1144. Just One of the Guys (Kristan Higgins)

Synopsis:
Being one of the guys isn't all it's cracked up to be.

So when journalist Chastity O'Neill returns to her hometown, she decides it's time to start working on some of those feminine wiles. Two tiny problems: #1 - she's five feet eleven inches of rock-solid girl power, and #2 - she's cursed with four alpha male older brothers.

While doing a story on local heroes, she meets a hunky doctor and things start to look up. Now there's only one problem: Trevor Meade, her first love and the one man she's never quite gotten over - although he seems to have gotten over her just fine.

Yet the more time she spends with Dr. Perfect, the better Trevor looks. But even with the in-your-face competition, the irresistible Trevor just can't seem to see Chastity as anything more than just one of the guys..

My rating: 5 stars

My review: Another keeper by Kristan Higgins. I LOVE the ending of this book. For a few reviews, I've been raving about Kristan Higgins without specifically mentioning why. Here are the things that I love about her stories:
  • Her heroines are not model-perfect stunners with kindness and sweetness seeping out of their pores. They're normal girls who are nice but have issues.
  • The male characters are not billionaires or heroes. They're normal guys who are decent and nice but have issues.
  • The families are not out of a Norman Rockwell painting. Siblings fight. Parents fight. Siblings and the parents fight. The families are normal.
  • In other words, the people in her books are real with real problems mixed in with their good qualities. I found myself identifying with most of her female main characters, not something that happens often.
  • And the book covers are cute.
