2000-10-22 first book good, second book awful!

i did like the story of shelby and alan, the contrast between them worked wonderfully. but the second story was so dismal, i'm surprised that the same author wrote it! the mcgregor's were represented in such a stereotypical way that gave them no depth or emotion but made them act like puppets. the actual love story was a little far fetched and just seemed too unrealistic to work. i KNOW it's a love story and meant to take you into dream land but i actually ended up not liking either of the main characters. i absolutely loved her original mcgregors stories. serena and caine really took me into their stories, you felt you were right there with them, laughing together and crying togther. but i just did not care what happened to grant or gennie, the story just seemed superficial and a half hearted attempt by my favourite author. sorry!
