Pick Up Husband For Real Created By Catherine George Displayed As EPub
picked it yesterday night and I was up tillin the morning to finish it,
I liked both of them but as usual I'm more into h, I love her independence as adult as I love her insecurities as a girl, trying to make the aloof hero fall in love with her.
The book had a lot of flashbacks, I totally loved them, I love the fact they were giving a different perspective because they were in the past, I liked that they circumstances of their breaking up was in the past because I was given her point of view in the situation.
I loved how their story began, They were wonderful even if young,
Besides I love the fact they were very normal people, She was not a hysterical whining child and he was not the usual cruel abusive husband,
This was my first CG here and it was a very nice surprise! I hope to read her again in the future cute i really love this romance.
. . yes i believe that if you love someone in a way so strong, like Rose loves James, you will never forget also if there are some understading or problem.
. you heart will always beloved to this person, . Rose and James fell in love while in college, He is four years older and a dashing heartthrob on campus, Rose is a sweet innocentyear old with a super big crush on James, She lives with two other roommates, One night they select a man's name out of a hat and dare each other to get that man to fall in love with them.
Supposedly this was some kind of scientific project, Of course, Rose picks James and her friends set out to coach her on how she can get good ole' James to notice her and fall in love.
There are some wonderful flashbacks with some incredibly tender moments about how they meet, date and fall in love.
However, the story falls apart halfway through the book when the author stops using flashbacks and introduces us to the current James and Rose.
Finally, after ten years of being separated and having a serious live in lover, Rose finally decides to move on with her life and get a divorce.
Unfortunately, the Rose and James in the present are nothing like the past, The passionate chemistry between the two is missing and I had a hard time feeling that their love survived ten years.
Especially Rose, she was just one cold woman, I also didn't like the fact that both of them were very cavalier about their marriage vows and had intimate relationships with other people never bothering to divorce.
The author left me perplexed on a few things:
why did they stay married foryears and never try to reconnect
why did James feel the need to get revenge on Rose Oh yeah, there was some kind of revenge twist thrown in that made no sense.
After all, what was Roses real crime Let's see, she saw a young attractive man on campus that she wanted to meet.
She reached out to sophisticated girlfriends for advise on how to get him to notice her, She worked really hard to worm her way into his heart, all the while giving him hers.
If that's a crime, then sign up me andof the world's population!
The story in the past was dynamite, but the reconnection in the present could have been so much more powerful.
Leído el I'm going against the tide on this one, because while I love second chance stories, this one had too many elements/tropes that I dislike for me to really enjoy it.
NA flashback scenario I don't like NA novels with the petty triangles, intrigues and pressures of university life.
H/h met in university and the heroine pursued the hero on a bet, Their relationship exploded and died after the hero found out about the bet and that the heroine was not pregnant which is why they got married in the first place.
H/h have other partners during their separation, while they are still married, Author drags us along on one of the heroine's dates with an OM and it's no fun especially since the OM has, until that moment, no idea the h is married.
There
is a suspense thread that runs through the story, Someone is leaving roses for the heroine and it's creeping her out, sigh I rarely warm up to suspense and I wasn't feeling it here, either,
Those are the elements that I don't like, but delving a little deeper, I just didn't like this heroine.
Yes, she was onlywhen she made that bet with her friends and then treated him like crap not wanting anyone to see them out together, etc.
. . and got in over her head, But all I could think of was if a girl/woman treated my college age son like that I would be livid.
Hero was not a player, She targeted him because he was so serious about his studies and was known not to date.
And even with their breakup, I was team hero since he was angry and said hurtful things in the heat of the moment.
She planned her part of the heartbreak, She targeted him and lied to get him into a relationship, And once she was in the relationship, she lied some more to her friends about her feelings for the hero.
The H/h still have this same dynamic ten years later, Heroine is still lying about her feelings to save face, Still not telling her friends what is really going on with her life, She lies like it's second nature, Hero is still saying angry things, going off in a huff and then being surprised when the h takes him at face value.
I think they'll have a very stormy relationship, but they'll stay together because the can't quit each other even after ten years.
That book description is very misleading, I think this one could have been great with some ironing out, Our hero is a bit, . . I don't know, thick He is just slow and a bit overreactive to things, And I think our poor heroine is just broken, it is never stated but I think she was just shattered by the hero.
Liked the flashbacks but we never got the fight, maybe cause if we read it we wouldn't like the hero anymore.
Eh, skip it, though it is different it doesn't stand out, Didn't like both H and h having 'relationships' while still wed, .stars I very much enjoyed the way this was writtenCatherine Georges humorous style has always appealed to mebut I disliked the ickiness of how far the bet goes and various other parts of the plot.
I think better apologies could have been offered from both of them, too, But good chemistry between H/h as always, This book was work and it might be because of work, It didnt hold my attention, work pressure popped up while I was reading it, What normally takes a couple of hours to read tookdays, It was lovely in the beginning if only cuz I love the name Sinclair cuz one of my most fave hero's named that: Etienne SinClaire Anna amp The French Kiss
Also the youngadult portion was wellwritten.
CG can definitely write youngadult novels,
It got confusing in the end for me though what with the 'oh, actually I wanted revenge' from James.
That was weird. .
