One of, if not the best Romance I have read!

You start off with a woman who has no self worth, except for her job. A job that ends up sending her to the Florida Keys to do a story on a coast guard diver who saved Jennifer Aniston's dog. It ends in a literal hurricane where the woman realizes (thinking she is going to die) that she has been too hard on herself and that she does not need to listen to all the naysayers.

Lots of humor! Must read!

I love everything Katherine Center. This one got a little boring in the end though and a little far-fetched. Boilerplate

DNF. Now, I do love to hate read, but this one was too much, even if I was trying really hard to keep an open mind and suffer through it for book club, especially because I already feel like "the love hater" of my club with my different taste in books. I can't stand the main character and her endless, whiny body insecurities. Girl, you might get fired, but the end of the world is getting weighed to go on a helicopter for the job that could save your career? Please. You're clearly described as low-to-mid size, but you won't be seen in a bathing suit in front of a bunch of old ladies? I was so tired of her whiny garbage before the cookie cutter good-looking hero even arrived, and when he did, he was just...bland. Not a love hater at all, just a courteous ripped dude with a dog who takes care of his aunt. Yawn. I even skipped to the end to see if it got more interesting and laughed (groaned) out loud when I saw she was STILL talking about her body and being seen in a bathing suit on the last page. If this had been a story about truly overcoming an eating disorder and done well, I would feel differently, but it was sold as fluff and silliness and endless brand and name-dropping. I finally gave up around page 100.
