This is one of "The Elliotts" series. Cullen is 27 and made Misty (a 32 year old ex-showgirl) his mistress four years ago. They were casual, but intense about each other for all those years together. Cullen forgets protection, and she ends up pregnant. She hides it at first from him, avoiding changing their relationship, but once he finds out the first thing he does is ask her to marry him. She turns him down about a dozen times in the book, because she's afraid she'll only bring pain and humiliation to Cullen because of her former career. She's a pretty demure woman by nature, not a showy showgirl, and she's capable of being hurt by what people think of her. Cullen is so loving towards the heroine, so tender! He always wants her with him and can't stop himself from cuddling and touching her. This was a really enjoyable book.
Rating: 4.5/5 stars, the hero was adorable when in love. NFM
