Chicago Stars #2.

The romance starts off distastefully with Bobby Tom Denton living the life of a rich, shallow, sexist NFL player who treats women like disposable 'sex' objects. Fine, usually this serves as a starting point for the 'hero' who will display inner worth and grow along the way. Instead, Bobby Tom's behavior and attitude not only refuse to improve but instead over the course of the novel plummet.
I really didn't like the lead male character, Bobby Tom, just the name made me just want to run the other way, the character is a boy-men, a very cliché Peter Pan type of hero. Gracie Snow the lead female character is just... well... paper thin.. not physically, although it's not said, but intellectually, emotionally. The two lead characters kind deserve each other.
If I were to come across a man wearing a stetson and cowboy boots with his bathrobe, I would've laughed until I peed myself or threw up, whichever would've happened first. Gracie, however, found all sorts of wetness and hotness spreading and coursing through her as she saw this...spectacle. And of course, because his "football" player-ness and womanising had to be overdone, he spends all his time with a harem full of large-breasted, curvy, gorgeous women. Blondes, of course. I cringed quite a bit at this. What put me off the most was his "football quiz". That was a prime instance of humour gone bad, way bad.
So yeah, this was a highly disappointing read. I do have expectations from this writer though, so I'm probably going to read another one of her books. Not for a while though. Not for quite a while.
