Review
Becca is fairly timid and never feels like she is good enough. Everyone is always putting her down. Her own mother is always telling her she will never be a size 2 and she should stop eating. She just wants to be loved for who she is not who they all want her to be.
At her new job, in walks Tyler; he is the bosses son, he runs the company with his dad and two brothers. Now, Tyler has his own issues and those issues cause him to want to keep his budding relationship with Becca a secret, and not because of what she thinks. She thinks it’s because she is not perfect and that she is no way good enough for him, but they have to learn to deal with these things together, and its extremely hard to get either of them to open up. So, while she thinks she is not good enough, and that she is fat and frumpy, Tyler thinks she is wonderful and beautiful and not at all frumpy or fat ….shes a real woman, and he is falling for her big time.
Tyler’s father is just one big complete douche bag, and you will see that as the story goes on … I don’t want to give too much away by elaborating. Ashlynn, is the queen of “great big fat “c” word, to end all “c “ words, and someone really needs to stick a fork in her eye. Because of her, for the briefest of moment, I hated Tyler, and I believe I was meant too. So when I was back in his fan base I could love him that much harder. She is a witch but it helps you appreciate Tyler and Becca all that much more. Tyler and Becca have many ups and down, and some heartaches in between. Their story is told wonderfully and the ending, I really really like how the author ended this first book. I am so glad Becca did what she did, and Tyler did what he did …. I can honestly say it gave me a happy pang in my heart for them. The Grammar and spelling are OK, there are spelling errors but nothing I couldn’t get past…
I would definitely read the next two in this trilogy and would recommend it to others.
