quick easy read with likable characters. worth the read

This is the first book in the Sunrise Key Trilogy

I have mixed feelings on this book. It’s well written, easy to get through and hard to put down. Having been published originally 12 years ago, it showed no signs of being dated. I liked the story line, it was very fairytale and Cinderella-ish. The idea of meeting a stranger and thinking you found your soul mate based on a kiss, appeals to the hopeless romantic in me.

Here comes the BUT…The actual romantic couple in question have a relationship based on teasing, insults and well a long history of being very unkind to one another. I have known people in my life who have enjoyed relationships that were in some sort of constant upheaval and I never understood the appeal of that. Just like I couldn’t understand the appeal these two finally see in one another. Honestly, I found the bickering and their being at odds all the time, tiring. The fighting really brought down the rating on what could have been a fully romantic and sweet story.

Cherise Everhard, November 2008

This contemporary romance has a very nummy hero, who will appeal to readers who enjoy a character who is head over heels in love with the heroine from the start. I enjoyed parts of the story, but it shared the same problem as other early Brockmann romances -- there is no plausible conflict keeping the lovers apart, and I got very impatient with the heroine's inexplicable behavior in constantly backing away from him.

Leila Hunt is swept off her feet by a ninja at a costume ball. Her almost fiance remains too busy with work to join her in Florida while she tries to figure out who the secret ninja is. He works hard to get her to forget their arguing and tormenting each other since childhood. A pleasant, light read.
