I do not usually read this line of Harlequins, so feel free to take this review with that grain of salt. I would call this an old school romance, so much so that I checked the publication date twice. The hero bruises the heroine and blames it on her tender skin and presses himself against her while she says no. In my mind that's abuse, not romance. I also think anyone who knows someone with a disability will be offended by the portrayals of it in this book. For the record, being in a wheelchair does not necessarily mean your life as a productive member of society is over! Both characters say mean things to each other and lie by omission. I had to force myself to finish it.

I love Melanie Milburne's writing style. She has a talent of making the characters very believable. Some of the things said by the Hero & Heroine come across as very hurtful. But in my opinion it makes it all the more believable, because it seems like something you might hear in real life. I love when an author is able to take me away from my real world and put me in the middle of her pages, like I am one of the characters. And Melanie was able to do that with this book!
