No, I don't know Jack, and I never ever want to, ever! What a DULL catastrophe this turned out to be.

When I read the synopsis, I thought, "What a fresh approach to a romance novel." But I was wrong! I should have given up after reading the foolery that is Beckwit in the prologue and all that psychic love nonsense.

What a waste of time! Half the plot was wrapped up within a couple of chapters, turning out to be inconsequential and oh so weak. Then there were almost 25 consecutive pages of sexing [:O?!] and insufferable self-wallowing thoughts from both Jamie and Jack.

Seriously, I'm not even convinced Jack was a man, let alone a desirable one. Sorry, McCarthy, but having 10 million in the bank and taking in stray/homeless people does not make you a catch. He was not only a pansy but a fool. I mean, who goes through life wallowing in self-pity and embarrassment because he has 10 million dollars and the girl of his dreams looks down her broke ass nose on rich people? He kept offering to donate ALL of his supposed hard-earned fortune to charity if she would just be with him. If that's not foolish and idiotic, I don't know what is.

Is McCarthy really that inadequate a writer that she couldn't find some other way to illustrate that money wasn't a priority to Jack, rather than making him into a loser who was ashamed by the fruits of his labor or talent? The man had no hobbies or passion and begged Jamie to love him every chance he got.

It's a given when you read romance to understand that these perfect, loving, giving, and sexy men are written by women, but other authors do an amazing job of making me suspend disbelief. My goodness, all my feelings about Jack went something like this: "Geez, grow some nuts, OMG not again, FOOL, what a pusssssy." Excuse my honesty.

The only saving grace would have been if Jamie realized Jack was useless and went on her way to find a real man, but alas, this did not happen. Oh, and Allison, a bright humorous spot that had me wishing the story was about her. I wanted to save her from the other characters.

Reading this was torture. I even made my sister read it just to prove I wasn't being too critical (she was tormented as well). Next time I see another Erin McCarthy book, I'll just close my eyes and slowly walk away backwards. I was that disturbed, especially after looking forward to reading this. I refuse to be manipulated by McCarthy's stellar synopsis again.

P.S. What mugger did Jack save her from? The dirty man standing next to him on the train minding his own business? Maybe my edition was missing some pages or something.

Some parts of the story were indeed funny. However, quite frankly, I was already fed up by halfway through. To sum it up: it was just about 24 hours after they met, and then there was a whole week of not talking to each other. At Carlos' wedding, it was all about "I love you," but she couldn't get over a small, insouciant lie (which she was aware of when she met "the one" according to her physic). So, all in all, it dragged on and there was too much hanky-panky that I skipped. Nevertheless, the writing flow and style were enjoyable and good.

Because of that, I have bought a few of her new books. I hope that I will enjoy them as much as I did the writing style of this one. I'm looking forward to seeing if her new works will have the same charm and engaging qualities. Maybe the stories in the new books will be more captivating and not have the same dragging issues as this one. Only time will tell, but I'm optimistic that I'll have a great reading experience with her new releases.

One of the aspects that I truly adored about this story was the Psychic.

He was extremely flamboyant, with his larger-than-life personality and mysterious ways. His enigmatic nature added an element of intrigue that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the story.

Moreover, he was also quite amusing, often providing comic relief in the most unexpected moments.

Jack and Jamie, on the other hand, were an amazing couple.

Their chemistry was palpable from the very first moment they met.

Their encounter, which involved a moving accident and a bag of takeaway, was both hilarious and endearing.

It set the stage for their relationship and made me root for them from the start.

Although the story was somewhat predictable in terms of its overall plot, the way it unfolded was simply adorable and highly entertaining.

The author did a great job of keeping the readers engaged and interested, despite the familiarity of the storyline.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this story and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a lighthearted and enjoyable read.

This was my second book by Erin McCArthy, and I was eagerly anticipating a highly enjoyable read. I have a penchant for the way EM crafts her stories and the engaging banter that unfolds between her characters.

In this particular tale, we are introduced to Jack (Jonathan) and Jamie. Their encounter is not by chance; rather, Jack is tailing Jamie to determine if she is the one using her employer's funds to play the stock market. Coincidentally, he is also the brother of Jamie's housemate. When Jamie bumps into Jack on the subway, she has no idea who he is. However, they soon find themselves embarking on a scorching hot date.

Nevertheless, everything takes a turn for the worse when Jamie discovers the true identity of her sexy, adorable, all-night man. The burning question now is whether things will get back on track and if Jamie will be able to forgive Jack for who he is.

The first half of this story had the potential to be a five-star read, but unfortunately, the second half seemed to lose some of its momentum. For me, at least, the story appeared to stagnate. There were a couple of characters who were introduced and were clearly integral to the plot, but I felt that they were not fully developed. Despite these drawbacks, this is still a fun read, and the steamy between-the-sheets action is truly sizzling! It's a great choice for a Friday night.

