Review: good, sexy read
Rating: 4 out of 5

Overall, I enjoyed this novel, but it definitely has its flaws. First, is Adeline: though she is brilliant and driven to succeed, she is so shy, skittish and unable to take care of herself that it begins to feel as though Jordan is raising a daughter as much as he is developing an adult relationship. Jordan's parents were written as caricatures, not characters. Also, some of the sex scenes are a bit ridiculous. They had sex on the hood of his car, in the pouring rain, on a Chicago street. Really? They had sex in an unfinished room, without a door, adjacent to the room where the builders are working. Really? Even so, I read the whole novel in a day and still wonder what becomes of Jordan and Adeline.One of my fave lines in the book: "At least I won't have to worry about suiting up every time I want her, and since I want her constantly, I'll likely be shaving a good hour of condom rolling off my schedule every week. What will I do with all that extra time?"
