Although I enjoyed this book I find it is so predictable, a typical plot I'm sure we've all read many times over.<spoiler> <spoiler> <spoiler> <spoiler> <spoiler> <spoiler> <spoiler> <spoiler> <spoiler> <spoiler> <spoiler>PLEASE DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT ANY SPOILER!!!FAIR WARNING!!! SPOILER COMING UP AHEAD!!! ****** S P O I L E R ********************************************************************************************I just knew in my gut that this book would end with one of the women Theo had a one night is going to be pregnant. She'll be knocking at his door to announce that she is and it would devastate Lilly, she'll break up with Theo and it will end there as the cliffhanger. Well, yes, that was the ending indeed! How did I know? It's really a very typical storyline that has been used many, many times over and yet we continue to buy into. I've become a sucker for trilogy's, I realized knowing this is going to end in a real cliffy that I have accurately predicted and that I will have to wait for another 6-8 months to get to the 2nd book, yet I still bought it. I had a strange hope that this would be different and not just another copy of a copy of another book. Sadly, it's exactly the same, just another place in time, different character's name and written by yet another author.This is the story of two misguided volatile characters, Theo, a real man-whore, "beautifully handsome" ( as was repeatedly said )  extremely wealthy, a millionaire at age 27, commitment phobic, has never fallen in love and never will, until Lilly...sounds familiar?Lilly, another devastatingly beautiful, incredibly sexy and attractive that when she walks in a room she catches everyone's attention, men and women alike. At only age 22, she has had real bad devastating experience that would last her a lifetime. A stormy relationship with her own mother whom she really hates, she was gang raped, drugged and beaten, left for dead and was in a coma for over a week. All this toughend her exterior but inside, she was a broken soul. She couldn't trust Theo enough to confess her dark past and secrets. When her rapists were caught, it broke in the news bigtime and this is how Theo found out about it for the first time, and because of this that he got so angry he turned his back on Lilly. He did spend an extraordinary amount of time winning Lilly back when he came to his senses. They barely found their way back to each other when a woman Theo had a one time sex with in a clubs bathroom come knocking at Theo's door which Lilly opened. And there, the cliffhanger ending....and we have to wait until fall to find out what happens next, that is, if I still remember this story. I must confess I did enjoy the stormy relationship of Theo and Lilly, their sexual banter, their hot sexy scenes really sizzled...a 3.5 stars.
