Hmmm, this one had some great potential. But I gotta say the middle really dragged. The heroine fell in love with the hero when she was 4 years old and he was 14 and she spent the next 20 years begging him, the boy next door, to marry her. I didn't need a play by play of all those years. So she finally wears him down only to realize on her wedding night that he didn't really love her. And he didn't. The man admits later that he had put off the wedding so long because he was waiting for the great love of his life to show up. So on his wedding night he takes a few work calls and actually pulls out of her to answer his phone. He makes plans to leave and deal with a work situation. It will only take a couple of days and he doesn't understand why she is so upset. It is only when she leaves his ass that night that he falls in love with her. By this point we are 3/4ths of the way through the book. So then she runs and he chases her and I think in the end the explanations and groveling were a little too short. I'm glad I read it but it won't be a reread I don't expect. ( )
