Jenn is very career orientated and wants to move up, but she has a boss who doesn't seem to like her (or anyone for that matter) She was engaged to Thomas but found panties under the pillow of her bed and he just didn't come home one night.
Her sister is getting married which doesn't make her feel better especially when we find out who the guy is.
Shane is a sergeant in the army fighting the war, when he calls home finds his fiancée can't cope with him being in the army and is now with a dentist, so his home coming plans change and he goes to stay with his cousins family.
This is where the two main characters cross paths as Shanes cousin is Jenns boss.
I like the way the story is written it changes from The POV of Shane and Jenn, without being too confusing. (altho at some points its would say something in shanes POV about Jenn, that he wouldn't know as he wouldn't be there to see it. Like they would be talking on the phone and it would say Jenn picked up a glass of water ..... He wouldn't know this)
I liked the chemistry between Jenn and Shane and also the cousins family (really can't remember his name) some very funny moments. I wont lie there were moments where I cried, I can't imagine having my husband be away for that long not knowing if he would make it home.
Its a boy meets girl book but I think it had enough depth to make it a good read, I did have some problems with the story:
The way her sister, mum and dad act like Jenn is being unreasonable. That whole thing was unrealistic, I really hated Jenns family for making her go through that. But then by the end your expected to like them as all is forgiven. These people are evil there is no way you could make me like them, and I don't think Jenn would of gone to the wedding even if it was her sister. And expect the reader just to flip into liking the family. I get Jenn is alone and going through a bad time but this part of the book wasn't done so great. (as I was writing notes I just have a big WTF! When this happened)
I did like the ending it was sweet (maybe too sweet for some) but I'm all emotional at the moment anyway and I loved it :)!
I would give this book a 3.5/5 it didnt take too long to read and I did like most of the story
