I received this a copy of this book from an author giveaway.In Love with her Best Friend's Older BrotherIt was a slow start. I know many plus size heroines feel bad about themselves and are down on themselves but the excuses she came up with why he would want her felt appalling and her accepting that it was ok for him to "use her" was just unacceptable. They jumped right into the sex despite the fact that neither of them seemed ready. She's supposed to be seeing the doctor at the hospital and he wants to marry her not just a quick fling. The emotional depth in the beginning was shallow; it wasn't until about midway thru the book that the story started to deepen into a relationship. The romantic gesture he planned was beautiful, up until she ruined the moment. Even better was when his mom invites his rival to his coming home party and everyone knows it but her...awkward. It took a while but they finally got it together at the end and acted like adults instead of hormonal teenagers.Would you recommend to a friend: I just couldn't get into this book, so I wouldn't recommend this one. I would recommend Hazel Gower as an author and would definitely buy more of her books, though, especially her Bears Series. The story line was short and sweet and it moved very quickly. Basically Caleb fell in love with his sister's best friend through letters that Bianca wrote him while he was off at war. But whenever Caleb would come home on R&R Bianca would go MIA for the whole duration of his stay until he went back. This time Bianca can't run and Caleb and his sister put into play to make sure he can get her this time and she can't run. Caleb has been in love with Bianca for about 15 years and now its time he gets her before he loses her for good.
3.5 Stars. A totally enjoyable, short, sexy, contemporary romance with HEA.
