Review: nice read, needs serious editing

I love the overarching theme in this novel: once in a lifetime love makes itself known even when it's being fiercely denied. I love the balanced culture of the characters: educated, but gritty. I felt drawn toward the slow burning deeply resonating nature of the chemistry between the main characters.The writing was strong enough to move me through this story. However, the poor editing was beyond mildly distracting. In fact, it seriously inhibited comprehension and flow often. So much so that many serious readers would turn away from this enjoyable read.A few off colored unenlightened rape/arousal thoughts shared seemed to undercut the depth of such a feminist type character as well.Please fix the flaws to maintain credibility and interest. I definitely want more of Kingston and Brooklyn.
