Review: Okay but a bit drawn out

Alex Anderson is an American living in the UK trying to remake herself. In her past lies tragedy that won't allow her to move forward easily. Nicholas Henson is a finance wiz, handsome, single and has an eye on Alex. As these two maneuver around each other lies are told, hearts are broken, secrets come out, jealousy rears its ugly head, love blooms and dreams come true.I like the premise of the story but I found that the author drew out the "secret" for far too long. Instead of being intrigued or excited to find out what the big deal was I ended up becoming angry that she just wouldn't get it over with already. Sometimes this way of drumming up suspense works in favor of the story, but for me it didn't work here. I had a some other problems starting with a need for editing, the precariously dropped f*bombs that have no reason to be there in the first place and the sex scenes that were downright raunchy in places to boring in another. The reason I gave the book 3 stars is that there is a good storyline in the midst of all this, it just needs some more work.
