It was kinda fun to read and wait to see what foot he would shove in his mouth next | But first she took a creative writing course |

I'm always intrigued by how much less dated the older Harlequin Presents are than the ones published in the 21st century | He thought after his supermodel ex heroine would fall on his feet the moment he crooks his finger |
She is rather dubious about it, cause mainly she thinks he wants to pick up the plain girl to soothe his wounded ego, and she probably is not wrong in that estimation.
The h leaves in frustration and then we get the inevitable OW warning off scene a few paragraphs later | In an ironic turnaround Sophie agrees to marriage as apparently the sex WILL be compensation for the drudgery she anticipates |

I can DEFINITELY see heroine leaving him at the altar or divorcing him at a more convenient time | These days son and daughter have fled the nest, but they return with loving regularity to where Catherine and her husband back for good from his travels live, with Prince, the most recent Labrador, in a house built at the end of Victoria's reign in four acres of garden on the cliffs between the beautiful Wye Valley and the River Severn |
The h has been fine playing little mother to her brothers and their endless feedings and washings and running her dad's house, but she is getting restless and wants to get her own little nest and her own life.
17Right before she can do so, the H's ex who jilted him shows up and the H looks like a love struck puppy all over again | She still doesn't want to marry the H tho and so when he calls to demand she go out to dinner with him, she has already booked herself a night serving at the pub |
---|---|
Other people tell her she does, but that didn't cut too much ice with her, she tends to agree and just do her own thing usually | 3 stars solely for heroine |
Sophie thought marriage was for the birds! The h goes back to her father's house whilst she recovers and the H goes out of his way to be perfectly distant.
