| This is the book you read when you are looking for a romance that is an easy read and a happy ending. There were tropes gallore in this, from "virgin and player" to "insecure heroine who doesn't know she's attractive."
There is a bit of an unbelievable meet cute, where Felicity, our heroine, is sleeping in her friend's boyfriend's brother's bed because they thought he wouldn't be home and - surprise! - he comes home and is exhausted from his long hours as a Chicago lawyer and just wants to sleep. So he gives her some of his clothes and crawls into bed with her... in a platonic way, of course. Immediately, these two start lusting after one another. But, of course, Felicity doesn't believe that anyone with six-pack abs who looks like Jared could be attracted to someone like her who is a size 12 (this is apparently a very important aspect of who she is, as her dress size - whether explicitly or more vaguely - is mentioned often by both Felicity and Jared. Make no mistake that Felicity has curves women with smaller dress sizes could never have). Felicity is a grad student studying art history and aspires to work at LACMA (which is nowhere near Chicago), while Jared is the hard-working & driven lawyer who got a leg up by having an on-again/off-again relationship with the daughter of his firm's senior partner (and that partner expects something to come from that relationship). Overall, this is definitely fitting of its series - Ever After - in that it definitely has elements of a fairytale. | |
