10 Meant for Love – Marie Force – 4*

This would have been a five star review except for the drama forced into it the story. I had been waiting for Jenny's story since she had been introduced and looked forward to it. I loved how the couple meets for the first time with her throwing tomatoes at him for waking her. Some people might not like the fact they don't introduce themselves officially (last names) until later in the book but it makes sense with both of their histories why they wouldn't want to. She finds out his story when she is on a date with another guy. She over hears Alex firing the company manager for talking about how "crazy" his mom is. She has dementia not crazy and it sets him off. Jenny understands and fills Alex in on her tragic loss on 9/11 and they seem to roll along nicely. It isn't until her parents show up and they do a sit down meal with her parents and his mom where it falls apart. His mom goes off on her (dementia) and he breaks up with her. It just seemed very contrived and didn't make any sense. The mom had had other episodes with Jenny around. She had talked about her family experience with dementia so why is it now an issue. Alex ends up groveling to get her back but it just seemed like the whole argument was forced.
