So the cure for anorexia and clinical depression is to find yourself a good man. Who knew? Although I guess if the man is as perfect (and unrealistic) as the one in this book, it could happen. Despite the fact that he was supposedly from a broken home, the hero in this book is kind, gentle, giving, patient, loving, and of course handsome (in fact, he looks nothing like the guy on the book cover, but that's not the author's fault). He has no rough edges or flaws. The coup de gras - his show more ex-girlfriend broke up with him because he spent too much time with a terminally ill child!

I'm all in favor of multi-cultural romances, but this one was just too silly (and for anorexia and depression sufferers, just a bit offensive) to take seriously. show less

Uhhhh, yeahno. You know what stereotype I could really live without? The money-hungry "spicy" Latina. Maybe this douche-nozzle's girlfriend left him because he looked down on her. And maybe because he wanted a "caliente" sex life without having to deal with an actual Hispanic woman.

Also, this guy's internal monologue is well-nigh unendurable. If there's going to be so much navel-gazing, it should be written in first-person, not third. I give up at 5%.

Loved it. Simple, feel good love story. A regular joe gets the surprise of his life due to an online pen pal. At a crossroads and looking to get her acting career back on track after a high profile breakup, Lauren Short consults on line pen pal Patrick Esposito. A handyman Patrick cannot believe his luck. He's had a crush on Lauren forever. Although a predictable story with unbelievable scenarios, I found it to be entertaining fun. Would definitely recommend. Received an ARC for an honest show more review. show less

its flirty and fun- comfortably predictable but sexy all the same. a fun, easy read.
