One of the worst covers and titles I've ever seen, but the story itself was actually pretty good.1st person POV from the heroine, typical poor/smart girl meets and hates gorgeous/rich boy in college. With a hate/like relationship. 16 years later, they meet again, and circumstances have really changed.He's a quadriplegic.For me, I thought the handicap was handled well. It's not the typical romance that ends with a miraculous recovery, and the very real physical (body) effects of being unable to move/feel are not glossed over or glamorized (as an aside - I do not have any real life experience with this type of injury, so I don't know how accurate/inaccurate it is - it seemed good to me with my limited knowledge).The only real gripe (and it cost the book a star) is the seriously abrupt ending, and the fact that the ebook ended at 85% to allow for advertizing/excerpts. Oh! I almost forgot - Free on Amazon currently, too (no idea how long):http://www.amazon.com/Harvard-Hottie-ebook/dp/B00DUHRQ2K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1378125923&sr=8-1&keywords=harvard+hottie
HJL Reviews and Musings
I have a book addiction that began with Nancy Drew in kindergarten. I've read pretty much all genres, to exclude non-fiction because I love to read for the escapism. I only review books that I feel strongly about, whether for good or bad. I think of truthful, honest, reviews as being there as a 'pay-it-forward' for others.
