I have to admit I was a little apprehensive about reading a book told from Itch's perspective, but after the first twenty pages I was absolutely hooked.  I like that this lead character was such a departure from Brian, since in my opinion he seems too much like Jake from A Very Good Man.  Nothing wrong with Brian or Jake, but variety is nice from time to time.  Itch, or Den, has his own problems but his sense of humor has improved from the first book and I enjoyed how those "stupid self-help books" seemed to have actually helped someone for a change!  Further, the tenderness Denis showed Peggy, who he admits he does not love in a romantic way, was unexpected and sweet but my prediction is he ultimately ends up with Marcia.  See, this author is skilled enough to create characters you can care about, even those that start off as jerks.I saw one reviewer critical of the open ending, but I hope that is because the author is busy at work on the next installment of this series (hint, hint).  For me, the "ending" of the good reverend was a nice touch.
