Unexpected Packages

by Sindee Lynn

Connie Banks may only be twenty-one but she has seen her fair share of heartache. Always attracted to the “pretty boy” in the past she has made a promise to never allow herself to be taken in by a guy’s looks again. So what if that means she’s spent the last several months alone? Her already poor excuse for self-esteem has not suffered any further damage. That is until she gets a look at Kenny Jamison. He is the poster child for everything she has learned to stay away from. From the hot looks to the way he touches her body makes her soul scream he is the one. The man of her dreams. Yet, how can she trust that when everything she has learned is reminding her that guys who look like him don’t go for girls who look like her.

Kenny Jamison has always been sure of himself when it comes to women. And why shouldn’t he be when all he has to do is flash a smile and they fall all over themselves. Well everyone except Connie Banks. From their first meeting she hasn’t reacted like other women. She doesn’t seem to be impressed by his good looks or his smile. That’s okay because she’s not his type anyway. She’s young, works at a gas station and has more curves than the women he is attracted to. But, if that’s the case then why can’t he stop thinking about her and why has he decided to make it his new goal in life to get her to see that this “pretty boy” is ready for a change.

This book fell a little flat. I found myself getting irritated with Connie. While I understood where those insecurities were coming from I needed her to have an open mind and not judge Kenny until she had proof he was nothing more than a pretty boy. I found myself wanting to yell at her throughout the book. Some would say that’s a good thing because I was invested in the story. For me it earned crazy looks from my husband and people passing by when I couldn’t contain myself. Case in point without giving anything away her reaction to the ex-girlfriend was as Tamar Braxton would say overthetop.com I had a un-lady like outburst to this scene.

Simple put this book didn’t do it for me because I like my heroines to be strong. I’m not saying they can’t have flaws or have moments of vulnerability; however overall I want her to take no prisoners. Therefore, Connie disappointed me.

Other than the constant sex scenes there was no real connection but I still loved it. It's just the only times he could recall him loving her is during sex, the time first time they met and...that was it. I think it was great nonetheless but I also felt that there could've been a deeper connection between the two.


Also that girl on then cover is gorgeous so if she is suppose to be Connie the "cute one" then obviously she didn't she her own self worth.
