| There are two parts of this book. In the first part, our heroine, Olivia, is so ignorant that she makes herself miserable. In the second part, she's so dumb and angry that she makes herself miserable. I spent the better part of the book wanting to do something that would make her wake up - figuratively. It doesn't help that I found Spencer to be a self-centered unsympathetic character. Somehow, his noble misery just annoyed me. I'm bummed I didn't like this book. The Door County setting held a great deal of promise. In fairness, someone out there liked this book. It won a Reviewer's Choice award from Romantic Times. It was also garnered a five star review in The Romance Reader. Obviously, there are different tastes out there (and I'll admit that Americana doesn't usually do much for me). |
