Review: Predictable, yes, but sometimes you just need an HEA

Every romance has its formula.  In regency tales, the hero is generally a second son, whose older brother heir is killed off, leaving him reluctantly or earnestly in charge of the family fotunes, and scrambling for a bride to secure the succession.  In more modern tales, the male is some alpha leader evrty female looks up to, muscular, hot, ever the consumate lover, caring, etc. etc.  In this story no one is killed off (unless you count baby Lily, or the near death of her mother early in the book), and the hero and heroine have carried a torch for each other for years.  What I found most off-puttying was their willingness to let that love slide for ten years.  More frustrating still was their extreme reluctance to re-unite when the opportuniy presented itself.  What good is an alpha male too chicken to risk his heart?  And just how self-sacrificing does the heroine have to be, becuase she's fertility challenged?  But just when you want to knock their heads together they come around right.I must admit, though, this seemed a lot longer than 124 pages! Be that a good or a bad thing, I leave to you to determine.
