I'm so glad I didn't read this book first because I wouldn't have read the rest of the series. I really enjoy Gibson's light fluffy romance books but once in a while I'll read one I really dislike. This was one of them.
First of all this book is really boring and slow. The characters think themselves to death in a circle and I kept getting feelings of deja vu. Also I think some of the dialogue between Georgeanne and John gets repeated in "Trouble with Valentine's Day" word for word. Added to the fact that I really don't like Georgeanne. She is fussy, lies a lot, very selfish, high maintenance, and what kind of mother watches soap operas with a six year old? The scenes and dialogue between Georgeanne and John lack sizzle. In fact the whole direction of the book is lacking.
The saving grace of this book turns out to be Georgeanne's best friend Mae and hockey goalie Hugh. They don't have a lot of scenes together but I wish the book was about them instead. They had a fun dialogue and their characters were intriguing. I wish I knew their backgrounds more.
I think this book is a poor representation of Gibson's work. So if you end up with this book and hated it, give her another chance. With exception of "Not in the Mood for Love," most of her other books are fun and a quick read.
