Review: Too angsty and cliche
Rating: 2 out of 5

So many cliche moments in this story, they literally had me rolling my eyes at times. I don't know that a story could ever be so far-fetched from reality as this one. Lilly had maybe three scenes where she behaved as a physical therapist would act with her client, and then she was shedding her clothes and hopping into his bed. The story was supposed to be about how Lilly helped Simon recover after his accident. The reader hardly sees any therapy occur, yet towards the end we see Simon is recovered. It's a miracle! It was also a miracle how lightening fast love developed between the characters without much effort being put into the relationship.Here's a list of the multiple cliche moments I noted in this book . . .Uber rich alpha male--checkPossessive male hero--checkDense, saccharine sweet heroine who is supposed to be a professional but is so naive it's pathetic--checkI can't tell him/her how much I love him/her so I will use trickery to have him/her sexually instead--checkBig misunderstanding between hero/heroine about something easily explained if either one had used an ounce of common sense and just asked "hey what did you mean by this"--checkHero trying to get heroine pregnant so she "will have no choice but to marry him"--checkMarriage after knowing each other maybe a month--check****Spoiler alert****A few things that bothered me about this story--the scene where Simon was poking pin holes in the condoms in an effort to try to get Lilly pregnant without her knowledge. I was also bothered by the scene where Simon intentionally got Lilly drunk and then had sex with her when she was all but passed out. Simon regained his ability to walk yet kept it secret so Lilly wouldn't leave him. Simon was a secretive possessive man who was written kind of smarmy. He wasn't my idea of a romance hero. Lilly was a passive dolt who forgave Simon for every wrongdoing and didn't seem to care she was played for a fool.I also thought how far-fetched that Lilly worked for free for all her clients but the rich ones, and then she donated the money she charged them to help those less fortunate. I'm sorry, but it takes a lot of expensive education to become a physical therapist. Even if Lilly "had more money than one person her age could use" I highly doubt a real peson, and yes I know this is fantasy based, would work for every single client for free.I will be deleting this off my Kindle, and will not be reading any other books in this series.
