I read this in the five separate, short installments but will review it as a whole.Simone is full of self-confidence with a side of naughty.  While at work she has enjoyed her voyeuristic side watching the attractive male below bring back many woman to have his way with in his office.  Having a penchant for masochism, she’s learned to ask for exactly what she wants and if the chemistry doesn’t complement to move on quickly.  She continues her brazenness by virtually inviting herself to a party with the male one evening.Elliott is a strange one.  He’s a little bit OCD, a little bit germaphobe, and quite a bit neurotic.  Coming from an abusive and neglected childhood, he has worked hard to overcome the obstacles placed upon him.  He focuses on taking care of Molly and not becoming like his father.  He has spent much of his free time with a parade of model type blondes but no one that he ever wants to be around more than a couple of dates.This wasn’t my favorite series.  It felt like there was more angst with a trivial amount of satisfaction.  I didn’t get find much enjoyment in the flat characters or the dysfunctional connection they share.  Elliott is constantly pushing Simone away and then running back to her; talk about mixed signals.  In a lot of ways, I think this was the biggest turn off.  Because there was so much rebuffing, it made me wonder where the plot was going.  There were moments I enjoyed the rapport between Simone and Elliott but there were even more where I was left shaking my head.  After the pages has settled or more aptly the kindle recharged, I think perhaps I didn’t get what was the author was trying to convey.Rating:  2.5 stars
