I wasn't a massive fan of this tripe. The H is a selfish SOB who is not very nice to the h at all while she is a Mary Sue who can't help interfering with the H when he just wants to be left alone to feel sorry for himself and throw a massive pity party.
Be happy the h is happy because he was just a meany to her for 90% of this while the h had the independence to be on her own but chose to be with this butt muncher instead. :(

Wasn't sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised.

This was a sweet story. Liam is a cantankerous grump recovering from a broken leg. Jane is a widow trying to get over the loss of her husband. They are stuck together in a small island off of Vancouver where they both went to be alone.

I loved Liam's grouchiness. He reminded of my dh. Jane is sweet but so naive. Their banter and constant bickering kept me highly entertained. Add Bounder to the mix and I am glad I chose to read this book. It was quite enjoyable.

Readable but tiresome with a weepy heroine and stereotypical brooding guy.

I enjoyed this book. The hero is recuperating after an accident and is a bit cranky because he faces an uncertain future. The h has just got over mourning the loss of a husband who she took long term care of. Both averse to investing in a relationship come together with infuriating sparks. I liked the heroines strength of character.

The novel was annoying for me. All our heroine, Jane did was sulk and cry. It drove me nuts that she was such a child. The hero was almost as annoying but with a side of asshole. The whole novel almost sucked.
