I do feel like it did not realize its potential. I like the friends to lovers theme. I like the unrequited love theme. I like the falling in love with your brother's best friend theme. This book didn't really take advantage of any of them. The writing was not bad but I felt that the plot was not really tight. The rest of this review is what I would tell this author if I was in a critique group with her. There are major spoilers so read at your own peril. Then there's the whole thing with all the brothers. I would have liked to see a lot more of actions and reactions to their relationship. Would have liked to see them interacting with her family. If these guys are going to hit the roof, let's see them do it. Sounds like interesting reading. And show me some reason that they might be pissed at this guy whom they are all friends with getting into a relationship with their adult sister. But there is nothing, just a vague assertion that 'Jake will never fall in love.' Umm why do you say that Smith? I got tired of the self pity from Jake. At this point in time there really isn't that big of a stigma over dyslexia. I can understand being embarrassed while you're still young or if you still can't read. But this guy hired tutors for himself for 10 years to learn to read. That shows balls. Good for him. I have a dyslexic friend. He freely admits, hey I'm dyslexic, I read slow. Nobody thinks he's stupid. Plus the whole, my father beat me thing. It seemed like lip service to a "bad boy". He keeps harping on 'he can't give her the life she deserves.' I don't get it. He loves her, has always loved her. He has pulled himself up by the bootstraps, taught himself to read and owns a bunch of pubs which have made him rich and famous. He's a friend of the family and they all like him. Where's the downside here? I also had a problem with the scene where she's in the hospital maybe having a miscarriage. In that situation it just isn't realistic that they would not have let the father of the baby in because he wasn't family. Actually he is. He's the baby's father. I know this for a fact since before I married my husband, I had a miscarriage and he was right there with me throughout the entire thing married or not. There was too much sex in the book. That sounds like I'm a prude which I'm not at all. But having a pages long sex scene, the flow of which is interrupted by introspection on both their parts about feelings of unworthiness and whatnot, then having the characters wake up in the morning to another pages long sex scene complete with random introspection is just too much. I want some story. Perhaps some of those scenes with her family? And these were far from the only sex scenes. I was hoping one of her brothers would walk in on them. That would have been interesting! So basically the things that happen when they aren't in bed or heading that way are: a bunch of long speeches at her brother's wedding which since I hadn't read the book before, I wasn't really interested in. And even if I had, we didn't need to read a complete toast from each Marcus, Smith, Gabe, Zach, Ryan, Jake, Lori, Sophie and Mary. Overkill. A half of a page of a hen party followed by telling Lori that Sophie is pregnant. A visit to the doctor. One day spent in San Francisco. And how did she have a card that let her break into some sort of municipal pool? Details please. A trip to the library. A bout of fisticuffs with one brother after which the brother admits that he's always known that Jake loved Sophie and it's cool, welcome to the family. So why exactly he felt the need to fight with him I don't know. Had he been a known drug dealer or a mafioso maybe that would have been justification for all the angst. Sophie wasn't a virgin and I don't know as any other guy got beat up. A fight between Sophie and Jake about whether he is good enough for her since he's a slow reader. A trip to the hospital where everyone is all on board with their relationship. And a marriage with some bait for the next book. That all sounds harsh. It really wasn't bad it just needed polish and some thought to making the plot and motivations tighter. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: Get ready for another Sullivan to fall in love Bella Andre's bestselling contemporary romance series! BOOK DESCRIPTION: Sophie Sullivan, a librarian in San Francisco, was five years old when she fell head over heels in love with Jake McCann. Twenty years later, she's convinced the notorious bad boy still sees her as the "nice" Sullivan twin. That is, when he bothers to look at her at all. But when they both get caught up in the magic of the first Sullivan wedding, she knows it's long past time to do whatever it takes to make him see her for who she truly is...the woman who will love him forever. Jake has always been a magnet for women, especially since his Irish pubs made him extremely wealthy. But the only woman he really wants is the one he can never have. Not only is Sophie his best friend's off-limits younger sister...he can't risk letting her get close enough to discover his deeply hidden secret. Only, when Sophie appears on his doorstep as Jake's every fantasy come to lifeâ??smart, beautiful, and shockingly sexyâ??he doesn't have a prayer of taking his eyes, or his hands, off her. And he can't stop craving more of her sweet smiles and sinful kisses. Because even though Jake knows loving Sophie isn't the right thing to do...how can he possibly resist? Book 1 in the Sullivan series, THE LOOK OF LOVE, Book 2, FROM THIS MOMENT ON, and Book 3, CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE, are also available!
