This story follows Vivi LaBlanc and Connor Mansfield as they bumble along their way toward that happy ending. Vivi is an ex-beauty queen and Connor is the bad boy. These books are short reads but they don’t feel like them. Sometimes they’re slow to begin and once they take off, it’s fine but getting toward the point where things start getting interesting is sometimes hard to get to and that was how I felt with this book. It took a little bit for me to warm up to the story and to the characters.
Connor as a bad boy hero was convincing and as much as I am a whore for sexy heroes, I found myself annoyed with Vivi for giving into Connor as much as she did because he was kind of an ass. At the annual Saints and Sinners pageant, Vivi is announced as the Saint and Connor is the Sinner. The closer they get to each other, the more Vivi is drawn to him. It’ s surprising to Vivi because she hates his guts and the feeling is completely mutual. Nobody in town has forgotten the whole incident from prom and neither have they.
But as with all romance novels, the two main characters battle and bicker their way toward that happy ending and overall, it was a good book but it took me too long to warm up to the book. There wasn’t anything particularly wrong with the way that it was written but more that I couldn’t connect with either Vivi or Connor. They were both fine characters but they didn’t exactly reach out and grab me the way that I was hoping they would.
So this book is good and I liked it but well, thats about it.
