Dr. Will Daley is a brilliant neurosurgeon who got a perfect score on his SATs despite an unstable home life (including an absent father and a drug addicted mother). Bridget Slaten is a successful writer of erotic romance novels who has been disowned by her family for her scandalous profession and criticized by her family for her plus size shape. When Bridget's sister gets married, Bridget needs a date to the wedding -- especially since her sister has told everyone that Bridget is engaged. Will agrees to be Bridget's date and help her explore her sexual fantasies, but when things get serious Bridget will have to convince the man who doesn't believe in love that it really exists.

Poor Bridget. Aside from her sister, her family is hideous. Thankfully she finds Will, who seems like the perfect guy (except for his aversion to the words "I love you"). The whole book is entertaining and enjoyable, even though it's basically a giant romance novel cliche with a BDSM twist.
