Review: Intrigued, but the execution fell flat

I was intrigued by the summary of MORE THAN THIS, but the execution didn't live up to my expectations.First up, let me say that Ryan is a yummy hero! He is totally a sweetheart, and I love all he did to help Quinn. That said, if I had a guy like that dangling after me, especially after he said that he wants to move the casual relationship to a couple thing, I'd jump at the chance. I'd take a present Ryan over a future baby any day. Oh, I haven't mentioned that Quinn is very hung up on having a baby by herself, as she felt her biological clock is ticking.That said, I thought Quinn was being bull-headed not to realize what a great catch Ryan was. Plus, I can't understand why she keeps on pushing about wanting to have a baby by herself, especially after people told her the hardships in going it alone. I thought she was being stupid to ignore the advice of people who had been there. I'm not discounting what she wants (a baby), but she's too set in her ways, her eyes too fixed that she can't see the one good thing in her life (Ryan).The writing is not so polished, thus wasn't able to draw the reader fully into the story. I thought there were also some unfinished threads, like the matter of the rapists. It was used to bring a hint of danger to Quinn so Ryan could go rescue her, but the matter wasn't resolved. Not sure if this is meant to flow over into the next book and be resolved there.All in, I think romance lovers would enjoy meeting Ryan and reading how he helped Quinn fulfill her list. I certainly did!Reviewed by Ashiafor TheRomanceReviews.com
