I have never read a book whereby the characters go around continually addressing each other as 'darling' and get away with it!
I'm a fast reader and would normally finish a book within 2/3 days but I struggled with this one just to see if it would get any better. It took me 4/5 weeks and I read three more in the meantime! The so called twist was painfully apparent from the word go.
The heroine Deidre O'Dare (she is addressed by her full name constantly, no one ever seems to just call her Deirdre!) is silly, childish and dare I say it - dopey.
I bought the book from Amazon having read the other positive reviews and was hoping to find something special.
Sorry, Ms Thompson's writing just didn't impress me at all. (Two stars for the Rory sex scene though)
