Customer Reviews

Very enjoyable!

I had been very much so looking forward to reading this book after reading "Blue Moon", unaware that it was the third in a series, already having started them out of order, I decided to go ahead and read "Just Once" before "Daydreamer". I did read through the 3 other reviews here of this book and must say I'm a bit disapointed in them personally.I throughly enjoyed this book, Jemma was very enduring with her strong will, sensibility, and determination, it was quite interesting to see her pair up with Hunter, who, although the book doesn't describe him as such, came across to me as a rather shy man, quite taken with this girls vocal attitude and blunt requests.As for a predicable plot? Well we all know that when we sit down to a romance novel how the end is going to be... that's the point of reading a romance novel, there are no broken hearts and unfulfilled dreams in the end. It's nice to excape to such a land every once in a while. It's how they come over their conflicts and the adventure inbetween that makes the story.I myself loved this book and was very happy to visit Noah once again, and I'm almost happy that I had read "Blue Moon" before hand... knowing that he does have a happy ending despite his scarring accident in the end of "Just Once".

Wonderful story and memorable characters

This was a great love story. I have read many of Jill Marie Landis' books, and this is just another example of why I love her books. The hero is a strong, lonely man who needs the love of a good woman in order to trust again. The heroine is determined to do just that. It's a beautiful love story, it made me cry because there were some parts that were so bittersweet. The characters will stay with you long after you close the book.
