3-1/2 stars

I enjoyed this book. I've read some of the other reviews and I think even the negative reviews had some valid points. But on the whole it was winner for me. This author is one who I've found doesn't have one set writing style with one sort of hero, heroine and plot so you never know what you're going to get. I've loved some and dnfed others.

So on to this one. I did enjoy that the hero could love a chubby woman and I appreciated that the author didn't change her size or style during the course of the book. I do believe though that it was odd that the hero who had always liked slim women suddenly liked curves. My husband assures me that men's tastes stay pretty much the same all the time.

There was just something I liked about the whole thing. I liked that he was so upset about his relationship with his son and how he was realistically afraid to find out if he was really the father. I liked that he defended the heroine against the slurs of both his son and his exwife. I liked how he wouldn't fire the heroine even though she was incompetent.

The heroine was okay. She was sweet and charming and all mixed up about her life choices. I didn't find her too modern as some other reviewers did. The sex scenes were certainly different. I didn't find them too out there. But they were certainly different enough to be memorable.
