Review: Diary-style story made for a very believable and enjoyable read

This book started kind of slow for me.  I was almost tempted to give up on it. I’m not used to reading a fiction book that is written almost like a diary. And it’s a long story, way longer than I would usually read. But after the first few chapters I was hooked, often reading way late into the night! The diary style did make it all the more believable. The characters are so real and I found myself feeling for both Eric, our hero, and Tina, our heroine. I wanted to see Eric succeed in both his job and with Tina. I wanted to see Tina come to the realization of her poor choices in a husband.Since it was a long book, nothing was rushed here. The slow-burning desire that Eric and Tina have for each other could be felt with every turn of the page and every encounter they had. Sometimes I felt like I wanted to yell at Tina for doing so many 180s on Eric that it was diving me as nuts as it was driving him nuts. It’s obvious this author has a keen understanding of the female mind. :)I could completely empathize with Tina’s situation too. She’s finding herself attracted to Eric on many levels, but is married and not quite sure how to deal with that. Eric, on the other hand, has a good handle on life and his goals. Of course his life changes when the woman of his dreams walks into his it.One complication after another for the two until they were nearly together by the end of the book (Man, was I pulling for them by that point!). One thing about a really good story is you don’t want it to end. And by the time I got to the last page I could see there was much yet in store for Eric and Tina. It looks like this is just the beginning to a really long and enjoyable story. Can’t wait to read the next installment in the series!
