Product Description

From Booklist

Matt Starr, CEO of a computer company, left Lily at the altar ten years ago, but now he's determined not to let her go. Lily suspects something is wrong when he misses the rehearsal dinner, but when he doesn't show up for their wedding, again, she flies into a rage. Matt's best friend, Marcus, believes that Matt is in trouble, but Lily is skeptical until she starts experiencing unexplained spells that seem to indicate that, indeed, Matt is in danger. It turns out that the necklace her best friend gave her is a family heirloom: a wishkeeper that gives Lily the "sight." They rescue Matt, who was kidnapped, with the help of Lily's visions, but another attempt at matrimony may be more than she can take even if she can see the future. A fun romance from a popular master of the genre. Patty Engelmann

The dialogue in this book easily has to be the worst I have ever read. It is the sort you hear on really bad sci fi programs like the old Star Trek, where everything is explained in a really long winded fashion to give you the background information on who these character are and what their situation, likes and dislikes. Endless comments about wine, his clothes, prime rib being Matt's favorite meal, and the hole in the big toe of his sneaker are just not romance worthy and bog down an already dull book.

His whole dumping her at the altar and second chance and engagement to Lily in the wilderness survival course, should have been shown, not told in a paragraph or two. Let alone dumping her at the altar again. Tedious.

This author breaks every rule of good story telling and is really starting to show her sell by date. I am heartily sick of pseudo paranormal stuff in supposedly mainstream contemporary fiction. Is this really the only way they can solve the messes they put their characters in?
And not especially interesting characters at that? Where is heat, sensuality?

I am also sick of books where the characters are rarely ever in the same room with each other, and only ever fighting most of the time even when they are.

Also, if they are already in love then where is the romance? This novel fails on every level a romance needs to function, and it is total fluff so can't be labelled women's fiction. I would give it minus stars if I could, it is so mediocre.

Fern Michaels has always written about strong women, but like all of us her women have one weak spot and that is their heart. Lily Harper isn't an exception although she is exceptional.

This is a great story of love, hurt, forgivness, and survival. I truly enjoyed ever aspect of this book, and I am glad to see that the woman is sometimes the survivalist and the man is the one lost in the wilderness. This is a very enjoyable novel, and a very quick read.
