Eh. This is a great premise. Girl breaks boy's heart when she dumps him for a jock type from the same country club set in which she grew up. At their 10th Stanford reunion she is a newly divorced Palo Alto mortgage broker regretting her long ago decision and he is a Napa Valley celebrity chef still carrying a torch and a whole lot of anger. The problem is that Andre did not develop the characters at all. They say they are smart (and since they graduated from Stanford one assumes they are not blithering idiots) but their intelligence is well hidden here. Neither of them has any sense of humor at all. The female character abandons the business she owns with no word to staff or clients to shack up with hot chef, and then puts her house on the market to move in with him after 4 days, which is...I have no words so I will just say VERY problematic. (Late in the book she acknowledges that the abandonment of her business was bad, and rationalizes the house thing, but still!) They are pretty, and professionally successful, but not very appealing. That makes the sex, and there is a lot of it, pretty bland. The secondary characters are really bad. The ice-gold society bitch and her whipped husband, the loud, ballsy prosecutor (who gives a blow job in exchange for information and that is supposed to be sexy?!?!) Cardboard. I hope someone else steals the premise and writes a good, yummy, sexy book. ( )
