My
Review:
I found
this book as a free ebook on Kindle, so I decided to check out this
author. This story didn't do it for me, but I liked the writing
style enough that I'm still reading more by this author.
The
story is about two lawyers on opposite sides. They've worked on and
off against each other for years. Bryn's been attracted to Daniel
for a while but won't act on anything because of his profession.
Daniel didn't even take notice of Bryn until he overhears her talking
about how he's a player. Then the idea's been planted in his head,
he can't believe he missed out beautiful she is, etc.
He asks
her out, manipulates their mutual friend into arranging a date and
still gets turned down by Bryn. Bad things happen and Bryn decides
she really does care about Daniel. She goes to his house to comfort
him, which turns into sex and then they decide they can work out
their problems because they're meant to be together.
I felt
there was a lot of telling instead of showing with this novel. Being
only 83 pages, some of that is to be expected, but it felt like we
didn't get to see any of Daniel and Bryn actually getting to know
each other. From the time Bryn turns him down, there are a few pages
afterwards of us being told that they occasionally talk in the halls
and/or think about each other. Then tragedy strikes and now they
know they can work things out - forgiving themselves and each other
for their misconceptions and live happily ever after. I didn't feel
invested in their relationship mostly because we don't actually see
them having a relationship.
