I absolutely loved this book, it was one of my quick reads, which I read in a few hours I loved both the main characters Cory and Nick. they showed depth and they are characters that you can relate to. Although Cory had a lot of personal hang ups about her own self-worth, Nick handled the situation beautifully. Not being to macho or over bearing, but a genuine guy, despite his wealth seemed down to earth and well grounded. He not only recognized Cory for who she was in a positive way, but he was able to point out her flaws as well as his own without seeming to be patronizing and holier than thou.

If your looking for a light love story with a realistic ending and a few light laughs I recommend this book.

Book Description: Nick Morgan was way out of Cory's league. Wealthy, suave and devastatingly handsome, he was a legendary playboy who had women falling at his feet. If and when he decided to marry, surely his chosen wife would be blond and beautiful--not plain and sweet looking like Cory? But, it seemed, Nick had set his sights on conquering Cory and was determined to have her at any cost. But, she had to wonder, was it really her that he wanted, or her innocence?

Nice read. Cory's personal struggles played a larger role than I would have liked, taking up much of the story. Nick's insight was amazing and his patience was nothing less than astounding. Of course no story is ever complete without the ever necessary beauty running interference. All in all, a nice quick read.

Nick Morgan fell for Cory James the day they met, Rufus the dog made sure of that. After knocking Nick to the ground, and eating up his cell phone, Rufus gave Nick a built in way for Cory to make amends for letting Rufus off his leash. She had to go on a date with Nick.
Cory ended up going with Nick to dinner, and because it was to an exclusive restaurant, Cory's Aunt Joan stepped in and provided a great dress for Cory to wear. Later Nick made sure Cory felt guilty enough for him to see her as often as he could.
Cory couldn't see herself as a lovable person, because her late parents never showed her love. But her Aunt Joan loved her and felt deeply for the lack of love in her niece's life, Joan could never understand why anyone could have a child like Cory and not love her. Pouring as much love on Cory as she could Joan tried to make up for the lack of feelings Cory had received from her parents.
Nick came alone and he too wanted to give Cory the love she lacked and he didn't mind giving that love patiently.
Nick was everything a hero should be. Cory came to the same conclusion.
So with love and patience Nick won Cory's heart.

I found this romance book, so very boring and easy to forget. The story jumped quickly from Nick Morgan being angry at Cory to him falling totally in love with her. It was a bit unbelievable as well. Cory allowed her aunt's large, uncontrollable dog off its leash and the dog collided into Nick Morgan, causing damage. One moment he was angry with her, the next minute he was asking her out on a date.

The heroine, Cory, was too, too, incredibly innocent. I do believe there are still innocent young women in our world, and the Harlequin Romance series has built many story lines on innocent virginal heroines. But I found this heroine (Cory), too "green" and just plain boring. The hero, Nick was stiff and predictable.

The storyline was out-dated, but set in a modern world. Nick Morgan and Cory, as a couple just did not have any heat or sparks and this came across in the book.
