Review: Good beginning to a series

This is a good story with a great set-up for a series. There isn't much outside conflict between the two main characters, just a lot of miscommunication and misunderstanding that leads to a lot of angst. There isn't any sex until close to end because of the misunderstandings and miscommuications, so this isn't the book for you if you're looking for a lot of sex. There is some suspense and action surrounding the circumstances of Charlie's disappearance, but I don't know if this will carry through the series. I certainly think it should and hope it does because there will be a lot of unresolved/unanswered things if it doesn't. The characters are likeable, the story is solid and there are only minimal typos (the most prevalent seems to be mixing up "to" and "too." The only somewhat issue I have with the story is that, given it's written by a UK author, contractions are few and this makes it a very stiff and formal read to this American. However, as I spent the first 10 years of my life on an island that was a British colony, I channeled my younger and more formal self and got through it. I will buy the second book, if there is one, and see how it goes.
