Still, some of Delaney’s beauty shop customers were fun. There were some humorous situations, but the emotional baggage of both main characters took over the whole tone of the book and drove off a lot of the humor. I could also tell this was supposed to be a funny, probably madcap book, but it didn’t really work in that way. Also, by the end of the book, we discover that Delaney’s the only one for him and that he’s wanted her all these years. Promiscuous, rude and arrogant, yes – desirable, no. I didn’t find this guy remotely attractive as a hero. Nick is an excellent example of one of the topics in Laurie’s News and Views – the male slut. He’s slept with several women, avoided relationships like the plague, and has mixed feeling about Delaney. Nick, however, was as obnoxious as they come. She was fairly spunky and defiant, but not stupidly so. I didn’t really have any problems with Delaney as a character. Nick and Delaney have to avoid a sexual relationship or their inheritances are voided – and this is supposed to bring them together? I’d pick $3 million dollars over hormones any day. I can’t even believe that a person would actually set up such an outlandish stunt in his will as Henry does here. First of all, it’s becoming as big a cliche as the cowboy and the secret baby. The will was the first thing to be annoying. If they do, he might get a grandson to carry on his bloodline since he and Delaney’s mom didn’t have any children. He’s set things up in the hopes that Nick and Delaney will get together this time out of nothing more than spite. They’re brought back together again by Henry’s will. Nick tortured and teased Delaney while they were growing up until one night of almost passion between them. Nick Allegrezza is Henry’s illegitimate son whom Henry ignored most of his life. She’s come back for the reading of her stepfather, Henry’s, will. These problems were made worse by a hero I did not like at all.ĭelaney Shaw left Truly, Idaho, to go to college after having been driven away by controlling parents, and never came back. There were problems with underdeveloped characters and lapses in logic.
I’ve been looking forward to Rachel Gibson’s second novel after Simply Irresistible but I was disappointed in this one.
