3.5 StarsI thought this one would be a lot worse than it was. It was pretty much an angstfest with the H putting the hot, better-than-the-her, OW/cousin before h. There was lots of chasing (by the H), gut wrenching slams after tender moments, overheard conversation damning the H, h's nose being rubbed into the H&OW's relationship, which took front seat to the the H&h's...all that heart wrenching stuff. It was great! ;D
There was some stuff that just didn't work for me, though, that I'll put here in the little hidden spoiler drawer. Don't peak. It'll ruin the whole tone of the book. ;D The OW/cousin admits that she knew that the h was listening to their conversation but didn't tell the H. All that crap she said that made it sound like she and th H were a romantic couple was just a set up. She also admits that she hated the h, and tried her best to make her miserable and ruin the H&h's relationship/marriage, which she did..for FOUR years! However, during the big reveal, she just gave off this "Oh, I was in a bad place then. Sorry," and the h just lapped it up like a thristy hound with a "That's ok. I totally understand. You don't have to say any more." Feh! What a load of crap! I don't care what happened in her history. The broad should've been branded the evil harpy she was and barred from any further contact from both of then. That kind of nasty doesn't go away with few therapy sessions. Instead everythings was forgiven and they all became beeeest frieeeeends. I think not. This was the epitome of the too sweet, cookie cutter ending. Griped the hell out of me.
I can pretty much recommend this book to anyone who loves these angsty, angry, OW Harleys.
