As the series title suggests, the hero and heroine, Zach and
Kiera are complete opposites. If they
were both registered on Match.com there is not the slightest possibility they
would have found each other. However, an
accident at the Convention Center brings these two face to face. Zach is one of
the EMTs called to the scene, and Kiera is one of the convention goers trapped
beneath debris, well actually the skirt of her costume is trapped. He runs to her rescue - and that my friends
is the beginning of one hot romance.
While there’s not a great deal of angst in this book, and I
for one am a romance reader who says “Hallelujah”, because, personally I don’t
enjoy too much torture in my romances, there is a push/pull in the plot and in
the sex, and that’s what keeps you turning the pages.
While Zach is outgoing, Kiera lives her life mostly alone
and on-line. Zach’s backstory is not a pretty one and is the contributing
factor to his overwhelming feeling that he has to fix everything and run
everyone’s life. Kiera is a smart
talented woman who doesn’t put herself out there and doesn’t think much of
herself so she retreats to the on-line world where you can be whatever and
whoever you want. Zach’s outgoingness
versus Kiera’s shyness is how the author cleverly created the tension in the
relationship between the two main characters. He tends to be domineering in all
his relationships, and maybe that’s a defense mechanism against what he’s been
through, and she is a ‘hider’ living in a world on-line.
As a reader, Kiera’s character really worked for me. I
enjoyed her dialogue and I appreciated her changes throughout the book. I felt
she was a perfect metaphor for today’s society. After all, don’t many of us kind of live
on-line creating what we want the world to see – real or not? So, there you have it. Two people who need to peel back the layers,
strip away the demons and find each other.
And find each other they do.
Do you think two opposites can last in a relationship? Or is it better to find someone who is
similar to you?

That's a good question. I think that two opposites can last in a relationship only if they both possess the patience and love to respect and accept each other's points of view AND if they are truly willing to compromise.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Connie. While the differences can add spice to a relationship, there has to be mutual respect and compromise for it to last.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking as someone who did marry an 'opposite', it does take compromise. Not always my favorite position:)
ReplyDeleteIt can be done. My husband is the opposite of me yet we managed to make 35 yrs. It does take patience and compromise.
ReplyDeleteI think differences are a good thing. Who would want to be married to a carbon copy of themselves? That being said, polar opposites probably wouldn't work too well. There needs to be some common ground for them to share and enjoy.
