I don't start off liking this hero. In fact, he's normally the guy/hero I don't go for. He's too everything: too good-looking (thinks he's as handsome as Brad Pitt), too cocky (well, I might have liked that), and too judgmental (this I didn't like).When our hero Reece first sees Teddy, he recognizes her as his fated mate, one he's been waiting for but didn't think he'd ever find. He follows his nose to Teddy, only to be stopped in his tracks by her appearance. Teddy is short, curvy and round, a little plump pixie, and our hero doesn't do short and chubby, not Mr. Hot Dude's type at all.Teddy sees the disdain and shock on his face, and it hurts her feelings. She thought she was comfortable with her body, having come to love it and all the curves. She's had lovers who have enjoyed the bounty of it too, but seeing this look on her mate's face brings back some old insecurities.While I grew to like Reece, as he soon realizes how sexy a little extra can be, I really liked Teddy from the start. I liked her spunk, her attitude, her figure, and even her fears, those nagging doubts that seem like rude guests you've sent packing, only to come back sometimes uninvited, no matter how many times you tell them to get lost. Teddy is so loveable, and I found myself saying, You tell him, Teddy! Show him what he's missing.Don't give up on Reece; he gets better. He sees the error of his ways and is soon doing the pursuing, wolf-style. I even found myself cheering for him, wanting him to make it right and to show Teddy how much he wants her, desires her, and loves her, just the way she is.
