Joan Elliott Pickart (1943–2018)

Okay, I don't like Romance novels because of the flowery and (no offense to Romance-lovers) sometimes illogical and unreal stuff it generally has. But I gave this one a try 'cause I found this old copy on my shelf (probably my sister borrowed it and forgot to return) and I don't like having unread books on my shelf.

Anyway, I liked this book. It doesn't have that super flowery stuff. It's a stereotypical storyline with a huge buff masculine guy named Burke Madison who's a criminal lawyer and Morgan Gray, a typical petite lady, who dislikes it when someone calls her cute or remarks on her tiny stature. They both happen to meet at a supermarket and it turned out that Burke was her new neighbour. Also Burke has this obsession about accomplishing some new feat every year and this year he decided that the new feat has to be 'falling in love'.

Slowly the interactions between the two of them grew and they fell in love with each other before they knew it. The whole story revolves around the both of them figuring out that they actually love each other.

One plus point about this book is the good humor. There are a lot of good punches in it that I found myself laughing at.… (mer)
