Review: Where are these great reviews coming from?!
Rating: 2 out of 5

I don't really want to go into a big spiel about why I didn't like this book, but I did want to point out a few key aspects to perhaps save time for those that have similar likes than I do.Point One - This book is fairly dull and really made me feel as if I were reading fanfic.  I've never been a fan of fanfic, and perhaps that's why I really didn't care for this book, but it seemed like it was very unbelievable.  The writing style seemed immature and the storyline not only had holes, but was rushed when there was explanation.  I see that this is the first book in a series, and I can't help but think that it's not off to the best start.  This can explain the plot problems, and perhaps the story does get better further down the series (I see that the reviews get better at least).  I just feel no real need to continue.Point Two - This is a first book in a series, yet I still feel that I was missing big chunks of the book that were never fully explained.  Relationships were left unexplained, the connections between some of the characters... unexplained.  I felt as if I had jumped directly in to book three, instead of starting a new series.  I found this really unnerving and it caused me to have problems making relationships with the characters.  It's hard to like/hate/root for people that you really have no idea much about.  The character development needed a lot of work.  In fact, from the way this is written, I felt sorry for the heroine for getting stuck with her hero.Point Three - (Contains Spoilers)  I'm so sick and tired of the "I was a virgin, but now I'm pregnant" story.  Yes, I'm aware that it is possible to get pregnant your first time.  It only takes one time, I realize that.  The rate of books where the young heroine gets pregnant while losing her virginity is just disgusting.  I swear, I feel like I should make a list of all these books where the girls get pregnant the first time to make my son read them and make him stay a virgin even longer.  He's only 4, so I have plenty of time to make a long list, but there's probably no need, I can think of at least five right off the top of my head.  It's just so annoying, and I'm really tired of that angsty plot-turn.Overall, there wasn't much keeping me from rating this as a one star, but I really was feeling generous.  I can understand how some other folks may enjoy this book, which was the only reason I gave it a two instead.  I found the start, where her childhood was mentioned interesting, but that interest shot out the window when her past didn't seem to matter.  (Which I should have probably made another part, but I'm tired of thinking about this book.)I personally didn't like this book, and I'm super glad that I got it as a loan on booklending.com instead of actually spending money on it.
