- Love this book
This is a contemporary story dealing with some pretty interesting issues that face successful single women: friendships, relationships, who they can trust and who's trying to take advantage. The writing style is pacey and engaging and the plot wonderfully glamorous with an unexpected twist at the end. I loved the fact that the heroine is in her forties: this age group (mine) is under-represented in modern fiction and I totally related to the way she felt and the choices she made. I raved about this ... Read More

- The Dumbing Down of Women
What a pile of drivel. I kept waiting for something to happen - a bright turn of phrase, a surprise in the "plot", maybe a mysterious death! But no. I was stuck on a boat and this was my only book -otherwise it would have ended up in the dumpster. Ladies, please, steamy romance novels can be fun - but this was INSIPID! Do yourself a favor and pass it by.

Rating: - A waste of time
I totally disagree with all other posters. I can enjoy a fun, steamy, romantic novel like the rest of them, but this is far from steamy or captivating in any way. The romance is flat, and plot line is dull, as there really are no conflicts or interesting turns at all until the very end of the book. The first 350 pages just felt like the author's daydream about what the perfect life would be like. Fine. So then give me some interesting characters to learn about and love. Nope. There is NO characterization. ... Read More
