Three stars means I liked it.  This is definitely better than the usual Harlequin type romance.  It's not the over the top billionaire drivel that gluts the market.What I liked:  The author has a better than average writing style.  What some complained about being too dragged out, I thought was a slow and more thorough development of the characters than the usual.  While Kelly and Dean got married in a rush, it took a long time before Dean was able to discard his preconceived notions about Kelly and recognize his developing feelings toward her.  The author did a good job of portraying him as a man very repressed because of his childhood experiences.What I didn't like so much:  The side story of Troy and Felicia added to the whole, in a way.  But at times it felt the change between the characters was too abrupt, in a way.  I'm not sure that I'd have wanted the author to leave that entirely out, but it negatively impacted the "flow" at times, I guess.Yes, it's as formulaic as any novel of the genre, but I felt the author had a good style and the characters felt a little more real than others.  I probably won't read it again, but I'd read something else by this author.
