2.0 out of 5 stars Missing The Romantic Spark 10 Aug 2002
By mayfayre - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I have very mixed feelings about this book. On one hand, the story had a few interesting bits and pieces, but on the other, it never became a book that I couldn't put down. It never truly flowed well. The emotions of the characters were too superficial, and the introduction of a secondary love interest for the character Kate broke the flow of the main romance. I think the main problem was the character of Kate. There was nothing unique about her character - she was the stereotypical, self-important psychologist who had an almost pathological hatred of sports, which just never was believable. Her narrow-mindedness and gullibility became annoying after a while. While the character Jeff fell more and more in love with her, the source of the attraction eluded me. He actually seemed too good for her. The secondary characters never had much personality and really added very little to the story.

Romantic tension was stated rather than created, giving the reader no emotional involvement in the story. Time seemed to just flow in the story without much of anything happening. There was a strange interlude where everyone went water skiing, which really made no sense, since it didn't seem as though the "sport experience" changed Kate's attitude at all. If you want a rather tame romance with no explicit scenes, and where the moral of the story is that true love doesn't necessarily have to conform to rigid rules, then this is the book for you.

2.0 out of 5 stars Awful Heroine 23 May 2002
By laura joy - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I have read the first half of this book, and although I usually force myself to complete a book once I've started it, I have no desire to read the rest of this one.

I simply do not like Kate. She is so repressed it's painful. She's mean to Jeff, and she's mean to her kids. There is no way that someone so unable to get along with others or to take an introspective look at herself could be a sucessful psychologist.

Jeff is a great male lead, and should have her head over heels in love. Why is there so little ROMANCE in this romance novel?

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous! 9 Sep 2001
By Maudeen Wachsmith - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Doctor Kate is a radio talk show host who has avoided jocks and sports like the plague after the death of her husband - a certified sports nut. So she is none-too-happy when a fellow talk-show host moves in next door. She is even more unhappy when he makes friends with her young son and encourages his love of baseball. Jeff is handsome, funny, intelligent, and good to her child - what more could Kate want? Unfortunately, she doesn't see these things and instead keeps looking for Mr. Perfect.

Meanwhile, Kate thinks she has found the man of her dreams. Grayson White is handsome, successful, classy - and interested in things other than sports. He takes her to the opera and to expensive restaurants - literally sweeping her off her feet. She's immediately smitten.
I have known women like Kate - heck, she could be me! More than once in my single days what I thought I was looking for wasn't what I really needed. . . And so it is with Kate. She thinks Grayson is the man of her dreams when her real prince is sitting right next door - literally. Unfortunately, Kate very nearly gets herself in over her head with Grayson before the shocking truth about him is revealed. I applaud Sheila Rabe for not sticking with the "rules" of romance and, instead, making this book into something that is REAL. And she does this with her trademark wit and humor. Those who continually find fault with the romance genre should certainly take a look at this book. These things can happen in real life - and do. Thank you Sheila for another wonderful read.
