The Finish Line
Publisher Description
Their one night together was a complete letdown, but Hilliard Griffin was still obsessed with her. When the woman he knows only as 'Anna' stumbles into his office ill, he accepts his fate. The problem is that Anna doesn't believe that they belong together. After she repeatedly rejects him, he decides to wait at the finish line for her to realize what true love is.
Motivated by grief, Anna turned to Hill for a one night stand. Only to find out that one night with him would haunt her for the rest of her life. A chance encounter brings Hill back into her life. Ruthlessly, she rejects him. Yet, the more she pushes him away, the more he shows that he believes she is worth waiting for.
Patience and trust are the foundations of Hill and Anna's. Sometimes love happens at first time, and it is beautiful. But, like Rome, some the truly extraordinary things cannot be built in a day.
Customer Reviews
The Finish Line
I loved this book. What I loved is that, even though it started in the 'usual way', ie guy meets girl, takes her to bed, guy leaves etc, it took a curve ball in that the guy wanted her desperately, but the girl really didn't want to know him and she stuck to her guns. She didn't fall passionately in love with him, or give herself up for him because she was expecting his child. But he stuck with her, even though she confessed she didn't think she could ever love him. I won't give away the ending, but suffice to say the ending made it all the sweeter. I shall be reading more of this author.
Awful
Contrived and cliched. Rambling and rushed.
Terrible storyline and 2-dimensional characters you feel no affinity with or empathy towards.
