Questions:

1. Christian and Teresa's relationship starts of with them disliking one another, this differs from the love at first sight scenario. Do you prefer this or another type of start?

2. What do you think of Christian's acting career and the film setting?

3. From what I understand this is the third book in the Westerwald trilogy/series, which means some side character’s stories are told in the other two books: The Trouble with Mojitos and Waking up in Vegas. Both of which are now on my to-read list. Have you read any of the other books?

Thoughts:

Christian was cocky but sweet and I found his life story extremely intriguing! Teresa is prim and proper and doesn’t want to feel any feelings that would make her change, and for Teresa this is wanderlust and love.

I really loved reading a romance without any paranormal creatures for a change. And I also liked the bit of mystery in the story, it gave it something extra! I also really enjoy the cover and title, they suit the book perfectly.

I loved this as a light, romantic read. If you loved the movie "Frozen", you'll love this book. Teresa is cast as Elsa, the Snow Queen who believes that her duty to her family and country is all that matters. Where Teresa's self worth is to a large extent determined by her lineage and role in society, Christian had to proof his self worth through hard work and determination. Two very different people who can teach each other a lot about life along the way.

The other two books in the trilogy are definitely on my TBR list now.

Oh wow I never made the Frozen connection. Makes me like it even more! :)

I'm rewarding myself by buying What stays in Vegas this month. I've forgotten how much I like her books.

[Lu]

Ooooh great stuff! Maybe we should nominate her for AoM!

[Carolien]

Great ideas, I'll do it.

[Lu]

Great!
