Review: 3.5 stars...I have really mixed feelings about this book.
Rating: 4 out of 5

I loved the first part and couldn’t literally put it down, but the second half to me was disappointing, a bit stilted and not very engaging. It seemed like the story was proceeding too slow-paced and the author was compelled to rush in all the sex, angst and drama in the last half of the book. I liked the characters and I find the idea of having the main female character cope with a chronic disease a nice and moving touch. The problem for me was that the relationship between Asher and Maddie got from friendly employer/employee to boyfriend/girlfriend way too fast in a night of passion I found a bit out of context. It really seemed to me that the author wanted to fit other events planned and so just got over the whole relationship building quickly. I would have skipped the whole Jacqueline business to be honest, I found the story could have done better without it and with some more exploring in other situations.All in all I liked the book, but it has some flaws I can’t completely overlook. I would have totally loved it if it maybe was longer or developed in a series of sort.Last thing to mention: in my version there were a few mistakes a good editor might have fixed, nothing major and that influences the story, though.
