I had heard such great reviews of this book and I really liked the premise, a handsome movie star wrongly convicted of a crime kidnapping an ordinary woman and hiding out in a remote cabin. Sounded like it could be great and it was to a point. I enjoyed the book when it was the two of them forming a relationship in the cabin in Colorado, but once Julie "escapes" the whole book goes downhill from there right into a bucket of cheese. I wish I could have just stopped reading there and skipped to the happy ending, but no I read on through the great misunderstanding that made the heroine do the most awful thing to the hero. I couldn't believe it. And then when the hero forgives her (how could he??) and spends the time with her in her hometown. Ugh, way too cheesy. And sadly with McNaught's determination to use actual film star names through out the book it dates the book terribly. It really ruined it for me. The heroine was just too perfect, she was practically a saint and I just can't relate to that I'm afraid. Characters that were mentioned and seemed to be important suddenly just disappeared from the book and were never heard of from again. Did the author get distracted? I can't quite understand how this book is so well loved, but perhaps people need a little cheese in their lives.
