The description and positive reviews drew me in – sounded interesting. HOWEVER….. If you enjoy mushy harlequin romances (I did in my teen years), which are a shallow vehicle for ‘love and sex’, you’ll like this book. Sickeningly mushy!! I just couldn’t listen to another word without gagging and had to quit at chapter 26. Returning the book for a credit. Might be your cup of tea, but not mine.
