This Time for Keeps by Jenna Mills

Luziadovalongo | 1 other review | Jul 14, 2022 | Yuck. This one was even worse. Waaaay too much angst, plus a weird time sequence hopping back and forth between three different times. Clearly setting up for sequels - Noah, whatever's up with Tyler, Lance and Julia, etc etc - but I don't want to read them, very oddly for me. I love romance series - sibs or a town or whatever - but I have no interest in these people. Reminds me of Funky Winkerbean - the comic strip turned soap opera. There's not one happy, stable person in this cast. Ugh. Broken pieces get boring very fast, and "you walked away, no you did". The occasional misused word didn't help either - she stood 'insidiously' still. I was crying through most of it, but not, as usual, because I liked and sympathized with the characters. Just a soap opera heap of angst, with a too-easy happy ending tacked on. I repeat, yuck.½

jjmcgaffey | 1 other review | Nov 9, 2010 | Good story, but poor writing - I kept being distracted from the story by an awkward word usage, especially in the descriptions. Dialog wasn't too bad. There was also way too much brooding on both sides - she's afraid to let a man back into her life, he's afraid to let anyone into his life. And they spend a great deal of time thinking about past wrongs and rights and history - while the story sweeps by them and they have to catch up. Dunno, just awkward. Pity, because it sets up this new set of stories. It's not unreadable, but definitely not a favorite.½
