Review: Didn't connect enough

(originally posted on my GR account)After reading 'One Perfect Night' and watching Rafe and Mia making brief appearances, I couldn't wait to read the first book in the Sullivans of Seattle (though book 9 in the whole series).Rafe's being someone whose story I've been curious to read ever since he first showed up on his cousins books (Sullivans of San Francisco) and 'One Perfect Night' only made me more excited to read him.'The Way You Look Tonight' finally gives readers the chance to get to know him, his family and the woman who owns his heart: Brooke Jansen.But before I talk more about Rafe and Brooke, I have to admit I couldn't help feeling nostalgia because I wasn't visiting San Francisco and The Sullivans who own my heart. There are some mentions and one cameo but I really missed them. (And I might start re-reading the first 8 books because of that).Now, onto Rafe and Brooke...I enjoyed their story, I enjoyed getting to know Rafe more, as well as I enjoyed meeting Brooke, BUT their story didn't catch my interest like the previous books in the series.There were things going on between them but sometimes I felt like nothing was going on. I just didn't connect completely with them as a couple.Anyhow, I seem to be one of the few people who've read the book who feels this way, so I encourage you--if you're a contemporary romance fan--to give this book and 'new series' a chance. I certainly will with the next one: Mia Sullivan's book.And if you haven't read any of The Sullivans, I absolutely recommend you to start now.
