I have to say, part one was better. There was just so much more build up to the story in part one. I felt like I was single handedly trying to pull a freight train up a hill. You're trying, and trying, and trying, then FINALLY you reach the crest. Sheer exhaustion and triumph right? So you do your happy dance but you don't get the satisfaction because no one else was there for you to share your feat with. That was part one for me. I was happy with it but I wanted more. So I bought part two...pshaw
Here goes my depiction of my emotional ride for this one: So there's going to be a party right? We know there's going to be a party, we just don't know when. But we want to prepare because we want it to be good. So we spend all day blowing up balloons. Lots and lots and lots of balloons. Now we have an entire room of balloons. But sadly we must have bought the helium on discount, because there is something drastically wrong with our balloons...They are losing air! What? NO! How can this happen, we've spent all day preparing for a perfect party? But there it is, right in front of you, party about to start & balloons halfwalf deflated...

Part 1: anticipation & you think you've got a 'win' but there's no point in celebrating yet, part 2: you got to the party but the balloons have already 'crapped out' on you. $1.99 for an approximation of 94 pages? Yep, someone definately let the air out of my balloons...

Nina marrying Alex or not

Tommy had his brain surgery and Alex was there throughout the whole thing with Nina. When the Dr came in to give the report on the outcome of Tommy's surgery Alex had a look of feat and concern on his face. That was when Nina realized that he true cared for not only Tommy but Elizabeth and Pete also.

This business deal that Nina and Alex has been going really well untill Alex asked her to marry him. She said after Tommy was moved back home she would give him her answer.

Except when Tommy was transported to Vanderbilt Hospital Nina said she needed more time. Alex wanted his answer by the end of a party she was originally ask to work but Alex told Nina's boss she couldn't work that night she was busy. Alex was taking her to the party she was asked to work for and she told him he will get his answer at the end of the evening.

Does Nina tell him yes or no? Read the book to find out.....

Happy reading!

1.5-2 stars.

The first book had a speck of romance... this one opened the window and let it fly away.

Alex is a huge ass in this one. Huuuuggggeeee...

And I feel the overall idea of this one is for Nina to marry a man who, at the most, will only become her friend, just to have financial security. After all, she already married for love, she doesn't need it again (no lie, this was close to what her mother-in-law told her).

Why should she fall for this ass is beyond me.

Since I've read the first two books, I'll read the third one to see how this ends. But zero romance in this one.

I agree with the some of the other reviewers. No romance from Prince Charming? I would have dumped him long ago. He is so interested in keeping his heart sealed up, that he has forgotten how to,love and be open. He sure knows how to,open his pocketbook, though. I could live with that for sure!

Well from Night in shining armour to Mr. Gray in part 2 of this captivating series. Part 1 had my heart all a flutter while part two, well let's just said it made other parts of my body flutter. Part 3 to the rescue.
