This was ok. It was a little bothersome though, when Carmen wanted Jack to change for her, but wouldn't change for him. He is a policeman and she didn't want him to take risks. Especially since she met him when he was recovering after having been shot by a drug crazed woman. He also didn't understand her fears about risk taking until the end of the book.
It was still a better relationship than he had with his ex wife, who was a piece of work. I hate when people use their kids to get what they want. Whether in books or real life, that is my biggest pet peeve. You don't bring kids into it, and you don't use them. Ever!!

Great start. On p32 and NO idea of the setting :(
10pm page 89 yay! We are in NJ. Still has my attention. Very good on characterization.
Too steamy 4 me. But last scene with policeman (hero) handling a schizophrenic man off meds makes it 4 star for me :)

I would describe it as a "blah" book. Nothing exciting, nothing too terribly passionate, just a standard, run of the mill romance with an accidental pregnancy, which is not even the whole focus of the book btw. The entire focus is these two (I think likable) characters and how they coordinate their hectic lives to have a romance. It wasn't bad - I did like it, it just wasn't memorable.
