A Family Business #3
Table for Two
Does she dare have seconds?
Mallory Ford hasn't seen her ex, Travis Kincaid, since she caught him in a rather compromising position a year ago. Now he's back in town, and while heat still flickers along Mal's skin when he's near, she's already learned her lesson--the oh-so-hard way.
Except that Travis is playing to win Mal's heart, for good. Which is perfectly ridiculous. Nothing can put Mal's heart back together again, especially not the man who broke it. Some mistakes can't be erased...unless Travis can prove to Mal that what they have is too perfect to forget.

Not necessarily in that order.
Jennifer McKenzie lives in Vancouver, Canada where she enjoys being able to ski and surf in the same day—not that she ever does either of those things. After years of working as a communications professional and spending her days writing for everyone else, she traded in the world of water coolers, cubicles and high heels to write for herself and wear pajamas all day. When she’s not writing, she’s reading, eating chocolate, trying to talk herself into working off said chocolate on the treadmill or spending time with her husband.

Well, that was a colossal waste of time.
I went into this completely blind, liked the blurb and was expecting an angst filled, cheating hero book. They never deal with the cheating, we get an apology and a little inner guilt, but he spends most of the book cajoling her into sex, and she suffers from terminal treacherous body syndrome.
Don’t waste your time or money on this one.

Travis, the hero, was an immature child. Mallory's dad has a heart attack and she needs to relocate from Aruba where she and Travis live and own a bistro back to Vancouver to help her family. He can't understand why. He suggests breaking up because he is mad she is making this a unilateral decision. Her father had a heart attack, did I mention that? An hour after they break up she catches him with another woman. His head between this woman's legs. Nice. An hour later.
If the heroine did this would she be shown in any kind of sympathetic light? Usually these are the evil OW types.
He comes back to Vancouver a year later after selling the bistro because he needs to be closer to his sick Grandmother and now he understands Mallory better. He also wants to get back together. He acts as if Mallory is being unreasonable for not giving him a second chance. Her family who don't know what happened take his side until one of the brothers finally learn the truth and is pissed. Gee. Whatever for??
He still doesn't take full responsibility for his behavior. Any of it. When he is confronted with the idea he cheated he barely cops to it. One hour post break up and giving oral to some stranger.
Really??? What a prince.
Mallory deserved a much better hero. I haven't read the others in this series and I certainly won't now.

I had to read this once I'd inadvertently read some spoilers. For those who wish to know .
This could have been a total angst fest, but emotionally there was no connection with the h or the H. It may be because the betrayal happened "off camera" so to speak and prior to us getting invested with the H and the h, yet I don't think so. It was just seemed that neither characters had the depth to pull the reader into their story. It had flashes of potential, just flashes mind. Nor did it make me want to read the other two books in the series.

2.5 lackluster stars.
At the end of the day, I don't have much to say about this one. I didn't care for Mal -- I thought she was whiny. I didn't care for Travis -- at the end of the day, he even admits himself that he cheated and honestly, even as angry as Mal was, I still didn't feel like he had to work hard enough to win her the second time. Then we devolve into this push-pull broken-up-but-still-in-love thing that should have satisfied my inner angst whore, Violet, but when I looked over at her, she was filing her nails, looking bored and wondering why we weren't watching the Ruth Wilson version of Jane Eyre.
I doubt I'll ever pick this one up again. Ultimately disappointing.

Not as good as the other two books in the series. I think in part because the heroine didn't ever open up in any significant way.

This was a cute little fluff read, predictable characters and plot but keeps you entertained.

Fun read. Terrible cover art.
