Review: An easy read written in the style of a Harlequin romance

I downloaded this book from the Amazon free eBook list so I could experience a new author. The premise was a little unbelievable and the lifestyle described was like a fairy-tale and a little hard to relate to. One of my major issues with the book was the huge insecurity that the female protagonist experiences which is not logical  because given her achievements as opposed to the problems she has had this should not be the case. She is a collage lecturer, which is a big  accomplishment  and requires a lot of hard work, who has had a bad first marriage which although mentioned in a general way is never explained in great detail - none of this justifies the crippling insecurity that she talks about. She is also an attractive woman - regardless of the "fake" beauties the hero is exposed to in the beginning it is has nothing to to with her "genuine" beauty that attracts him - if she did not look good he would not have looked twice. I liked the interaction with the children, family members and friends those relationships were very well presented but I was a little thrown by the twist in the last section of the book that seemed a little out of place and appeared to "force" the resolution scene with the couple. It was an OK read and I did get to experience the work of a new author which was the intention of reading the book in the first place.
