review 1: Actually, I'd say about 2.5 stars...I did enjoy the story, but there were aspects of it that bugged me. First, let's talk covers. On my Kindle version, the woman has reddish brown hair. In the book, she's described as a blonde. That's pretty minor, but still bugged me. Second, this guy was seriously not only super-skilled (a couple of times he got his clothing off & a magically appearing condom open & on with just one hand! Wow! This I gotta see....) but way over-the-top Boy Scout prepared. At one point, he's thinking about how he's resolved to stay away from Callie, because of their business relationship. They're at a skating rink, selling her candy. So...he's gonna be hands off, right? Wrong. He gets her to skate, then the he whisks her off into the nearby wo... moreods (still on their skates....WTF?) Where they proceed to get it on once again....will wonders never cease---he just HAPPENS to have that handy dandy condom right there. Really? Wow. I think, in general, the story could have been longer--parts felt rushed, or just glossed over altogether. They fell in love in a heartbeat, but then there was a lot of "she's not into me"..."he's not into me"...."oh, woe is me..." Miscommunications abound in a very short period of time! I really liked the candy store angle, which was sort of the saving grace for the story, in my mind. I think this could have been a great full-length novel, with the characters and their relationships more detailed & filled in. Will I try Bella Andre again? Most likely.
review 2: So nauseatingly sweet, I think I got a cavity.So our h - a ludite -has a candy store in a popular area. Candy store has high rent and well, thanks to her being a technophobe, not nearly enough sales to really do well. Our H is, coincidentally enough, a candy consultant. No - I was not aware that there was actually a need for such a specialized field. He's listened for years to his brother denigrating his business and is giving in and going to work for brother dear. Ok, I'm a little hazy on how going from an apparently successful business to being an employee of one's brother is a step up, but whatever.So the H/h meet at a wedding, sparks fly, they get it on in the walk-in refrigerator, go separate ways. Only, she's his next job. Thereafter, we're treated to hot sex, marketing ideas any idiot should know, more hot sex, a misunderstanding that was quite stupid, etc.There was one point where she wore a pink business suit to work, thinking it was "serious looking". Aside from the fact that some levels of Mary Kay marketing have that as a uniform of sorts... Hahahah. Right. You want to look serious, you wear black, navy, or grey. NOT pink. And the silk camisole was her concession to sex appeal and never supposed to see the light of day, only she took the suit coat off 'cuz she was hot, and the H found her like that. I was mulling over this and wondering if she'd left the cami off, would she still have taken the coat off? The mind boggles. (she apparently wasn't wearing a bra under it but even if she was...) less