The plot summary gave the impression that this book was filled with a great deal of deception, espionage, and suspense.

However, in reality, these exciting elements are unfortunately abandoned right from the first couple of chapters.

As a result, the remainder of the book is composed of extended sex scenes that are rather tediously strung together with only some tenuous and extremely weak bits of dialogue.

This makes the book far from what was initially promised by the plot summary.

Readers who were expecting a thrilling and engaging story full of mystery and intrigue are likely to be disappointed.

It seems that the author took a rather unexpected turn and focused more on the explicit content rather than maintaining the elements that initially piqued the readers' interest.

Overall, this book fails to live up to the expectations set by its own plot summary.

It was silly.

Sometimes we do things that might seem a bit foolish in hindsight. Maybe it's making a hasty decision without thinking it through properly. Or perhaps it's saying something without considering the consequences.

But being silly is also a part of life. It allows us to learn and grow. We can look back on those silly moments and laugh at ourselves, realizing that we've made mistakes and can do better next time.

Moreover, being silly can bring a sense of lightness and fun to our lives. It can break the monotony and add a touch of excitement. So, while it might be silly at times, let's embrace those moments and not take ourselves too seriously.

After all, life is too short to be constantly worried about being perfect. Let's have some fun and be a little silly along the way.

Meh, it was just okay.

I found that all the humor in this book seemed a bit forced and unrealistic.

To be honest, it really got on my nerves.

Maybe it was just my mood at that time, but I truly didn't think it was that funny.

This is the third book in a row that has been a bit of a letdown for me.

It's really a drag because the first two books of her racing series were soooo good.

I was convinced that I had discovered another consistently great author.

What a bummer!

It's really disappointing when you have high expectations based on an author's previous work and then the subsequent books don't live up to that standard.

I hope that her future books will be more in line with the quality of her earlier ones.

Otherwise, it will be a pity to see such a potentially great author lose her touch.

Oh, my goodness!

I can't believe what just happened. It was truly an astonishing event.

I was going about my daily business when suddenly, out of nowhere, this amazing thing occurred.

It was like a bolt from the blue, completely unexpected.

The excitement and surprise that filled me were indescribable.

I found myself standing there, dumbfounded, trying to process what had just taken place.

It felt as if time had stopped for a moment.

I'm still in a state of shock, but at the same time, I'm filled with a sense of wonder and anticipation.

I can't wait to see what comes next and how this will change things for me.

This is definitely an experience I'll never forget.

After a while, Jaime was just downright annoying.

I really don't know what else Jack had to do to convince her of his true feelings.

I can totally understand where she is coming from at the beginning. Maybe she has been hurt before and is afraid of getting hurt again.

But towards the end, it seemed to me that she was no longer scared, but just stubborn.

She did not want to admit that everyone else was right and she was wrong.

She held onto her own beliefs and refused to budge.

Either way, the story was still fun, compassionate, and the sex scenes were steamy!

It kept me engaged from beginning to end and I really enjoyed reading it.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good romance with a bit of drama and passion.

I truly relished this contemporary romance penned by Erin. It was a delightful surprise indeed, as this marked the very first of her novels that I have had the pleasure of reading.

The hero within the story was simply scrumptious. His character was crafted in such a way that he was highly appealing and charming.

On the other hand, the heroine was the kind of woman with whom one could effortlessly strike up a great friendship. Her qualities and personality were endearing and relatable.

All in all, it made for a wonderful read on a Sunday afternoon. It was a story that managed to engage and captivate me from start to finish, leaving me with a sense of satisfaction and a desire to explore more of Erin's works.

I would highly recommend this contemporary romance to anyone who enjoys a good love story filled with interesting characters and a charming plot.

This book was rather cute. However, it was entirely unmemorable.

There is nothing about this book that really sticks out in my brain as something that I truly and deeply enjoyed.

I read it just a week ago, and yet I can barely remember the story line.

Let alone any of the specific details or nuances about it.

It seems to have simply passed through my mind without leaving any lasting impression.

Perhaps it lacked that certain spark or uniqueness that would have made it stand out and be remembered.

While it may have had some charming elements, they were not enough to make it a truly remarkable or unforgettable read.

Overall, it was a bit of a disappointment in terms of its memorability.

Well, this book was indeed very interesting.

I gave it a rating of 3.5. However, I have to admit that I wasn't overly impressed with this book.

Sorry to say this as I am a fan of the author. But for some reason, I just wasn't feeling the leading character.

On the other hand, the story of her dad was really quite nice.

There was so much that could have been done with this one.

Maybe if the leading character had been more engaging, I would have had a different opinion.

As it stands, while the book had its亮点, it didn't quite live up to my expectations.

Nonetheless, I still look forward to seeing what the author comes up with in the future.
