His pain at being considered unreasoningly violent, even by those who should know better, was really engaging to me. I also love how he's got a core kindness and fundamentally protective nature that shows through in all his actions (and not just with Sophy). He's big and tough and has very intimidating features and I loved how consistently that's depicted. Sophy is an artist (unlike my daughter), so I totally bought her being drawn to Mick whose face is 'interesting'. Or, at least, she's a whole lot like my oldest daughter and I recognized her so well in this. This is one of the best depictions I've read of an introverted character who also has a healthy dose of the shy (bordering on debilitating social anxiety). Sophy and Mick were outstanding together and the story was very sweet. This was a delightful, quick read and a really good short romance (I mostly like my romances longer, so I mean this as a compliment). And they can’t stay away from one another. Mick, apparently born with a face that not even a mother could love, has given up all hope of having one. She’s never looked for a long-term relationship, and isn’t sure she wants one now. Introvert Sophy is content with her independence and solitude. And an even more unlikely – and very reluctant – love. A security breach brings the two into fast and furious collision, and an unlikely friendship begins to blossom. Security consultant Mick Hollister is used to women looking at his ugly mug – but not with the genuine pleasure he sees in the face of the girl with the charcoal-smudged fingers and terrible skills at covert surveillance. She’s completely fascinated and attracted by the striking planes and angles of his unusual face, and can’t resist sneaking out her pencil when he’s not looking. When of the world’s prestigious art collections comes to the resort town of Queenstown, New Zealand, shy art student Sophy James is immediately drawn to the pieces on display – and to the massive, silent, sexy presence keeping watch over them.
