First of all, the heroine was an idiot. The dude says a bajillion times that he does not love her, does not want to get married, does not want to have children. She knows why. They've talked about it. Yet she is shocked and crushed when she overhears him saying the same to someone else?? How is that logical? She just annoyed me with her doormat-ness and chasing so, so hard after a dude who could not have been more explicit that he did not want to be caught. He was just a douche, and an inconsistent one at that. One minute he is telling her she is fat and he can't stand her, the next he wants to bone her? Like, overnight? And then we are supposed to pretend that he has always been barely restraining his lust for her? At one point he mentions buying her an engagement ring, but when they have one of many Talks about how he doesn't want to get married, he is shocked that she wants that from him. Dude. She is a completely naive, sheltered, romantic-to-the-point-of-being-delusional VIRGIN. Everything she does and says is with giant hearts in her eyes. How did you not see this coming? It was just too quaint and cutesy and old fashioned for me. I think this is just not my genre. I love me a chubby heroine, and an insecure one too, but this was not for me. Blake Kemp's secretary Violet has loved him from afar for years. But when he finds out and tells her it would never work AND continues to snap about coffee, she decides to quit her job and work for Kemp's rival. Kemp realizes what he has lost once she leaves, but he is still vulnerable from a tragedy that rocked his love life when he was younger. I guess this might have been good if I had read the rest of the series. Many of the characters were not actually introduced or explained, and a lot of the plot seemed to be a mere continuation of things that happened in former books. It was definitely not a stand-alone. Neither character was particularly likeable. Violet seemed pretty weak, she kept running back to Blake even when he didn't treat her very well, and she simply acquiesced to his plan to marry her although she knew he didn't love her. Ugh. I have no respect for Blake... and nothing about him seemed original or interesting. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
