Here we have a love triangle of a different sort. That of a mother, a son, and his soon to be fiance. Yet love is not really a word I would use in this particular scenario. Because mother, Pammie, despises her son Adam's fiance, Emily, and she will stop at nothing to keep the two apart.
I need to give Sandie Jones credit in creating a wicked villain in Pammie. She is the reason why I continued to flip the pages. Every word that came from her mouth made me seethe with fury. Initially my heart broke for Emily and I wanted her to succeed in outwitting Pammie but as the story progressed I started to find Emily just down right pathetic. Adam, of course, believes his mother is a saint and that Emily is the one causing the rift in the relationship.
There were just SOOOOO many opportunities for Emily to prove to Adam how malicious a woman his mother could be but she just chose not to in fear of upsetting him? Really? I would of kicked this mamma's boy to the curb long well before this. I really wanted to smack some sense into her.
All in all it was a decent read that I enjoyed and it was nice entertainment for a couple days. 3.5 stars!
