I really enjoyed this story.  I loved that the hero (for once, thank you very much) was the one in love from the beginning, while the heroine was not sure about their relationship.However, I did not give it 5 stars, because it annoyed me (so much) the references made to the fact that the heroine's body was not as great as it was before, while the hero's was better than ever.  Yes, she had recently given birth, but was it necessary to mention that she was ten pounds heavier, her body was not as toned, her hips a little wider, and she had a C Section scar?  At least, why not have the heroine give birth naturally (thus no scar)?  I mean all this happened "off page", it was just mentioned for the sake of been mentioned and that's it. To the hero's credit he dealt with this issue by saying he did not care about those things (and he acted as if he meant what he said), still the implication was: that yes, her body was not as hot, and not once did he mention that her body was still beautiful.  All these references did not advance the plot at all, and disrupted the "fantasy read" for me.  There are many romance books that do no go into specific details about the heroine's body changes after child birth, or if they do it is in the positive side.  This approach is unrealistic of course, but I read romance books, to escape from reality. So I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5.
