Generally I'm more of a Brazen Girl. I enjoy books with lots of sex. But this was on special and had such great reviews I had to give it a try. I found it more than enjoyable and even though it read slightly slower than some other stories, I really enjoyed the extra time spent with the characters.Sometimes you just have to slow things down a bit.This was a romance from beginning to end and I enjoyed that even though the characters didn't meet in the first chapter, you did get to fully enjoy the blossoming of their romance. There were no skipped scenes, no lulls in time and even though I didn't read the first book in the "series" you didn't need to do so to enjoy the story.Rachel took her time writing this story, fleshing out the characters.. their traits, their loves, their flaws... and it definitely shows.I found the whole virgin idea a bit cheesy at first, but Angie's reasoning for why actually kind of melted my heart. (Ok so not everyone can be a sex-a-holic like in the brazen novels). I have to admit I kind of found the whole barn/sex thing a bit childish, but then again it just goes to show what happens when a 20-something holds onto her sex-music-tapes from highschool.I enjoyed immensely Cane's slow trek to falling in love with Angie and the proposal at the end to make things right was perfect. And the song. Oh deary, what woman doesn't love a man who can sing?On a scale of 1-5 heat level was only a 2.5, maybe 3 max, but if you want a sweet and heartfelt romance then this book is for you.
