Review: Fan of the series, not so much this book

First let me say, don't let my 3 star review stop anyone from reading this if they are fans of the Sullivan books. I have greatly enjoyed this family and when there are so many books in a series there is bound to be one that doesn't quite make the mark. I love Belle Andre and will continue to purchase books as long as this is a once in a while occurrence. My main beef with Just to Be with You was the continual internal dialogue of Ian. I don't like to feel like I'm sitting through someone's psychoanalysis in a book. It feels like armchair psychology is being spouted at times.  Also, the notion that someone is protecting someone from themselves without a real valid reason is tiresome. Many themes are the same in romance novels, but it's the characters working it out verbally that keep us coming back for more as readers. If I'm constantly reading about a character's inner dialogue, I get bored. I just felt like so much more could have been written about Ian and Tatiana. She was such an interesting character and Ian was pretty one-dimensional.  I will still continue on with these Sullivans because I enjoy them, but hope the next one comes together with less mental gymnastics and more verbal/physical interaction with the H/H. Continue to love the appearance by the other family members. Great series overall!
