Just One of the Guys

2.5, rounding up to 3 because of the damn dog. Look, in theory I should have liked this—Chas and Trevor are fun, but like 90% of the other relationships are just wayyyyy too ridiculous and convoluted and honestly? The other love interest was a condescending prig and I’m still irked by his presence.

Journalist, and one of the guys, Chastity O'Neill is the only daughter in a family of four boys (and mostly firefighters) with the body of an Amazon. Meaning, if she doesn't intimidate men, then her family will.
Great.
Except now she's moved back home and is dating a hunky doctor, everything is looking just ...wrong. Her first love, Trevor, is handing around looking sexy and completely unaffected by her new bf, her parents are temporarily separated and moving towards divorce, and My Hunky is starting to lose his shine.

What I Liked: Chastity is a young woman, in her prime, who is ready to make something of herself and her life. She moves back home, tackles a new job and is ready to start looking for love. Not only that, but Chastity is doing her best to live up to her heroic fire-fighting family by training as a paramedic despite her crippling fear of blood. She's strong, she's determined and she's flawed. That's what I want from a character in a romance novel. Beautiful imperfections. And a sexy, smoldering and silent romantic lead like Trevor.

What I Didn't Like: The whole time Chastity was letting herself be blinded by her Hunky Doctor, I was yelling at her. The guy obviously never had a chance - he was smarmy, selfish and self-involved. He wasn't a really competitor for her heart and this part of the story seemed to drag on endlessly, and I was left impatient for the juicy bits of interaction between Chastity and Trevor.
