Nothing in Common (from publisher):It's all fun and games—until someone catches your eye... To Sarah Lazin, gorgeous men are like bargain-basement grab bags—nice wrapping with nothing inside but junk. She's ready to dismiss Alex Caine as just another pretty face, but she soon learns there's much more to him than that. He's a man she could love, if only she can forget her past and the handsome lover who scorned her. Will Sarah give Alex the chance he deserves, or will she keep pushing him away by saying they have "nothing in common"?
Review: This is a somewhat predictable, yet still intriguing hot guy falls for chubby, not beautiful gal story. Sarah dated a very handsome man and through his verbal abuses and actions her self confidence plummeted so that any man in reality would have a hard time getting into a relationship with her, not just 'Mr. Gorgeous' Alex. Especially considering the actions and things William said to Sarah would have even made a gorgeous, skinny woman insecure. Alex, while he may look perfect, doesn't realize what it is like to be dumped and unwanted and has a hard time with that. I felt that he often didn't get the deep emotional scars that Sarah had through her somewhat traumatic breakup. William really came across an emotionally abusive man who would be bad for any woman. Sarah also didn't like being judged on her looks, but she still did it with Alex and the men she had went on dates with after William. This is a very good novel on looking past the package and really looking at what is on the inside. Sarah and Alex both had to really look at themselves on the inside; Alex at his somewhat shallowness with women and Sarah with her low self image. One fault I have not just with this story, but with all of this author's works that I have read, is the abrupt endings. After the high emotional stringing throughout the tale it sorta dumps you on you butt with a "well that's that" type feeling. A gentle easing would be better as I was still strung out over the drama. Overall, I would highly recommend this story and consider it a keeper and reread for its humor and emotional depth.
