Review: Sorry, Not a Fan

-- SPOILER ALERT!! --Not only is the hero (Nathan) such a huge douche, it's hard to believe that any woman would put up with his crap, especially with what he pulls at the end. For one thing the guy has serious trust issues. His cop-buddy pecks his girlfriend (Stella) on the cheek and he instantly accuses them of screwing each other. After a night of lots of sex, Stella's ex shows up uninvited after having been out of her life for a year, and right off the bat Nathan believes she asked him to come over; that's she'll drop him and go back to her ex. And this guy's a cop? Talk about a guy who's jealous, stupid, and a total ass. I understand he has a lot of problems, but this is just beyond ridiculous. If anything, he came across more of a whiny chick than a real man. As for the heroine, Stella, I wasn't a huge fan of hers as she just rubbed me the wrong way. What really irritated the crap out of me was (1)  Stella falls in love with Nathan instantly, and (2) Stella, who is unable to have a baby (so she's been told) because of the chemo and radiation therapy she's had to beat breast cancer, believes that since she can't get pregnant it's okay for the two of them to go at like rabbits and not use any condoms. But then guess what? Tah-dah! She's pregnant! Give me a break! Cue eye-rolls - many of them. You can't tell me that you didn't see that one coming a mile away? If that wasn't bad enough, Stella also gets shot putting her and the baby at risk, but of course they survive. Hey, I'm all for a HEA but this is just a little too much. All of this made their relationship come across as unrealistic. I just didn't think they came across as a couple who are supposedly so in love with each other.
