Review: Not Up to Mackenzie Standards
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 02 4, 2014
Maris' story is 2 1/2 stars for me, the bump to a half star owing to the gathering of the family at the end. The story, unfortunately, suffers from telling and not showing plot details. The chemistry between Maris and Alex suffers from this as well. The reader is thrown into the present without adequate descriptions of past meetings and attraction between the couple. (The suspenseful aspect to the novel also suffers from this.) Flashback scenes would have helped tremendously. Those familiar with the Mackenzie Family books expect instant attraction between the hero and heroine, but it's just not developed in this one.
