I really liked the idea of meeting over an internet scrabble game.  Especially if you are a jaded rocker looking for someone who won't just want you because you are in a band.  I liked the broken, terrified heroine who was afraid to go out.  Perfect combo.  There were just some things I would have liked to have happened differently.*I can't understand why she would allow him access to her in person without knowing him a lot better after what happened to her.*I would have liked them to get better acquainted over the game before he got all stalker like and tried to find her.*I don't have a clue why she kept calling herself plain.  There wasn't much of a physical description given and the only reason she seemed to feel like she wasn't attractive was because her sister was more outgoing.  If she is seriously as hot as our hero claims she is, then it wouldn't matter how extroverted her sister is, she would still get attention unless she hid in a closet and she has only been a recluse for the last two years...and only after dark.  Soooo.....I guess I didn't feel there was a reason for her to be so down on herself and her appearance.  If she had always been talked down to because of her beautiful sister, or gotten scars or something from her attack, then I could see her being self conscious but I just didn't get that.*The back and forth break ups are always annoying when there is really not a good reason, but they "broke up" quite a bit for only being together such a short time and were kind of overly torn up about it for people who only knew each other a week.*Why on earth would anyone who is in a hospital after only JUST waking up from a stabbing and brutal beating immediately have sex? He was broken up, she was beaten up....yet...that's the first thing they do?I liked this couple, and actually liked the story except for the few things that bugged me.  Not all stories are going to have every element that makes sense or agrees with everyone so for the most part, this was an enjoyable read.
