It was a pleasure to read a romance (of any subgenre) in which the hero is a nice guy, not a billionaire or CEO, and not overbearing and  boorish. This is not a typical plot of boy meets girl, boy and girl detest each other until boy manhandles girl a few times, then boy and girl get married. The heroine is likeable, too. The reader does not have to endure contrived misunderstandings because characters are too recalcitrant to actually talk to each other. There were some typos and incorrect use of words, but not enough to ruin the story. I would have given this book four stars, except that the whole situation with Phoenix felt contrived, like the author tossed in a crazy and violent ex-boyfriend because there wasn't sufficient tension in the plot.
