I loved the beginning of the book, but as I continued reading I liked it less and less. I won't discuss the grammatical issues as several reviewers have already done that. I liked the plot of the novel and the fact that the hero saw through her outer appearance to the woman inside. Melissa had low self esteem because of how she has been treated all her life by friends and her mother because of her weight. Caleb the hero did help her to work on these issues and to see herself as worthy of love. However,then she became too dependent on him and allowed him to ride roughshod over her in their relationship. He told her that he wanted her off birth control; no discussion about her readiness to have a child took place. She was just told he wanted to breed her so to stop taking her birth control pills. She was also made to get a tattoo without being asked if she wanted one. She was wearing some kind of collar that showed that she belonged to him  also which I was a big turn off to read about. I felt as if she was losing herself in this relationship. Although the story had promise I was really turned off by the hero's domineering personality.
