I downloaded this book as my freebie last month on Amazon Prime, and am so glad I did. I liked it so much, that I've since purchased all of Lisa Crane's publications, and have enjoyed each of them immensely. What a great way to find wonderful new authors; -thanks Amazon!! That being said, let's get down to 'Not His Type'. The heroine (Brooke) is a young woman who's had a really tough life. She's barely squeaking by working two jobs and going to school. She sells off some of her land to pay off the tax debt that she inherited with it, and as the buyer builds his house next to hers, there's an accident that leaves her hospitalized, costing her both her rotten jobs. Travis, her new neighbor, feels responsible and tries to help her out. He's Mr. Wonderful; rich, handsome, and accustomed to having any woman he wants. His type are model-material, but he finds himself attracted to Brooke, who wears baggy, old, worn, thrift-store clothes and who doesn't bother with her hair and makeup, cause she's been told her whole life that she's no beauty queen. She actually is a diamond in the rough, but Travis is confused by her, considering her more of a little sister than anything. I liked how he ended up examining what he'd always thought was his 'type', which just so happens to be what the media has been shoving down our throats as the 'perfect woman' for years now. Toss in some meddling but well-meaning friends (who are well-written, entertaining characters in their own right...) and you have a great read. Can't wait for the next book in this series.
