Members Reviews:
Great story and characters
I just finished this book and had to post a review right away. I am loving this book series. Brooke is a strong, spirited character who thinks she's strong and brave but eventually learns how to face her fear of love. Billy moves back to town after a baseball career ending injury and rediscovers the only woman he ever really loved. His caring heart and generous spirit made me root for him from the beginning. Great story!
modern romance
two highschool friends , he goes to play pro baseball she to college they meet up ten years later back home both looking for the same fresh start
Okay
I didn't care for this one as much as the first. Brooke was irritating. It felt like the author didn't quite understand her and didn't explain her fully. There was too much navel-gazing for me, too. Still, the writing is good enough that I am going to read the third in the series.
Loved him! Her, not so much...
I didn't read the first book in this series, but this was a freebie, so I decided to give it a chance.
Billy was hands down the best part of the book. He was generous, sweet and nice to everyone. An injury ended his professional baseball career, so he helps his grandfather realize his dream of owning a vineyard. He hires Brooke, the girl he kissed once in high school, to manage the place. I really didn't see what he saw in Brooke.
At first, I liked Brooke, but she quickly got on my last nerve. She was constantly hot and cold about Billy, and seemed to be judging him all the time. She had him pegged as a jerk and a womanizer with zero proof that he was either. She also held a huge grudge about high school, which seemed really childish.
This book was a bit on the long side, it dragged at times, especially when in Brooke's head. If it were 20-25% shorter it would help.
the heroine is a witch
I didn't care for this one. The heroine was such a -itch. I really had a hard time understanding why the hero even liked her. I get it that she was pretty but is that really enough to have you being treated like dirt? I just don't get that. I can understand that she was disappointed she didn't get to buy the vineyard however, since he paid millions for it what are the odds that she could get it with a bank loan? Not likely. She just had a chip on her shoulder bigger than needed to be!! I just didn't like anything about her and had a hard time understanding why he just kept trying to get on her good side when she was so pissed at the world.
I did quit reading. I just was not enjoying the story at all. I do think it had a lot of potential.
