First line/s: "It was the type of place Samantha Waverly usually avoided."
My comments: The attraction between the two protagonists was weird. All SHE kept saying over and over was how huge he was. A "bear." /apparently pretty hairy, too. And they both, at the beginning, had huge commitment issues. Why? There was so much left to the imagination, and with books like this...that have the physical stuff so implicitly recounted, who needs the other stuff left out? Character development was nonexistent . It did get extremely steamy about halfway in, but it was weird -much of the description from at least her POV seemed to be much more physical pain than anything else. WTF? A fairly crappy read.
Goodreads synopsis: Factory mechanic Duke Crawford just wants to watch SportsCenter in peace. Unfortunately, living with four divorcee sisters doesn’t provide much silence, nor does it change his stance on relationships. But when a fellow commitment-phobe stumbles into his life, getting him good and worked up, he can’t deny his protective instincts.
Samantha Waverly’s brother just put her in an impossible situation. The only way out? Marry huge, gruff, gladiator look-alike Duke—for show, of course. She doesn’t make promises—she knows too well how easily they can be broken—and this is no exception.
As the blistering attraction between them grows, the lines around the no-strings relationship blur. But Duke and Samantha’s marriage is only for show…or is it?
