This book had an interesting premise--Sofia is a single woman who has noticed Daniel, a gynecologist, while doing her weekly grocery shopping. On a dare from her friends, she makes an appointment at his office for her annual exam, but freaks out while she's there and isn't exactly examined by him. But while she's in the office, Daniel finds her cute and attractive.How Sofia ever found out what Daniel did for a living when they'd never before met is beyond me, as it's never explained in the book, even though they end up living in the same cul-de-sac. But what I found disturbing about the book is that when the story presents Daniel's point of view, we learn that not only does he have some weird sexual fetishes (not my problem with the book), but he uses his job as a gynecologist to troll for women who will meet his sexual needs. That was just too much for me. It's one thing for a single male doctor to find some patients attractive (that's human nature, and decency would mean not using your profession as a means of picking those women up), but the fact that he uses his job as a way to find women who will have sex with him? Skeezy. To find women that will have fetishist sex with him? Gross. On top of that, I'm sure it was supposed to be erotic when Daniel is getting turned on by Sofia when he eventually gets to examining her, but it was a total turn off for me. Inappropriate and way more grosser than sexy. He's also a jerk, has some serious issues, and treats her like crap. I honestly couldn't wait to clear this book off my Kindle!
