This is more of a 2 1/2 star read for me.
I re-read this because I remember how much I enjoyed it when I first read it (when I was a teenager) and hoped it would live up to my memory, it didn't.
Whilst it was a page-turner, I very much disliked most of the characters, most of the time; a lot of the conflict felt like they were teenagers who couldn't talk out their problems and my biggest gripe was how her getting pregnant was handled.They had sex (nearly while he was drunk and she sober, Yikes), he gets mad she was a virgin and might get pregnant (no protection), they sort it out (barely), have sex again, she gets pregnant (no surprise) and he's mad that's she pregnant... like, what?...
I'll probably read through the others in the series to see if they hold up to my memory or not.
I do like Susan Mallery's writing style so maybe I'll enjoy her newer stuff more.
