HOME WAS THE MOST DANGEROUS TERRITORY OF ALL FOR THIS MARINE ...

Brian Reilly was a man on edge. It had been two long weeks since he and his brothers had made a "no sex for ninety days" bet before Tina Coretti Reilly turned up on his doorstep. And now that his beautiful ex-wife was within arm's reach again, he didn't know how he'd survive!

Reviews

[Dina · Rating 1 out of 5]

I knew the initial setup of this book was kind of silly - 3 brothers make a no-sex-for-90-days bet - but I was willing to go with it believing this would be a humorous read. Unfortunately, this book didn't put a single smile upon my face. I didn't like Brian (his reasons for divorcing Tina 5 years ago were ridiculous), I despised Tina for her deceptive behavior (she tried to trick him into getting her pregnant and had the nerve of believing her actions were justified), and I didn't want them to live HEA.

In a few words: I did not like this book at all. :(

Not a fan of this story. Such potential but didn't deliver.

I enjoyed reading this book. Beautiful story.

I like how Maureen Child writes. I like the way that the story just involves the two people. No cheating spouses. I like the concept that there is a true love out there for you. And to find that love is a true gift.

This series really paled in comparison to the other romance novels I've been reading, the whole break up thing was ridiculous in the first place, and I had a hard time liking the characters.

Trickery and deception by the main characters.

[Ladyacct · Rating 4 out of 5]

Simple easy and fun read even though the hero was a Marine - he was a MORON.
