the two of them go on a sleigh-ride date (awwwww) and then Scottie taking her into the woods to cut down a "real xmas tree." (awwwww) Somehow, while setting up the tree everything gets hot and heavy and they have 30 pages of pornographic sex under the (blushing?) tree. Then an evil woman at work tries to break them up, and it works for about 30 pages, until Katie's BFF (who only appears to move the plot forward, and has no other purpose in the book nor dimensionality) tells her what the *itch did, and everything is resolved in short, predictable, (painfully obvious) order. This book is awful, except for the sex scenes if you like X-rated, which I don't. It can be read in 30 minutes by skimming one page, skipping three, skimming one, skipping three. You'll miss nada that you couldn't fill in yourself. Terrible.Rec it? Now wayBuy it? NeverReread it? Not if I were stranded on an island and this were the only book available.Sorry.
