I enjoyed this book. It was different from your standard romance novel in that the author seemed more interested in creating the characters of the MCs more than advancing the plot. Oh, there was a plot, but it wasn't too complicated and there weren't too many twists and turns. I was actually impressed with how different J.J. was from the image he projected - sometimes the people you think are happiest...just aren't. I also loved to hate the villain (J.J.'s mother) - pure evil, ice water in her veins bad. Bad to the bone.Two things I wasn't crazy about in this book:I felt that the actual love story wasn't developed enough. I just didn't "feel" that this was "the love of their lives". Perhaps it was "the lust of their lives". I wondered at times if they even liked each other.The story made it SO FAR without a Big Misunderstanding, that at around 90% of the book, I was about to let out a sigh of relief...AND THEN IT HAPPENED! Ugh. It wasn't necessary, it derailed the story a bit, and it made me wonder just how much the characters could actually trust each other.But these weren't huge flaws. I didn't think about them until the book was done. I did enjoy this story quite a bit - quick, simple and satisfying.
