ARC Review: Yours For the Taking [Mass Market Paperback]
I've finished "Yours For the Taking" the 4th book in her Domestic Gods series by Robin Kaye.
Product Description
He might be too good to be true...
Ben Walsh shouldn't be single. Handsome and wealthy, Ben is equally at home in Idaho where he grew up and in Manhattan where he's now an art dealer. Suave and successful with impeccable taste, he normally has women beating down his door. But the one woman he wants can't be convinced that he's for real...
She isn't sure if she has time for fairy tales...
Gina Reyez has fought for every bit of her success, and it's about time for things to start going her way. So when Ben makes a proposal that will allow her to take care of her family the way she wants to, she agrees. Besides, a guy this perfect would never be interested in her...right? By the time Gina figures out that she's read Ben all wrong, the arrangements are made, the papers are signed...but what exactly are they getting themselves into?

My Review:
I had a problem with the heroine Gina because she was acting like a PRINCESS the whole time she was with/without Ben. Ben is from Idaho and she couldn't be bothered to get the state right (because anything not in NY is all the same). When they arrive in Idaho, Ben tells her that she needs to dress warm when they arrive at his uncle's ranch and she whines the whole time about how she can't wear boots that don't have heels or clothes that don't have any color or isn't designer fashioned.
There is a history why Gina acts this way but Ben doesn't learn that story until almost the end of the book (during a very prolonged period of groveling on his part)
What I don't understand is Ben is in love with Gina. She treated him like crap and really didn't do anything special for him (besides she thought he was gay halfway through the book).
Now Ben on the other hand is very understanding and basically a good guy who wants to keep his parent's ranch in the family by abiding by his uncle's wishes (marrying someone and giving him grandkids)!
3/5
Thanks Danielle from Sourcebooks for sending me this book to review, greatly appreciated!
