I read this book as part of the Smart Bitches, Trashy Books bookclub pick for August. I've liked every other book they've picked, so I decided to go for it, even though my luck with Presents has been 50/50. (I read one I liked and one I hated.) This one just didn't do it for me. In the middle of it I was liking it, but by the end I was just, eh. 
 Best parts: 
 1.)strong heroine - a costume designer with ambitions, she was starstruck but didn't want to be, and she wanted a real relationship 
 2.)believable interactions between hero and heroine - he was distant with her and she called him on it. They actually talked through issues, as much as he would allow. 
 Parts the irked me: 
 1.)No birth control! Not mentioned once. (unless I missed it, but I don't think so) It really made me wonder how dumb they were - they'd seemed smart until then. 
 2.)Not enough groveling. I get that he had a horrible childhood and he's walled himself off. That was set up and explained really nicely. But (view spoiler)[ after she leaves him, he wins her back by showing up at her apartment saying he forgot one of his possessions, HER. Seriously, that's what won her back, was him saying he owned her. And I was surprised that she quickly agreed to marriage. That seemed VERY hasty to me. (hide spoiler)] 
 3.)The setup with the heroine's family wasn't really followed through. I thought it was really going to be a decent chunk of the story and her growth. That there would be some sort of confrontation with her sister. But, nope, just one line to resolve it. It surprised me in a bad way. 
 I've read a lot of positive reviews, but this one just didn't do it for me.
