Thanks for your review! The idiom use who have bothered me as well. I like how the book isn’t a typical romance novel.

Wow, the boss marries the secretary and it is not motivated by sex? I'm not a romance reader but this sounds like a new avenue! Thanks for the review!

My first impression was that this was just going to be a same-old, same-old romance novel. But the author threw in some unexpected twists that really increased the interest. Thanks for reading.

I enjoyed reading your review. I am not one to delve into romance novels, but your review has me nearly sold on this novel. Interesting to have similar- but different- situations occur then play out... kind of like a parallel universe of would if's played out in sync... Thanks for the lead on a new read!

I like the suspense genre but not heavily into romance. Sounds like a good combination. Too bad the idiomatic expressions didn't quite fit in properly, I hope the author gets to do something about that. Thanks for the review, feel free to check out mine as well.

Thanks for the review! I don't think it's for me (with a good many "take you out of the book" errors and the theme of modern romance), but your review was interesting nonetheless.

Nice review! The combination of romance and suspense in the book intrigues me. Despite the little problems that you mentioned, I think I will read it. The preview has me all expectant.
