I can't believe some of the negative reviews,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sweet Nothings (Mass Market Paperback)
I am one of the toughest romance novel critics around, having read romances for many years and going through several of them each week. This is why I can't understand how any romance novel reader could dislike this novel. It's wonderful! One reviewer wrote that Molly's insecurities were overdone and that she needed to "get over it." Evidently, this reviewer doesn't understand the battering someone's self-esteem can take when living with a man who for twelve years has convinced her she's fat and ugly. The fact is, according to society's views, Molly is overweight and her ex-husband played up on that. Molly marries the repellent Rodney when she's 18. From that time until the time she's 29 or 30, he works on battering her ego. This is a real scenario and one that happens all too often to women who marry young and marry control freaks. It's perfectly understandable that it would take a long while for her to build her self-esteem back up. I am so grateful that Catherine Anderson created a character who, at 5 ft. 2 and 140 lbs, isn't the "slim, lithe" heroines we always get. A woman like that would never believe that an ultra hunk like Jake would pay her any attention. Even a woman who isn't "pleasantly plump" might have a hard time thinking a man like Jake would be interested. Is it any wonder Molly doesn't want to take her clothes off in front of him? I could completely relate to the feelings the heroine went through. I do agree with some other reviewers that Jake, the hero, was too good to be true, although Anderson handles this expertly too. At first, I was thinking, right along with the heroine, that someone so gorgeous could never really be interested in a woman like Molly (who is pretty, but not beautiful). However, the way Anderson describes Jakes feelings toward Molly, it is easy to see why he would be attracted to her. Is it so hard to believe that a man wants a real woman and not a gym Barbie? I guess it might be, but I'm sure there is that one in a million male out there who hasn't been brainwashed by the media and who appreciates a real feminine shape; Jake Coulter is just that type of character. Yes, as one reviewer pointed out, he does get turned on when he feels the dimples behind her knees, but that's because he loves everything about her, all the soft, cute dimples included. This romance novel shows real love, folks. It's not just about sexual attraction (although that's there too) and how perfect each of the protagonists look. Even though Jake is gorgeous, even if he were less than perfect, you'd still fall in love with him. He truly is a hero.

Pretty good but sometimes a little annoying,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sweet Nothings (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was well written and had a pretty good plot but I got a little sick of reading about all the insecurities the heroin felt all the time and how placating the hero had to be. I also didn't quite understand why the hero fell for Molly. Sure she had a good heart, but she was pretty darned annoying and went off the deep end a couple times. And I definately did not want to read about how much the heroin's cellulite (yes this word was used in the book) turned our cowboy hero on!!! Yuck (I personally found this part a little unbelievable). I enjoyed reading it, despite all that. I wouldn't try to deter anyone from reading it, but i wouldn't recommend either.

This review is from: Sweet Nothings (Mass Market Paperback)
I have always had a hard time finding books that I can really get into. This book got my attention from the start. Jake and Molly were wonderful characters and the excitement starts from the first page. If your looking for a book that you won't be able to put down, Sweet Nothings is a great choice.
