Review: It Lacked That Spark

I wanted to like this book... I really did. Instead I just ended up liking the Hero.I get that Denise and her family are going through some major grieving, but at the same time they just act stupidly.  She has absolutely no control over the household and she's constantly just a complete pain in the butt.  Andrew isn't always the best communicator, but at least he's TRYING.  And it's not like she didn't know what to expect going into the marriage... but she's not trying at all. She doesn't even want to.Sure, she's lost a lot of control over her life, but she was making a mess of it - and of her brother's - before Andrew stepped in.  If she hadn't been then I would have had a lot more sympathy for her.Mostly I just was just utterly frustrated with her and her family and I didn't really feel like there was a spark between her and Andrew for the sexual stuff. Without that spark the romance part of the story just kind of shrivels and dies.  The writing is really well done and so is the plot, and I'm tempted to buy the next book just to find out what happens, but the erotica and the romance just don't do it for me... so I'm probably not going to get book #2 even though part of me wants to know if Denise ever grows up enough to become a woman worthy of a great guy like Andrew.
