Right away in chapter one, you get hit with this confusing Spanish--"La va a pesar" and "No le veo la punta.
Has the author even heard Spanish? The story then begins with a public proposal to Tamara, who has been living under the control and constant scrutiny of her overbearing mother.

I did not like the whole back-and-forth thing when Will and Tamara had their first kiss. It was annoying and really unnecessary to the flow. It was like listening to a song, then, half way through, stopping it and having to go back to the first part. The whole thing is written in multi-character perspective, which is fine with me; but I just don't like it when the perspective keeps changing in the same chapter, in the same paragraph.
The author should've kept that more uniform. Also, the attraction between Will and Tamara was sort've surreal--in other words, not genuine.

It seemed like they were just slapped together at the last minute to make the story work. And, another thing, the book was full of awkward phrasing, like, "Her hair whispered against the pillow. I don't even know what this means. No doubt about it that this book could've used some more editing. Aug 19, Skyqi rated it liked it. Tamara is twenty-six years old.

Will her mother forgive her? The romance was adequate, but very predictable. It felt like someone decided this book needed to hype the sexy romance angle and I found that to be the weakest part of the story. The best story line was the relationship between Tamara and her mother, Susan. The author does a great job of showing both characters' beliefs and feelings.
Susan's character could have easily been portrayed as an unreasonable tyrant, but her thoughts were revealed and you could understand why she felt justified in her extreme reaction. I was really engaged and hoping for a happy ending. The author also does a good job with minor characters, Tamara's father and her new boss at the art gallery. There is a strong theme in this book of characters breaking with tradition or going after their dreams.
I really liked that and overall I liked this book. Jun 24, Jill Sorenson rated it liked it. I liked the characters and the writing but I'm not a big fan of chick lit. I wanted more time with the couple, less with Tamara's parents. I didn't understand why Will picked Kristen over Tamara at one point.
It seemed more like a delaying tactic than a natural part of the story. I also wanted to see him appreciate the qualities Ruben didn't--Tamara's haircut, sexy outfits etc. Many Spanish errors but good job with the "New Mexican" culture. Aug 15, Yoli rated it liked it Shelves: This was a really quick read. It wasn't the best book I've ever read but it was short and to the point.
I think that its good it moved swiftly otherwise the reader would get bored. I can't honestly say if I would or would not read more of her books based on this one. But I will attempt another title.
