Review: Excellent for a NA contemporary

This is a NA contemporary and I have the usual misgiving: I don't feel the angst and internalization of YA novels meshes well with the crazy sensuality that while forbidden for an eighteen-year old is suddenly okay when you hit twenty. This is true here as well, but Tracy Wolff knows how to keep the reader glued to the page with excellent writing and valid reactions to real emotion. Chloe is young and traumatized. Ethan is every girl's dream. In fact, he's too good to be true for a man who's used to getting what he wants when he wants it. Maybe that's the only element in the book that makes you raise a brow: why would a drop-dead gorgeous visionary millionaire take such a strong liking to a twenty-year old girl? Maybe because she said no? Okay, but even when she seems all for it, but her past comes crushing her hopes for a healthy relationship, he's still there, holding her tenderly giving her all the time in the world. It seemed to me that love came too quickly in Ethan's case.However, the book is very well-paced, the emotions pack a wallop and the sensuality is cold-shower-worthy. As for the cliffhanger? I suspected this would happen, and I'm very curious as to how Ms Wolff will untangle this mess. To me, it's untangle-able! If she pulls this through, Tracy Wolff will be a genius!
