![]() ![]() The author tried to gloss it over as one of those encounters that happened so quickly that Kate didn't have a chance to explain or stop James before he kissed her, but it still left a bad taste in my mouth. Granted, James didn't realize that she was married until after he kissed her, but she did. The problem? The encounter was a memorable kiss between them-while Kate was still married to Dr. The antagonism between James and Kate came from an encounter years before (a romance staple). Normally, Kay Law creates wonderful characters that leap out of the book into your heart, but that just didn't happen here. I had no more insight into him by a third of the way into the book then I'd gleaned from the first ten pages. I didn't feel like I knew what drove him. James was more of a carboard cutout then a person. The characters! I couldn't like either the hero or the heroine. ![]() The dialogue is witty and fun, her descrptions are vivid without being overly wordy and her prose is easy-to-read without being "dumbed down". Oh, Susan Kay Law's writing style is enjoyable and humorous, as always. I was so surprised that it did nothing for me. So of course I sought out the last book A WEDDING STORY, which is the story of Kate, the very proper oldest Bright sister. I bought this book because I'd enjoyed the other books in the "Marrying Miss Bright" series, THE BAD MAN'S BRIDE (which wasn't a keeper, but a good one-time read), and MARRY ME, which was a keeper. ![]()
