When I decide if I want to give a book a try, I start with the negative reviews. I find they give me more infomation than the glowing 4 and 5 star reviews.  I mention this to say that I didn't agree with the reviewer who felt the main character was wishy washy, pushing our hero away and then pulling him back. While I never possessed this level of fear after my own divorce, I can understand how someone would feel that way.  Beyond that, I had my own "issues" with this book.On the plus side, this is a fast read.  There aren't a lot of typos or misused words, which is also a plus and tends to result in my refusing to finish a book.On the negative, I found the book unbelievable beyond belief and that just ruined it for me.  A woman who owns a successful hair salon sells it to take over her mother's failing business and then spends money like she grows it on a tree in her yard. Really?I have a personal problem with what I call "delusional fantasy" in books.  I don't care about name dropping, designer brand dropping, and someone pretending to be on the inside of the elite.  This woman was a hairdresser.  She's a provider of services. That doesn't suddenly put her on the inside track for a high class dating serving. And no one, I don't care how much money they have is going to drop $1,000 for a dating service that has no track record.On another note, I was so curious about the "exclusive condo complex" on Manalapan, that I took a ride looking for it. I certainly don't remember there being one there. There isn't. There are condos in Lake Worth and Boynton Beach. The only thing on Manalapan are really, really big single family mansions.  There's that "delusional fantasy" again.
