Overall, I really enjoyed the storyline and characters of this book. It was a bit predictable, but I was okay with that - we all need a good romance and every now and then.My only negative critique was the over usage of the phrase "she swallowed thickly." I counted and it was used 35 times! I think the editor could have suggested switching up that descriptor because it became distracting and annoying. Maybe it's just me, but it was honestly used so much that it's worth mentioning in my review (it really stuck out). I also would have preferred if the author hadn't referred to the characters so much by their hair color. I like descriptive characterization, but at some point enough is enough. Entirely too many sentences included "she looked at the blonde," or "the brunette said." I think the pronouns she or her would have worked just fine.But overall, it was an enjoyable read. I'd actually recommend it to my friends.
