Our Rating: It’s no secret that I generally love Lori Foster’s books, but I didn’t realize just how addicted I am until I did a search on my Kindle and found a whopping 40 of her books. So I figured I’d go back to the beginning, read some of the books I loved and the few I’ve managed to miss, and get to writing some reviews… Judging Covers: This reissue cover is sooooo much better than the old one, so you can just imagine what the old one looked like.

So I figured I’d go back to the beginning, read some of the books I loved and the few I’ve managed to miss, and get to writing some reviews… Judging Covers: This reissue cover is sooooo much better than the old one, so you can just imagine what the old one looked like. Granted, the old one is from like 2003, and design has advanced quite a bit since then, but as dull/simple as it is, the new cover better reflects the story. The Verdict: When Ethan wakes up next to the little sister of his former best friend, he’s almost positive nothing happened between them. Unfortunately, he can’t remember much from the previous night, has a hangover from hell, and can’t seem to get a straight answer from Rosie. Still reeling from the shock and humiliation of not only being left at the alter but also finding out his best friend (Rosie’s brother) stole away with his bride-to-be, Ethan’s not sure a serious relationship is anywhere in his future. But Rosie has other plans. Rosie’s been in love with Ethan for as long as she can remember, but she held her tongue as he got ready to walk down the aisle with someone else. Needless to say, she was relieved when the marriage didn’t happen, though she never would have wished that kind of drama and heartbreak on Ethan. Their friendship is as strong as ever, but now that the way is open for her, she’s determined to make him see her as more than just one of the guys. Rosie is an interesting character, all heart on her sleeve and impulsive actions. She’s completely comfortable around Ethan, even as she’s awkward as hell, and she’s got enough spunk to go after what she wants. Ethan’s still torn up about how he was basically humiliated in front of the entire town, and he thinks the best way he can show everyone he’s past it all is to hop from bed to bed. But Rosie’s done waiting on him to get his act together, and when she makes her feelings known, Ethan’s thrown for a loop. This is a pretty short story, not big on deep character development or drawn-out plot, simply because it isn’t long enough to fit all that in. In fact, it kind of felt like some of the story was wasted in details to set up the next book in the series. Nevertheless, it’s a cute, quick, fun read, and Rosie’s exuberant personality is definitely entertaining. Ethan, to his credit, doesn’t do the whole broody, I-can’t-see-what’s-obvious-to-everyone-else thing; he’s actually quick to realize that he does have feelings for Rosie, and things heat up (and get a bit funny as well) when he finally gives in to his heart. Trapped isn’t long enough to make much of an impression, so I can’t say it’s one of Foster’s better books, but it’s still a fun little read and worth the time if you — like me — love seeing how all Foster’s books tie in together.

Cute, quick read

Cute story I liked all the friendships but Ethan was a bit of a whiner and Rosie was a quite bossy. Sure took Ethan a long enough to realize he was in love with Rosie.

The title of this should be called "A string of impulse decisions" it wasn't bad. just absolutely no substance. like a PB&J with little to no jelly. The title of this should be called "A string of impulse decisions" it wasn't bad. just absolutely no substance. like a PB&J with little to no jelly.

This story was bundled with another that is full of people with PTSD, but I went ahead and read this anyway. It's an ok enough story. Felt formulaic to me.

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. This story, about Ethan and Rosie was my least favorite of the anthology I read it in. There's hardly even a rescue here and Rosie irritated the hell out of me. It's one thing to be straightforward about liking a guy, but its another to be so pushy about it. And how long has she been obsessing about this guy anyway? Its a wonder she didn't claim him right after his first fiance failed to show up for the wedding.

The story itself was alright but not very inspired. I didn't like Rosie, who came across as immature, and I hated the overall 'men are strong and do important work and women belong in the kitchen' feel of this novella.

The only thing that could have made this book better would be if it was longer. I don't know how I feel about Rosie. She is very pushy but I guess if you know what you want then you should go for it. I really felt for Ethan and his fear of ceremonies. Now on to read about Riley. The only thing that could have made this book better would be if it was longer. I don't know how I feel about Rosie.

It was good for it being a short story, I just wish there would've been more because it could've used a bit more details. It was good for it being a short story, I just wish there would've been more because it could've used a bit more details.

I want my 2 hours back! Characters were completely un-likable, especially this pushy broad Rosie. I finished it just to be certain I never pick it up again.
