Breakfast in Bed by Robin Kaye

About The Book

Rich, the epitome of "anti-domestic," can't cook to save his life, and his idea of cleaning his apartment is to invite his mother over. But he's ready to settle down, and he can't stop thinking about the ex-girlfriend who got away. When he notices that his soon-to-be-married friends cooked and cleaned their way into their women's hearts, he asks his friend Becca to help transform him into a nurturing man to win back his ex. Rich is the only guy who's taken the time to know Becca for herself. She decides she'll give him the makeover he's asking for, though she'll be damned if she's going to turn him into a domestic god for another woman. She wants Rich for herself, but how can she convince him that her kitchen and her bedroom are the only domestic locales he desires?

My Opinion

This is not only a very typical romance novel, it is a very predictable one.  The two lead characters start out disliking each other, being thrown together against their will, and then end up falling in love.  Although the writing is well done, the storyline is very plain and easy to figure out long before you get through the first chapter.  The characters are likable so it doesn't make any sense why they wouldn't like each other.  Especially since the woman is best friends with the man's sister.  They should like each other, if not romantically, at least as friends.  And why didn't Rich, the lead male, know about Becca, the female lead, and her past?  If she was his sister's best friend AND his best friends sister, then he should know as much about her as they do.  That is just one of the strange inconsistancies in the book that make it a little hard to read.  If you just like the same old romance novels, with little suspense or imagination, then this is the book for you.  If, however, you're like me and like to be kept guessing on what's going to happen and how, then you won't want to read this book.

My rating: 2.0 stars
