An easy, short read. I liked it but I didn't love it. The story kept me semi entertained. But ultimately fell a little flat for me.

This author for me is a hit or miss and this book for me was a miss. Not to say someone else might not enjoy it but it just was not to my taste.

It is written very well and the plotline kept me interested. I just felt that the book centered on a topic that I would rather not read about and I was teased about prior to reading it. I also did not really understand why Julia was so terrific that Bastian wanted to date her since he met her.

This book centered on two major characters, Bastian, a rich, playboy type and who is superhot with a great butt, and Julia, a supermarket sampler girl who doesn't think she is very attractive, and is a music college drop out. Both have a big secret that has really affected and changed their lives and they don't share with the other.

Julia, just didn't seem anything but ordinary and so I had no idea why Bastian liked her and wanted to ask her out. They don't even chat until the one day he collapses at her feet. Bastian is very sick, he has Lupus. It was in remission until the day he collapses at Julia's feet.

The book is mostly about him having Lupus and how he does not want to saddle Julia with a guy that is sick. He doesn't call her when he gets an attack and she thinks he is dumping her until finally she decides to go see him.

For the first 20% of the book we don't see Bastian except for his collapse and it was kinda dreary. Julia does not lead an exciting life. So I really did not understand what Bastian saw in her. Once they meet, I understood it but before taht he lusted after her, well I did not get that.

ARC received for review

Julia "steals" Big Sexy's wallet when Bastian collapses at her work. She returns it (after looking up his pics on line...d!ck pics) and he's jerk. Not only to her but his rock star client who thinks Julia is hot. He goes back and apologizes and asks her out. They start a relationship with many bumps in the road including a separation cause he's once again a jerk. He again apologizes, and we get a happily ever after.

Now what about his brother and the rock star. Can they both get a book?

Something in this book never clicked for me. Julia works at a grocery store handing out samples. She is crushing on a guy who is obviously rich from his suits. He passes out in the grocery store and she calls 911 to help him. In the meantime she keeps his wallet with his info.

It was an awkward beginning, and middle to me. I liked the ending (but to be honest that was a little off for me too).

Julia works in a store handing out samples, she hates it, but she needs to pay the bills. She notices this gorgeous guy and her and her best friend call him "Mr. Sexy Big". She knows she has no chance with him because he is way out of her league, but that does not stop her from fantasizing about him. Bastion, does notice Julia, and he thinks she is gorgeous, when he finally decides to meet her, he faints, because he sick. She ends up with his wallet, and when she drops it off, he is a jerk, shattering her imagination of him. Bastion feels bad, that he was a jerk, but was intrigued because she put him in his place. As they start there love affair, he breaks her heart because he does not want to hold her back. Eventually everything comes out, and they get there HEA.
