I thought about giving it 2 stars, but then there's no Hero with an over-inflated ego who treats females like they're sex toys, no pregnancy and forced marriage and no spineless heroines...so for that I bumped it up. The story is good with a touch of angst there at the end and a very long courtship. There were quite a few things that bothered me about this story however.

First was the background on the H/h. Apparently, she used to be his assistant, but because he was attracted to her, he transferred her to a far less reputable department, she quit and everything snowballed until she was homeless. He basically ruined her career because he just couldn't resist her. The thing I hate most is that he never apologizes for it or expresses regret for his role in it. He simply throws money at her to make up for it.

Second, twin 2-year-olds should not receive individual Play Stations for Christmas. That's beyond overkill and poorly written on the part of the author. Very unrealistic. Nor do I think 2-year-olds really care much for Hannah Montana...but I could be wrong there.

Finally - the heroine. Overall, aside from forgiving the Hero initially and caving to his request way too soon, she has this habit that irritates the F**k out of me. She is the kind of person who will get super angry and when the Hero asks, "What's wrong?" she smiles and says, "Nothing." and then continues to fume about it. She does this on several occasions and I strongly dislike it. The Hero is not a mind reader. He cannot fix the problem if he doesn't know what it is.
