Rating:  Summary: The cast is really too large. Review: I always love Ms London's way of writing, but really, this book is padded too many a characters. Everyone has issues, and everyone loves someone (except the psycho). There are three brothers and their father who love their respective girlfriends, and these men and women have to deal with their relationships with everyone else. Then, we have a mad rapist-wannabe sending underwear to one of our heroines.When it is time for the final Big Hug scene, I'm just too tired to keep score to care. It is as if four short stories are glued into one big romance. Sometimes many isn't better.
Rating:  Summary: Not worth it Review: I found this book to be boring. I agree people don't really talk like this. The dialogue was awful. Also I thought the relationship between Carley and Mitch bordering on incestuoes, he is after all her adopted brother. Jemma was annoying beyond belief, and for a 39 year old man Hogan was immature.
Rating:  Summary: I ENJOYED THIS BOOK Review: I have to admit I enjoyed this book -- Most of the time contemporary romances leave a lot to be desired in the premarital sex arena which I find boring. I thoroughly enjoy reading about how people work out their problems and am thankful they are not mine. That makes the stories pure entertainment. Hogan and Jemma can't be so much different than many that have problems and hang-ups -- but the story situation has to be left to the author. Sometimes they appeal to us and sometimes not. Read to enjoy and if they don't appeal go on to the next one. This is different and enjoyable.

Rating:  Summary: Not worth it Review: I love contemporary romanaces and I keep my eyes open for upcoming books. When I saw this one, I added it to my list of must buy books. Half-way through this book, I'm struggling to finish it. The dialog is just as bad as my spelling, terrible. People do not have conversations like this, even in make believe land. This could have been a great book, the story line is there, but it just doesn't make the cut.

Rating:  Summary: If I'd read the other reviews before I read this book, Review: I would not have bothered and I would have missed out on a thoroughly enjoyable story!
Rating:  Summary: Too many characters to care Review: I'm glad to see that others agree with my assessment of this book: too many characters! Ben is an idiot, Hogan is a self-absorbed ninny, Mitch is an amateur psychologist (sleeping with his patient), and Aaron is an immature Romeo. The women aren't much better, especially Jemma, who is so silly I wanted to throw the book out the window. Unfortunately, I was on a plane, so I had to wait for the airport trash can. Save your money.
Rating:  Summary: Falling Asleep at My House Review: I, too, have read Cait London before and loved her writing. In fact, I had a standing order for this book as soon as it came in. I found that for at least the first half of the book everyone talked in riddles like they were in a therapy session and were trying to say what was expected. I was bored to tears until Jemma and Hogan finally got something going, but then afterward everything went weird again. I cannot recommend this book. Try her earlier books, they were much better.
Rating:  Summary: Sleepless in Montana kept me up turning pages! Review: If I wasn't a fan of Cait London's already, this book would have made me a convert. Hogan Kodiak grew up hard -- rock hard. He's used his past as an excuse to put a barrier between himself and the rest of the world, even his family. There's only one person who seems able to chip through his defenses, Jemma Delany. She's determined to bring the Kodiak family back together -- and that includes Hogan. But in the end, she does more than bring Hogan back, she let's him into her heart and Hogan, despite his best intentions, finds that Jemma's become the center of his existence. Woven throughout a fantastic love story is a mystery. Who attacked Hogan's sister years ago, and why is he still stalking her? Cait London tells a page-turning tale of reconciliation -- the reconciliation of the past, the reconciliation of a family torn apart, and the reconciliation of two hearts meant to be together.
