But it looks like Nick’s missed his chance when he discovers that Lizzie has been offered a modelling contract, which will take her away to the glamorous fashion scenes of New York and Los Angeles. Nick is forced to watch from the sidelines as the gawky teenager he knew is transformed into Elizabeth Donavue: top model and ultimate English rose pin-up, forever caught in a whirlwind of celebrity parties with the next up-and-coming Hollywood bad boy by her side. But then Lizzie’s star-studded life comes crashing down around her, and a guy like Nick could be just what she needs. Will she take a chance on him? Or is he just too damn nice?

My Review
Too Damn Nice begins with a flashback of a pivotal point in Nick Templeton and Lizzie Donavue's lives. The arrival of Lizzie's eighteenth birthday encourages Nick to take a brave step forward and make his feelings known. Lizzie, however, has a bombshell of her own which changes everything for Nick and when she makes him an offer she is wounded by his knock back.
Years later and a crisis point for Lizzie, she calls on Nick's help, despite keeping him at arms length since their last meeting. Nick never stopped caring for Lizzie and has been following her soaring modelling career and her obvious liking for a bad boy. Nick knows he will never match those pretty boys with their bad reputations, but that doesn't stop his feelings for her.
Determined to clear Lizzie's tarnished name and to help her heal, Nick takes her back to his home. Though while she's there, Lizzie has to face her demons and her attraction to Nick. How could he want her after the experience she's been through?
This is one of those stories when you want to grab the hero and the heroine and bang their heads together. But where's the fun in that? The book would be over far too soon and I certainly wouldn't want that to happen as I love the author's voice. Instead, this fabulously written, character driven plot, carries you smoothly through all of those will-they-won't-they moments and packs a sneaky punch with the added emotion.
Another success from Kathryn Freeman!
4.5 Butterfly Rating!
ABOUT KATHRYN FREEMAN
A former pharmacist, I’m now a medical writer who also writes romance. Some days a racing heart is a medical condition, others it’s the reaction to a hunky hero.
With two teenage boys and a husband who asks every Valentine’s Day whether he has to buy a card (yes, he does), any romance is all in my head. Then again, his unstinting support of my career change proves love isn't always about hearts and flowers - and heroes come in many disguises.
