Lily & Zach meeting each other gets off on the wrong foot. He thinks she's out to fleece his rich sister and she thinks he's an ass. An active Marine who's used to giving orders, Zach is at a loss as he discovers more about Lily than what he initially assumed. Lily starts falling for him on a road trip to stop his sister's wedding. Romance, intrigue, and mystery ensue. Solid book with good plot that has characters from the other books in the series that I haven't read yet. ( )

Romance ( )

Fun, but uneven. The descriptions of the heroine made it seem like she was stuck in the 1980s, even though the book's from 2003. Ironed designer jeans with stiletto heels? Maybe this is cutting edge fashion, and maybe most 30-somethings dress like this & do big hair & makeup to hang out around the house. Anyway, that, and the errors in the book really kept me from enjoying it as much as I might have otherwise. Also, it had the hero making a stupid assumption about the heroine & sticking with it despite all evidence to the contrary, which always makes me mad. The story about a fake kidnapping and the revitalization of two of the secondary characters' marriage, and the revenge story were all good. A good editor could make this a 5-star book. ( )
