My review is based on "Wait for Me".
William Montgomery is worried about his youngest son. Lucas injured his knee two years ago which ended his professional football career. He has since become a recluse, venturing out of his mountain home only once per month to come into the family business offices in the city. William devises a plan where he calls his executive assistant, Emma Taylor, and asks her to bring some paperwork to his vacation home. William gives her his son's address knowing Emma has a crush on Lucas. Emma hurries to the mountain home, but is injured when a snowstorm pops up and she drives off the road hitting a tree upon arrival. Lucas can't figure out why his father's assistant is at his house. He helps Emma into the house and learns that his father gave her the wrong address. Now Lucas is stuck with Emma at his house during a snowstorm when all he wants is to be alone.
I thought this would be a nice light contemporary romance to listen to while on my morning walk. Well, Lucas and Emma bickered continually which got old fast. Williams manipulation was obvious, but neither of them figured it out. And I really didn't like the characters, especially Lucas who sat around feeling sorry for himself. The worst part of the experience for me was the narrator. His voice had an odd stilted quality that drove me crazy. I switched to the ebook to finish the story, but I still had that voice in my head. This book just didn't work for me. My rating: 1.5 Stars.
