First things first. I am beginning to feel like the Ryan Tempe saga WILL NEVER END. The only good thing I have to say on that front is that I didn’t have to listen to endless descriptions of how good looking Ryan is this book. Unfortunately, that’s the only good thing I have to say about it.<\/p>\n

I’m beginning to think they deserve each other, since neither of them seems to have an ability to commit. Or even have a clue what they really want, for that matter. <\/p>\n

So GAH! <\/p>\n

Regarding the mystery, it was interesting, though not her best. <\/p>\n

There was, however, one thing I particularly liked.<\/p>\n

\nEND SPOILER<\/strong><\/p>\n

So although the story was in some ways disappointing, I did like other parts very well.<\/p>\n

And I’m really sick of her ability to make up her mind about her love life.
