The Petrov Proposal

The Petrov Proposal - Maisey Yates Yesterday on Twitter, I was talking to Jane from DA about Harlequin's new Kiss line, which debuts next year. I said that "if they're like HP's with non-asshole heroes and grown-up heroines, I'll be in heaven." That basically describes The Petrov Proposal to a T. The hero is commitment-averse, but so is the heroine. He's never arrogant or overbearing and she's never overmatched or passive. She's sexually inexperienced, sure, but she's no naive ingenue. She's a grown woman with an adult's understanding of sexuality. There's verbal sparring, hot makeouts, hotter sex, endearing vulnerable moments and a heartwrenching climax. If it didn't have that worthless epilogue and that Grand Gesture, It'd have been a 5* book.Still, this one was really, really good. I'd call it a 4.5* Presents.
