I picked this up on a whim and I'm very glad that I did. The male lead, Max, was one of the most adorable heros in any romance I've read recently. I'm always looking out for books where the hero isn't your typical alpha male, acting all invulnerable and perfect. Max is strong, good-looking, and a successful writer, but he's also a geek, is shy, and hasn't had a relationship in 8 years. He's terrified of scaring Drew off, but at the same time, he is so intrigued by her that he can't stop himself from pursuing her. He's honest and upfront and I just wanted to hug him. The only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars was that I wasn't too wild about Drew. She doesn't treat him well and comes off at the beginning as a total snob. There was a point in the book when the author lets her off way too lightly after she hurts Max. I thought this would have been the perfect place for a really good grovel on her part to get back into his good graces. However, this was a minor quibble and overall I really enjoyed the book.
