3.5

3.5 - this is a good rating considering I have a hard time appreciating the romance genre. I felt the protagonist was personally relatable in numerous ways, and I liked that the men (brother, love interest) in the book were actually good guys. Found a couple things unrealistic, and the writing was just okay. But overall I don't regret the read.

Reread number ???. Crichton is formulaic, but I sure do enjoy the formula. Reading Crichton is my version of watching Hallmark movies, and Jurassic Park is still my favorite one.
