I enjoyed this story although there's much to be said about Lily and Cliff. The concept behind the story was interesting and although the author, Rebecca Rogers Maher, did a great job in its execution I can't help but point out my disappointment with the characters.Don't get me wrong, Lily and Cliff were perfect for each other, but personally, I didn't like them one bit. They were too negative and their opinions and ramblings just made me want to smack them upside the head. I found myself muttering "Such is Life!" and "OMG, get over it!" more than once throughout the story.Having said that, the story was enjoyable and the romance was very good. The characters, although insufferable at times, did have great chemistry and when these two got together?! Phew, they were HOT! Those scenes I thoroughly enjoyed.I did find that the pace dragged a bit in places, especially when Lily or Cliff went on and on and on and on about ALL that's wrong with the world, but that's just my take on it. I don't particularly see the half glass empty most of the time, so that might have something to do with it.In any case, Hurricane Lily was engaging and entertaining. I wanted to find out what what happened to Lily and Cliff to make them think and act as they did and although I understood some of their issues, there were still some things that were unclear. Even though Lily and Cliff had chemistry in spades I don't believe that their pairing will last long, not unless they put some work into it. I didn't get the feeling that they were ready for any kind of emotional connection.All in all, Hurricane Lily was a short, sexy read with characters that even with annoying personalities managed to keep me interested in the outcome of their story.I received this title from the author in exchange of my honest opinion.
