Helpful Score: 2
Natalie McCleary lives in a town named Cupid and is surrounded by true life tales of love at first sight and romance. She even writes letters as Cupid and is up to her neck in her family legacy all revolving around love and love at first sight. But shes never been in love. She isnt sure she believes in her one and only true love. That is until she locks eyes on a Harley riding stranger and then ends up renting a room to him.
Dade Vega is as jaded as can be when it comes to relationships and love. But meeting Natalie has him thinking and feeling things he has never felt nor wanted to feel before.
I really, really wanted to love this book and I almost did. I have read other reviewers remark on the not being able to buy into the whole love at first sight thing, but that didnt bother me at all. That portion of the story was believable and sweet. Its the sort of thing I read romances for. Its not every day real like, but you hope and wish it were!
What kept me from loving this book was the dialogue and then the mystery of Red and how that all wrapped up. The dialogue between characters at times seemed odd, or just not realistic. Especially some of the conversations Natalie and Dade got into it just felt awkward to me. As for Red and the whole mystery of his disappearance and the solving of the case it just didnt fit. I was left asking huh? That part of the storyline was so farfetched and just didnt fit with the sweetness and flow of the rest of the tale.
Those nitpicks aside, I didnt love this book, but I certainly enjoyed it. I am really looking forward to the next story and think this series has the potential to be wonderful.
