I picked up this book based on all the 4 & 5 star reviews that were posted as well as the synopsis, it intrigued me and sounded like it would be a very powerful and emotional story.  Sadly this book turned out to be such a dissapointment.  I had several issues with this book:1. The books starts off with a prologue in 3rd person but then switches to first person in Chapter 1 which I found very confusing.2. It then has a really slow start, took almost 30% before it even started to interest me as it there was just way too much detail about everything, the room, what people looked like, what people wore and what they ate, I really had to fight not to skim all this over abundence of unnecessary detail.3. Lucca is such a great sexy character, that is till he talks.  I do not have issue with language but the "F" word came out of his mouth way too many times and was such a turn off for me, him cursing so much just didn't fit with her character's personality.4. I found Lexi's character to be all over the place, she suffered a tragic past and is terrified of any type of contact with a male to the point of panic attacks.  She has stayed completely away from all men and any type of a relationship with them,  yet within 2 days of meeting Lucca she hands over her V card no questions asked.  This 180 degree switch in her behavior just didn't work for me.I tried very hard to love this book, saying there must be something in the story that will turn it around, with it having so many great reviews.  I hate having to DNF a book and it doesn't happen much but by 67% I couldn't go on and am asking myself "did I read the same book as those that have written such glowing reviews of it?"  Guess I will chalk it up to this book just not being my type of enjoyable reading.
