An ending can make it all better...

How do you rate a book that you thought was just OK throughout most of it but loved the ending?

Well, this little ducky is pretty easy to please. If I'm left with a big goofy smile at the end, you've pretty much sold me.

I think, in this case, I just wanted the heroine and hero to WAKE THE HELL UP...and accept that love is better than a hockey puck.

I think that's the endgame in the book world, well, the romance book world. We're supposed to push aside career goals, life ambitions and deep desires and sacrifice it all for love. Don't get me wrong, that is exactly what I'm looking for in my romance reads, but in reality, not so much.

The main reason for the "OK" was that it was a pretty textbook read. Nothing really new here and I felt that the conflict was drawn out a lot longer than it needed to be. The fact that the catalyst was provided from the outside, made it even more frustrating. I'm not a big fan of the main characters only sharing their secrets because they have to instead of because they want to.

To me, the foundation for a strong relationship is learning to trust the person you're growing close to. Harper's biggest failing is allowing others opinions to guide her judgement and relationships. If she'd allowed her sisters and Remy to help her, a lot of her problems would have been solved.

I guess, the main problem for me is that I couldn't relate to Harper. I'm pretty much an open book, what you see is what you get, kind of person. If I'm struggling with something, you'll know about it. If you want to share my load, join me, I'm generous like that.

Anyways, Irresistible You left me with a smile. Love was the endgame and the conflict was the gameplay. I'm definitely interested in going on in the series...soon...ish.

Should maybe have been a 3 star but I bumped it up. You know...because of goofy smiles and all. Oh, and Remy had some pretty awesome moves and could cook up a storm...HOT!!
