Great beginning...

... but then the whole thing fell apart into a boring story that could be called, "My house's Renovation- The journal". -_-
Look, for that there's "House Rules"... of which I'm fan.
I've read so many NR's books and lately it seems as if the author has fallen into this clinical writing style that annoys the hell out of me.
As for the romance, it is probably the weakest of them all.
A big meh for a big book.
How this was nominated for best romance _ by GR's _ is beyond me.
