SUPER SWEET H/H BUT SADLY ABSOLUTELY NO SPARKS

36 yr old Paige's mentally abusive marriage had really done a number on her self esteem and confidence - now divorced she's trying hard to put all that behind her and, with the help of her bubbly Sister Lil, she is slowly coming out of her shell. A big action movie is being shot in town starring Grey Richards and Lil really wants to go to see the handsome Actor but when they get there it's the mysterious man sitting to one side that Paige's eyes keeps being drawn to.

Over various events Paige learns that the handsome man with the mismatched eyes is actually Grey Richard's brother Kellan and he first strikes up a tentative friendship with Paige which, over time, leads to kisses, tender touches and the start of a sweet romance. But when the film is wrapped up Kellan has to head back to L.A. and, after weeks of mere phone calls Kellan invites Paige to come and try out his lifestyle and see what they could be together. With nerves, excitement and anxious trepidation over their forthcoming relationship Paige boards the plane that will change her life forever.... in tragic horrific ways, in heartbreaking ways and in ways that is going to severely test their feelings for one another.

This listen started out ok and the romance was slow and sweet but I never actually felt any passion between them and there was absolutely no sexual interaction other than a few tender kisses on cheeks, forehead etc and a couple of lip smackers.... but no touches, caresses or longing heated looks.... not even any sexy thoughts. So, although the romance was supposed to be there, I sadly didn't really feel it and, when the tragedy happened, there was even more strain on their relationship..... which eventually, understandably and predictably snapped. Even, months later when they'd made peace with each other and the HEA was in sight, the only vibe I got from them was friendship rather than any form of sizzles.

There were a few twists, drama and gruelling emotional heartache but there was also some plot threads that weren't explained or followed up. Their story was broken into 5 parts with each part being told from either Paige's or Kellan's POV's, the narrator was fine with female voices and emotions but I didn't much like her male voices which really didn't help with my enjoyment of the story.
