I received this book as a free gift from Harlequin, but I liked the cover, so it did not take me long to get around to reading it. Normally, I find Harlequin romances formulaic in format and rather predictable. This book was a bit better than most, maybe because this is the second book that I have read by RaeAnne Thayne.I found the situation that put a Hollywood socialite at the mercy of a random cowboy / army major to be a little unbelievable, but once the plot moved past the initial stages, I liked the chemistry between Mimi Van Hoyt and Brant Western. The two characters were in many ways complete opposites, but they still complemented each other. It was hugely ironic that Mimi became homemaker to Brant's place -- nesting syndrome was kicking in early. I also did not expect the period of separation, though it fit with Brant's military duties.This book was a sweet, quick read that made me smile. I received this book free from the Tell Harlequin reader panel. It was okay, no major issues for something in this genre. It is a very innocent romance, kissing only. The story follows the general formula for these lines. If you've read one, well...you know.I had trouble liking the heroine, because she is a Hollywood socialite. Even though she is sweet and kind, I pictured a certain real life celebrity who gets too much press coverage and is annoying.My only other dislike is there are too many other characters mentioned who are not actually in the book. I realize this is one of a series, and the author wants us to read those books too, but I feel like if I read the other books, I'll get another list of names from more books.
