About book Between The Sheets (2014)

I wanted to like this book a lot more than I did. The premise of a repressed good girl hooking up with a misunderstood bad boy is tried and true and the author is deft with characterization. But so much of this book fell flat for me.Shelby was annoying to the nth degree and even "understanding" (which I did not) the reasons and events behind her behavior didn't change that. She's stereotypical in the way of the heroine whom I feel I am supposed to pity, but her own self-pity and martyr complex just make me want to give her a good shake. This story is very much about her emotional journey, which I wanted to appreciate but I couldn't feel enough empathy for her to care.Ty is bland, a sad sack trying to start over and make things right with his estranged son. Their relationship is complicated and his attempts at parenting are both clueless and heartfelt. Their relationship was the only one I was invested in.Normally I enjoy a book in which untangling complicated feelings and relationships takes center stage, but I couldn't muster up enough feeling to care whether Ty could cope with Shelby and her baggage. I wanted to like this better than I did but I just couldn't like the heroine. The hero wanted to treat her with respect but she kept making him treat her basically like a whore by refusing to accept anything else from him. Consequently the sex scenes while hot enough left me feeling kind of icky. I don't know why he fell in love with her since she made him feel bad about himself. Yes she had a miserable back story and she had flashes of kindness mostly to his son but she was just cold and unyielding. The three stars are for the quality of the writing and for the hero's relationship with his sone.

Silly romance book read. Nothing really believable or enjoyable about it but it does pass the time.
