The Wedding Hoax by Heather Thurmeier
3.0
This wass my first Heather Thurmeier book and it was a good read. Not extraordinary or amazing but good nonthless.
At first, I really liked Cole. I swooned for the guy. I liked his character and how he was confident and driven, with a touch of sexiness present. But then, his true colours appeared. I didn't love him. He was selfish. He just did nothing for me. I felt like he only cared about his career. It was his one and only priority. I was confused. He loved Daisy, but he wanted his career more. So much more that it wasn't an ambition thing anymore. He just didn't feel right to me. But he and Daisy fit. Surprisingly.
Daisy was ... I don't know how to put into words. Again, I don't know what to feel about her. She was kind and sweet. But she didn't grab me. I wasn't hooked and not that much interested in her. I only felt her attraction to Max. They sure had a chemistry. But the way she acted on it was weird. She had some surprising reactions. I hate the way she bottled up some emotions on the inside.
I wanted more from her.
This book felt lacking. I needed more. The characters weren't that well developed. They had the chemistry, but it wasn't eventful. Their interactions weren't amazing. By the end, everything felt rushed. And BAM the book was finished. It was rather quick with a typical HEA. Would have rated it 4 stars if the author would have pulled the conclusion out better. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a bad book but it wasn't that great either. The story was heart warming, funny, sad & some times frustrating and I guess I could say it was a good story. Overall it was a decent read. I'll be looking for more from this author.
