Lonely Housewife's Crocheted Blanket

Hmm, the art is a bit rudimentary so beautiful and handsome don't quite work, but the story is cute. She's a model on the run, he's a rich but rough around the edges rancher. She takes a job for him so she can remain incognito, they start to go wuvvy, then the truth comes out and he gets pissy then hunts her down. There's also some fortuneteller magic and aggrievement, which is funny, so overall: it's cute.

Well, it's slow, sweet and a bit convoluted. So she's inseminated with sperm that wasn't from the donor she chose and he's the rich guy whose sperm was used. They meet to discuss the mix up, go through the I want/piss off motions and end up married for the sake of the baby. A guy confesses to switching the samples because he doesn't trust single mothers, she has a miscarriage, they go through the I want/piss off motions, bad guy's identity is revealed and happyhappyjoyjoy for everybody.

This was so sweet. Two broken souls who are best friends and so in love with each other they actually heat a meat locker, but they won't admit to anything more than being best friends because of their respective histories. Circumstances bring them together after many years, and with chronic interaction they are forced to face the truth about their mutual affection.

There are varying forms of abuse and various therapies to deal with the damage caused, every human is different, so I do feel for the hero, because it was a form of abuse he endured under his father's tutelage. She, being his assistant, has seen more sides of him than he shows others, but as she fell for him, he only sees her as as a work tool. When she chooses to resign, the dynamics of their relationship change drastically. They screw, talk, eavesdrop, breakup and declare. It's o

Question! Um...What? She gets divorced, is approached by a man who grabs her and wants information on her husband without identifying himself, but she only reacts when she sees his pistol, ignoring the shot just taken at her head? She learns he's a cop, lets him do what he wants, sans warrant, arguing instinct vs logic? Then, being the mousy housewife she was, decides she wants a screw and instead of fighting crazy, he fucks her on the job? It's wuv! Okay...?

I'm adding this for the kid. He is an awesome kid who didn't give up on himself or the people he cared for. I have to agree with what the heroine did when she withheld information about her son from a man who spent his time brooding and running away. The hero, using the loosest definition, needed therapy. He took too much of his family's issues onto himself and refused let anyone help him carry the burden. The kid is great, though, so read it for him.

She was a model, she had her reputation ruined, her engagement broken and then was in an accident that resulted in one of her legs being amputated, all around the same time, but she didn't give up completely and check out early. Good on her. He, being the alpha male that he is, goes through life wallowing in sheer ignorance about emotion and his manipulative family and never lets anyone get a word in edgeways. It's alright, par for the course.

This is here because the hero is AMAZING; sweet, smart, resilient, willing to converse without rampaging, and, above all, PATIENT, because the woman he wants is a FUCKING MORON! What the sweet hell? She won't let him get much of a word in edgeways, thinks she's absolutely right without any discussion. This cow... Other than her being mostly annoying, it wasn't bad, and the hussy bits were funny.

Hmm, it's okay, but for a lawyer wanna be, she doesn't have much of a backbone or sense of spirit for debate. Sure, he's been hurt in the past by his family and his ex, but that's no reason for refusing to listen to a person who lacks dangly bits. He at least keeps his hands to himself when he argues, but his manner makes him difficult to understand, though she does have a tendency to balk then go cry alone. It's kind of cute and kind of annoying at the same time.

1) Well, he isn't a angry rapist... That's something, but there's still the whole idea of 'she-lit-a-fire-must-fuck-to-quell-it'. Then the eavesdropping on the call from one his misogynistic friends 'you-were-supposed-to-fuck-her-then-marry-Betty Crocker'. Hmm. At least she's got a head on her shoulders and doesn't let her emotions show until the very end. It wasn't bad, wasn't good, but wasn't bad... And he needs new friends.
