Christine's Reviews > Next in Line

This was my first book by this author...I'm not sure why I picked this up out of order, but skimming some other reviews, it seems like I really shouldn't have, that books #1 and #3 of this series were better. And unfortunately, there was nothing in this book that makes me want to give the author a second chance to find out if this was just her inevitable stinker. (Every author writes one after a while.)

I did enjoy the meet cute at the beginning. After that, things went downhill.

Biggest problem: MC was annoying and incredibly immature. Her fairy tale dreams are ludicrous, and she doesn't let go of them even when she really should! Sam, meanwhile, is a tired cliche who came across as being much too old for Maggie. I don't mean in physical years, though 9 years is often a lot when one of you is 22 and the other 31, but in maturity. The resulting mismatch was a bit squicky to read.

Can I also just say that sex in a bar bathroom is gross? Seriously gross. Not romantic. Gross.

I didn't quite finish (although I got close).
