Okay, for the most part, I absolutely loved this book.  I cracked up several times while reading it, and would have loved to give it 5*.  Our shero was awesome, and our hero was arrogant but pretty awesome, too.Things I loved:The humor - there were situations I've never seen in a romance novel before, and I giggled and chuckled for most of the book.  Cat-calls, nail guns, and blankets, oh my!I really enjoyed a lot of Eve's interaction with her family, but I thought there were several things that were introduced and then the author forgot to go back and flesh out.  Interactions between her brothers and Matt, Eve and her mom, little things.There were two main reasons I took off a star:(Minor Spoilers)Claude - for an obsessed psycho, he actually isn't much of a villain.  I expected a bigger confrontation, and more resolution than the end provided.Eve's refusal to tell anyone about Claude.  She puts up with years of harassment from her family for giving up on her marriage because she refuses to admit that he tried to hit her.  He breaks into her house and trashes her bedroom - there's evidence everywhere, and she doesn't think the police will believe her?  For someone who is otherwise completely competent, I thought that was uncharacteristically stupid and obviously author interference.I half expected her mother to invite him to the family reunion to try and get them back together; THAT would have made for some entertainment.Overall a really great read, and I will be happy to read other books by Paula.
