Favorite Quotes:She regarded him with queasy loathing.  Of course he was like granite.  He looked like he'd never been wrong, ever, in his life.  And now she had to point out how wrong he was?  She could feel the steam squealing in her head.She wasn't sure she loved him, although she really enjoyed being with him.  Plus, she was still waiting to hear trumpets and a celestial choir proclaiming, "He's the One and Now is the Time."My Review:I wasn’t sure I was going to like this book for several chapters.  Then when I decided I did, I still wasn’t sure I was going to like the main character throughout much of the book, but she grew on me.  Ms. Braden’s writing style is easy to follow yet has interesting vocabulary and scenes, and has entertaining and humorous dialog that flows smoothly most of the time.  However, she doesn’t follow a set formula or predictable path.  The reader is kept guessing about essential and important details and events that are revealed nonchalantly for the most part, unless you know to pay attention.  Definitely a fantasy, as no rich and accomplished man would put up with the nonsense our female character dished out, although she apparently was a dynamo in bed.  Oh, and there were some steamy sex scenes, not a lot, but well done and more alluded to than descriptive.  In an odd turn-around, for me anyway, I was pulling for the male character to get what he wanted and needed, when I am usually more sympathetic to the female characters… but this whole story was like that, and I enjoyed the change of pace.
