Ain't She Sweet by Marie Force

I was looking forward to Charley's story as she seems to have such a strong personality and just speaks her mind quite freely. I love her directness and that she seems like a tough character with a good heart. Tyler on the other hand was a rather unknown character before his appearance in this book, so I wasn't certain what to expect of him. He did surprise me positively though and I do must congratulate him on his determination of winning over Charley after so many rejections beforehand.
The circumstances of their coming together or rather how Charley ended up injured and living at his place where a bit over the top for me but I could get behind that. What really disappoint me though was that I wanted Charley to have her guard more up and fight this 'thing' with Tyler much more. That's just what I had expected from her personality that they would have way more bickering going on and that it would be way harder for her to let someone get close to her in anyway, especially someone she was so determined fighting for years and declared to not want anywhere near her.
For me it made it harder to get Charley as a character as I felt she was constantly contradicting herself and I wasn't really sure what to make of her anymore. Some of her decisions like why she went after the hospital with Tyler, instead of living with any of her family members, just wasn't quite clear to me. If I'm in pain, I do prefer to be surrounded by family and be at my own place or at least a familiar one to be comfortable when I'm feeling the worst. And I do get that everyone was rather busy themselves but she has a huge family I'm sure they could have figured it out one way or another. It wasn't so much that she went with him what irritated me than the reason behind it and that she just kind of said okay I'll go with you without really giving it a second thought.
We have also again the motive of a for years going on unrequited love from Tyler towards Charley and even though she was supposed to be closed up they seem to get close very fast and I don't mean just in the physical sense. As it also appears that we have again a lot of sex scenes which under the circumstances that Charley said that that's all she wanted I was kind of fine with it, although it was still a lot considering that the stories aren't that long and that she was in recovery. I also just want to say that I don't mind reading sex scenes, I just kind of get bored with them after a while when it seems that they keep happening constantly without much else to it.
Otherwise I did like Tyler a lot even though he was extremely devoted that sometimes I felt actually sorry for him. They do make for an interesting couple as they seem to have rather different personalities but somehow they seem to make it work.
