Although this isn't the first book I've read by Lucy Monroe, it is the first book that wasn't a Harlequin. I enjoyed the story, however I do have to mention that it is light on the suspense and heavy on the romance between the two main characters. It was more of a self-discovery for the heroine...learning to accept herself for who she is...not letting outside opinions shape the woman she is supposed to be. At first, Beth kind of bothered me...she was a bit whiny and seemed to dwell on the fact that she was left at the altar three years ago. Although, since I have never been stood up at the altar...maybe it is okay to still be whiny about it three years later.
However, she did redeem herself as the story goes along. She is a person who has intense emotions...but all through her life people have been telling her she is too intense, feels too much. But then she has an epiphany and discovers strength in who she is...
"I've come to realize I'm an intense person. And that's okay with me. You don't have to like it. My parents don't have to like it. Alan doesn't have to accept it. But I do accept it and I'm through trying to fit in with people who don't."Now Ethan is your typical manly man...an agent for the company that Beth's father runs. "He's tough, smart, and fearless. Exactly the guy you want when the stuff hits the fan." And it is exactly the type of man that Beth avoids at all costs...she doesn't date agents...ever. But when they are thrown together on a case...the sparks start to fly. And as time goes on...the fire ignites into an explosion of passion.
Lucy Monroe mixes incredible lovemaking, humorous dialogue, and throws in a dash of suspense and mystery to make this a very good read. I loved how her characters explored sides of themselves that were hidden from the world.
