Although there are few romances I’ve come across with a celebrity as a leading man, I find the premise an attractive one. Do I want to read about an egomaniac who is intent on being famous? Not really. But give me a male celebrity retiring from the game and I’m willing to give it a…
Mr. Imperfect took a long time to get started, but when it finally did, it moved along at a good clip. However, I never warmed up to the main characters, and sneered at the happy ending. The story is set in New Zealand – a nice change of pace – and begins with Christian Kelly…
