Review: Funny and over-the-top with a few inconsistencies

This was a light, fun read. Some of the situations were over-the-top and I found the fact that Casey was supposedly a street kid with a record growing up who is no stranger to fighting kind of contrary to her supposedly "shy," virginal nature. Also, we have a two-year-old in this book that eats jawbreakers, chews gum, is taught to crack open and eat shelled peanuts and rides in a car without a carseat, apparently. I had to wonder if Rita Herron has ever had children, and if so, just how long ago that was. LOL. But whatever. I went with it. Also, Gabe kept getting calls on his cell that required him to "answer" it but yet entailed him calling the caller back. I was wondering if this story was originally written with Gabe carrying a beeper and later rewritten to update the content. I don't know. Weird little details like that kept pulling me out of the story.  Small inconsistencies, but jarring for me.  Like where limbs were placed and how certain physical actions were carried through in certain situations.  Thinking of that scene where Casey and Gabe are under Brick's BMW.  What in the world?  And in another instance, Gabe is wearing nothing but borrowed sweatpants in one scene but pulls out his ringing phone (which he has to answer, yet call the person back, as above) AND a pad and pen?!  If he had to walk over to his discarded, wet pants, please tell me.  LOL.Overall, it may be a typical romance plot, but it was funny, suspenseful, and a cute love story. Good for a free download on my kindle, for sure.
