Review: WAY Better Than Expected!

I am not sure what I was expecting when I downloaded this book, but it wasn't what I got- it was so much better! This was my first time reading anything by Cindy Stark, but it will certainly *not* be the last. I purchased this for free last night on a whim when I couldn't sleep. Based on the cover and the short description, I anticipated a nice "fluff" read with a good bit of sexy thrown in. This is a classic case of "do not judge a book by its cover". I was surprised and pleased to see an actual plotline, and one that played out extremely well. The novella was just long enough, and the characters developed fairly well. If I could give it 4 1/2 stars, I would, simply due to the fact of Lily's friend, Hannah. Lily was 30 years old in the story, so I am guessing Hannah was around the same age, yet she acted sooooo immature and young- I often had to remind myself how old she was- she acted and responded like someone in her late teens or (very) early 20s, actually throwing tantrums, holding years-long grudges, and spreading viscous lies. If there would have been a little more background on her character, I might have been able to overlook this, but as it is, it is kind of a nagging point in my mind. That said, it was an entertaining read, and don't be surprised if Luke makes you want to find a sexy, RELENTLESS cowboy of your own. ;) Finished in one sitting.
