Review: It was ok

I have read two of Thayer King's previous books "Friends" and "Winning Dawn" and liked them alot, enough that I bought this book without even bothering to read the sample. Unfortunately I probably should have checked out the sample first because then I would have known that though this wasn't a bad story, for me it was just OK. Bliss was a slightly neurotic, control freak with a set of boyfriend stealing friends, and Aric was a very blonde sweetheart that Bliss thought was gay. Despite the fact that Aric agreed to be setup with her on a blind date, flirted quite a bit, and spent a considerable amount of time with her, Bliss was certain that he was gay because she once witnessed him having an intimate moment with another guy. Additionally, she was also so certain that a friend of hers would steal Aric away at any moment, that I began to get sick of her. There were some other personality quirks thrown in for her that made me question this match. In my opinion she wasn't sweet, or sexy, nor was there anything alluring enough about her that allowed me to believe the strong attraction Aric felt for her. When some of the characters would make comments about her I found myself laughing because I kind of agreed with them. Character flaws aside, the story was ok, went by fast (perhaps too fast), and had some of the steam that I have come to expect from Thayer King. For this reason I give the story 3 stars.
