Neanderthal Seeks Human

So how do I rate this? Well the answer is on how much or little I enjoyed the story and enjoy it I did. Particularly the excellent audio narration by [a:Jennifer Grace 3133768 Jennifer Grace https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]. Probably a whole star goes to her choice of voices and inflections.Janie is your typical girl in contemporary romances: gorgeous but doesn't know it and the fact that she's brainy, wears glasses and is tall is somehow meant to make her freakish. Yep. Just like every other supermodel or Chloe Kardashian. She has a ton of long hair, big boobs, tiny waist and curvy butt. As I said: freakish and unattractive. In comes the mysterious, rich and “startlingly and even painfully handsome” Quinn Sullivan and the rest is FSOG history sans the bondage, though it is alluded to in passing by Quinn. The difference is that Janie is an entertaining character and it is fun to be in her head. She also has a fierce group of girlfriends who I'm sure will have books of their own. Everything about the relationships between the girlfriends and Janies' confidence in her intellectual and professional abilities was very refreshing which is why I got annoyed at her obliviousness to her attractiveness to Quinn. But it is a romance so I must chill and the last two chapters and the epilogue where perfect. I was left curious about Jem and her story. That's a girl who'd be hard to redeem but I think it might be a good story if done well. I also felt bad for Jon. Poor boy. And Quinn and his family? I feel a sequel coming on. Will I read it? Probably. No rush though. It will keep.I would recommend this fun contemporary but let's drop the the “Smart Romance” rubric because it's the usual story, albeit told with fun and wit.
