This one was better than the other Harlequin novels I've read and actually kind of a cute, nice love story. That said, not thrilled about the portrayal of the main character's internal conflict. Predictably, her internal struggle is a war between repulsion (this time because of her close friendship with the man), jealousy, and attraction. Kisses that she did not ask for, the man just walking all over her when she says "no." At the end, a reveal that he was pretending to date a supermodel to MAKE THE MAIN CHARACTER jealous. So once again, a novel where the happy ending comes as a result of really fucked up manipulation on the part of her love interest. Awful awful awful. Will I read more of these? yes.
