They are all wrong for each other…

Jessica Harrington knows what she doesn't want for Christmas—to be roped in to her parents' matchmaking scheme. Ever since she and Weston Chamberlain were children, their fathers hoped they would marry and merge their families' fortunes. One problem—Jessica and Wes can't tolerate one another!

But love can make everything right

Wes, who arrives in Aspen for the families' shared ski vacation, has grown up…in delicious ways. And beautiful Jessica is nothing like the awkward teen Wes remembers. The breathtaking setting fuels a sizzling attraction that surprises them both. But living on opposite coasts is only one of many obstacles ahead. Can romance last once they've left their winter wonderland behind?

    3.0 out of 5 stars Just average....
    Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2007
    I have been a big fan of Linda Hudson-Smith in the past, but "Forsaking All Others" left me slightly disappointed.

    The story of Jessica and Weston has a great framework; their fathers have been best friends for years and have always hope that Jessica and Weston would develop a romantic interest in each other and "officially" bond their families through matrimony. Jessica and "Wes" have no interest in falling prey to their fathers' wishes.

    The main problem I had with this book was that the characters and dramatic impact of the book were underdeveloped. The writing is largely descriptive and overly so at times when Hudson-Smith describes the room décor and the characters clothing in excruciating detail. That type of detail is lacking in the dialogue of the book. The story was so idealist as to lack intrigue and realism.

    Built on a good premise, the book lacked something in execution. For a better representation of Hudson-Smith, I'd recommend "Sweeter than Temptation", "Tomorrow May Never Come", or "Ladies in Waiting".

    1.0 out of 5 stars Would not buy this book again. Don't waste your $$$
    Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2008
    Verified Purchase
    After reading tons of books by Beverly Jenkins, Brenda Jackson and Francis Ray, I found this book to be an utterly disappointing, unrealistic waste of my time. I only finished reading it because I *never* put a book away until I've finished it.
    The characters were completely unrealistic, their relationship was rushed and illogical. The story was underdeveloped and repetitive. I found the dialogue and descriptions laughable.
    I'm sorry. I won't purchase anything else by this author unless I read RAVE reviews first.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Forsaking All Others
    Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2007
    When Jessica and Wes unite in Aspen with their families for the holidays, neither knew they would actually start to have feelings for each other since both families had always been trying to play matchmakers and put them together.

    Keeping the family away, the couple decide they will explore their feelings with the usual happy ending.

    Being a fan of Linda Hudson-Smith and especially her earlier romances, I felt like I was reading for young adults because of the ages (25-27) of Jessica and Wes; although, their romantic encounters were more adult.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Overly Dramatic and Weak Plot
    Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2007
    I was highly disappointed with this read. I was expecting so much more. I think the author had a great idea but the entire story line was lacking and highly underdeveloped Also, the characters were too perfect--almost unrelatable. I enjoy characters that I can relate too...and these people were just too perfect. On a scale of 1-10, this book rated a 4.

    In the past, I have enjoyed Mrs. Smith's other works but this one was lackluster for me.

    Save your money...and buy another read!
