This was a good story. I liked Joe. He was not initially interested in a relationship, but recognized his feelings, and he decided to take a chance to move forward.Elena I found to be more than a little irritating. She was AFRAID, with a capital "A". I understand that, but it felt like she was sending out so many mixed signals, I couldn't keep up.  After a while, her fear became tiresome.  I could understand Joe's confusion.When they were "together", Joe and Elena did have a good chemistry. When all the doubts and anxieties were allowed to rear their ugly heads, they were scattered.I guess I can say this book was really well written because I honestly thought for a while that this would be the one book where the hero really did walk away for good.I didn't understand why Mercedes' issues were brought up and not explored in more detail. I didn't feel like it had a real connection with the rest of the story. It felt unfinished to me. Maybe Mercedes and Emilio will have their own book.
