I just finished this and I am still stunned. A big huge tremendous WOW I just finished and I am stunned, shocked, and needing to yell a little bit. I feel the same way as I did when my player didnt make the NBA All Star team. That ain't good! First things first. I love I nice long book! This was really good for that. The next thing I like is a strong character. I got that with the leads Eric, Tina and Renae. I want everyone to read this so I am going to try something different and break it down so I can entice others!Eric: a mild mannered college student/professor. He is perfect in every way. He has goals, dreams, and plans. What I loved about Eric was the basis for his character was hard work! He was goal oriented. Trying to get his beloved radio program off the ground he works tirelessly. All he wants is to have admin take the plan to make it reality. Keeping income in mind he works as a personal trainer at "The Club". There are times when he is almost too good to be true. I guess for someone in his situation  he wants to finish his Masters Degree Program and get that MBA. You know to me he is Rupert. Young, good looking, smart with a nice haircut. I will say nice butt too, but Ive never seen it, Tina told me so.All along I admire his goals. Not one time does he go, get drunk, have random sex and live to regret it. That is not Eric. So, yes I am in love with him.The book explores the character of Eric in great detail. He does fall for a married woman, oh well. So it may not be the choice he would make, but the heart wants what it wants. What I LOVED was how the author makes the choice to show that two people can have an affair that is not physical. When you cross the imaginary line, there is no going back. Can you call that adultery? I dont know but I think so. It doesnt take away from me loving the hell out of Eric.The author shows the extreme passion he has for Radio Broadcasting. He goes into battle mode with the administration thus proving he is a man of honor. He cares about this program, his goals and his students. There is a lot of politics between him and the university. Overall another interesting part of the story that shows he is so intelligent.Eric has Renae his best friend. They know each other through the industry for years. She has a kid and is married. Her marriage goes into turmoil and this is another dilemma. Eric has big feelings for a married woman and his best friend is battling her husbands indiscretions. So another score for the author here. He shows how an affair can be emotional, imaginary or physical and have consequences. Renae is a great girl, a friend to Eric, and a business associate. She plays a vital role being Eric's confidant.Now Tina...my heart hurts for her because I feel like I know her. There is so many sides to her character. She is very caring, a great mom and has strong faith. I wont give plot away, but I will say that again I applaud the author for having the courage to be bold with her. She is obviously not happy with her husband of 14 years Doug. Tina is so strong and although never actually said the words, it is understood she would not enter into a physical relationship. There is some of the best dialogue between Eric and Tina while they are trying not to cross the line.I cant say enough about this book! I now have book 2 and I gotta go start.
