Review: Not Quite A Winner
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 02 5, 2014
I like books with sports heroes, but this story's hero came across  more like a businessman than a wealthy rugby player as there was very little about rugby in the story. The heroine was an aroma therapist and masseuse struggling to pay her bills and work at home. The house is falling down around her. There is a mystery. The heroine is caring for her dead sister's 9 year old child (father unknown) and the hero is accused of being the father  by the paparazzi. The hero and heroine work together trying to solve the mystery while the heroine's business is vandalized and she fears for her life. Of course she has to move in with the hero. The mystery is easily solved by the reader ahead of the end of the story. The romance and the chemistry between the hero and heroine is flat. Even the sex scenes, are not very interesting and I found myself skipping ahead. I just didn't feel a connection with the hero and heroine. While the story isn't really bad, it is missing the necessary emotion in a romance. For that reason, I can't rate it higher.
