Review: I would have loved to give this book 5 stars but the cliches annoyed and disappointed me.
Rating: 3 out of 5

The title of my review really says it all, everything about these characters was fresh for the genre, the dialogue was good, funny, entertaining and Matt was hotness personified. Melt my kindle hot! Then there was a switch to some terrible re-run movie scene where they make plans to meet at a particular spot in the park, and miss each other. Do cell phones not work? Could a text not have been sent to avoid the issue? Could the heroine not have suddenly decided to drop out of character as a headstrong woman, and fought for what she wanted? Or make a call? The Hero had a dangerous job, maybe he was hurt? Did we have to end up at the airport, the terminal gate to Pareeee, where all broken hearts go to shrivel up and die? Haven't I heard this story before? Unfortunately, all of this only served to annoy me, because we had suddenly switched to some 50s/60s Hollywood-ized version of a modern romance with its forced emotional climax, this by an author whom I trusted to give me an original story.
