Our feature today is:

Today is all about the review of the below listed book as chosen by Ann from Romancing the Readers. Be sure to click on the link below to read all about her thoughts on what she picked. And don't forget to enter the GIVEAWAY!

Zoe Hart owns the coffee shop in one of the hottest upscale resorts in Florida, run by her childhood best friend, Dylan Jackson. Even though Dylan is a workaholic, he still finds time to enjoy the beautiful women who pass through his hotel—all of them except Zoe. She has been in love with Dylan for years without him noticing. But with her thirtieth birthday fast approaching, she realizes she can't keep pining away for a man who doesn't show the merest sign of romantic interest in her.

When Zoe launches her plan to shed her tomboy image in Dylan's eyes, she's thrilled once he starts to notice her in a whole new way. But she’ll have to face the risk that seducing her best friend might come with lasting changes to their longtime friendship...

I'd like to start off by saying that I like Ms Landon's style of writing.
It's engaging and easy to read - more conversational and girl-friendish if that makes sense.

I really liked Zoe and her friend Dana.

What I could not stomach, and that's putting it mildy, was Dylan. What a douche canoe! Perhaps some of his behavior was reality but still! Again - HATED HIM!

What really cliched it for me was when he wanted to physically harm Dana. It sounded like a true threat and a not joke. And the other side plot was just ridiculous!

Again, I really liked Zoe and the author's writing so despite loathing Dylan, I would give Ms Landon another chance.
