My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Carrie Slayton was tired of reporting for the society pages. She wanted a story that can make a difference. Then a chance to prove herself fell into her lap. If she can find and interview the reclusive author, Finn Dalton, she can have any story she wanted. But when Carrie found Finn, she realized she could fall for this man. But they were from two different worlds. Plus with Finn's hatred towards women and reporters, will they have a chance at love?
Loved it. Sweet, simple and refreshing. This book will be a walk down memory lane as Macomber returns to good, old-fashioned romance. I couldn't put this book down, waiting to see what would happen next. However, the plot can be predictable. So if you are expecting something different, this was not it. The writing was well done as always. The plot was well paced. There wasn't much drama, with a little humor here and there. The characters were likeable, straight and true. (I wasn't a fan of Carrie's friend though. She was little too interfering.) The heroine truly made this story. Carrie had a good head on her shoulders and honest to a fault. I had to respect her. And Finn was just yummy.
In my opinion, the price is a little steep for a run-of-the-mill romance. However, if you are a collector of the author's books, it is definitely worth getting getting the hardcover version for the holiday season and would be a perfect stocking stuffer for a fellow reader. Everyone else? Might I suggest waiting for the paperback version. I only gave it 4 stars since I don't have the urge to reread it. But the story does stay with you and definitely becomes a keeper. If you are into sweet, clean romances, get this book when you can. Fans (especially ones who like the Midnight Sons series) will not be disappointed with this holiday read.
Note: I received this ARC from the Amazon Vine program for an honest review.
