This book truly is too horrible for words. I read this book weeks ago but I had to take a step back after reading it to wrap my head around what the crap I even read in this book. I finished this book late Christmas Day but it made me so mad I just couldn't disappoint the Lord going off on this book.But today isn't Christmas Day anymore and I'm human so I will be forgive.I read a LOT of bad books. 90% of romance novels today ARE bad but this book, Harvard Hottie is on the Golden List for Bad Books of all time. With a doubt. Bar None on the list very high up.It started off pretty good. The hero and heroine meet while freshman at Harvard. He's the golden boy and she's a frizzy haired, sassy girl. They get in debates in class and she's hating him for getting the best of her while he's secretly turned on. I guess that frizzy hair and sassy words knows how to turn him on and up. BUT the heroine doesn't believe a rich, good looking guy like him is series about her so she bolts after their party kiss and that's the end of it.Fast forward 15 years.The heroine is a software engineer/computer programer and her company is bought by the hero's. Who's now in a wheelchair following a rock climbing accident in his 20s. He's a quadriplegic, hunched over, his hands curl over and barely move and he has a gut. But he's still the same guy and now she's attracted to him.I will say the author gives plenty of sex that's not sleaze. As a quadriplegic, the hero needs medical assistance a la Viagra to perform but with this he's learned the fine art of oral sex so he gives a lot to the hero. And requests it. As if "can I eat you out" in a cute, little boy bashful voice with a shy smile is charming and sexy.Now their relationship progressing is very one-sided. The heroine is just blah but the hero isn't so bad. But the heroine slowly chips away at what starts off good. THEN she just kills it.Now for the horrible.If you're "sensitive" insert eye roll. Hey people, ebooks are ripping us off so grow up, chill and read spoilers and appreciate the saving of money if it's horrible. Now IF you are truly sensitive to the TOP TWO social issues then READ this spoiler. Top 2? Abortion and gay rights.This book includes on in a horrible way that's so amazingly ridiculous it's hard to fathom.Read on.**SPOILERS**The heroine despite being so smart assumes because he needs Viagra and doesn't ejaculate he can't get her pregnant. Well he DOES and she's mad at him for soon firing the majority of her company (DESPITE the fact that it's needed because the employees aren't really doing anything!) but she's mad so she sets up an abortion appointment. Yes you read that right. The heroine wants to abort her baby because she's MAD at the hero because he's so horrible she doesn't want to share a baby with a guy who would FIRE people.He's not a murderer, rapist, degenerate, pedophile, etc. Nope. He's just going to fire people. His father dies and he calls her crying and needs her and the heroine goes "okay so I can go to my baby's grandfather's funeral in the morning and have the abortion in the afternoon"she actually PLANS it out so she can multitask and still get the abortion done. Now I'm pro women's right to choose but her reasoning for the abortion was just NUTS.**END SPOILER**Overall: did you read the whole review? Pass this one on by like it's some cataclysmic explosion and you're running for your life from the blast.Grade -F because an F is just too high.
