A lovely break from slim, svelte heroines, Young's Caroline Torrington is refreshingly Rubenesque.

Caroline Torrington, Caro, sees herself as large, dowdy and overweight, but Lucas Foxhaven finds her lush, delicious, succulent and, for a variety of reasons, off limits. When his antagonistic and controlling father demands Lucas marry Caro to maintain his allowance, Lucas chafes. To smite his father, he foolishly proposes a marriage of convenience--no love, no sex, no children, no regrets.

Even before Caro agrees to this sham marriage, she's full of regret. Hurt, but in a desperate financial state herself, Caro agrees. She's always loved Lucas, but she's fat and he's fit. She knows the only way he'd ever consent to marry her is for money.

Will this couple ever really get together?

Michèle Ann Young's NO REGRETS is the perfect love story with wonderfully imperfect characters. I loved Caro. She's a queen-size girl with a queen-size heart who innocently fumbles her way into queen-size blunders. Beautiful and loving, she learns to see her own beauty and love herself just about the time Lucas makes some discoveries of his own.

You won't regret reading this book.
