This was the worst book. Book 1 was great! Shane was perfect, and she loved him. But now Sophie has to go end it for someone else.

At the end of book 1 there is hope for a couple by the famous matchmaker who never gets it wrong. The whole book was leading to that. Book 2 completely erases that and makes book 1 not even necessary and debunks all myths about love book 1 set out to ring true. I also believed that her relationship in book 1 was more believable. Perhaps if the author had ended Keira’s relationship with Shane differently, it might have made for a better romance story in Italy. Overall, disappointed with this book and as I will continue to read the series, I don’t think they will captivate me as much as the love story between Keira and Shane

So unrealistic, horribly edited. And unbelievable. I groaned during the first book because of its preposterous plot (and again, horrible editing - her “time” was all off) but thought I’d try this second one since I am a masochistic optimist. And, I liked Shane even though he talked like an American with the same slang - despite being in a remote part of Ireland and growing up on an Irish sheep farm. The author throws out the words love and soulmates like Baskin Robbins flavor the month. I understand that there is more than one love in a lifetime. But Love isn’t a 30 day wash and rinse cycle. I was shocked and dumbfounded with what she did with the plot line. She totally invalidated the first book and as a reader, I don’t like being told my last commitment of time to her was a waste. Readers give their authors trust that they won’t force or manipulate stories. A good author would have told Keira’s stories with compassion and humanity. We would have felt a slow realization about the complications and subtleties of love. I don’t care that she wound up with Cristiano (I can’t even say that name in my head without thinking “who names their character that?” That in itself was a contrivance), I just wanted it to be understandable as to why.

Want a romance novel that you cannot put down? Then this is it. Join Keira and Shane on an exciting adventure in Ireland as they explore their feelings for one another. It Is a page turning romance that will leave wanting more and more. Pat from CT
