I really enjoyed this story. The chemistry between the two main characters Sophie and Rafe was evident from the beginning. I loved that no matter how many times Sophie said No, No, No, We need to keep things professional the minute Rafe touched her or kissed her she was right there kissing him back.My one complaint is Rafe's back story. I won't say he came off as whiny as Sophie is the only one he ever confided in regarding his abandonment issues but as he was raised by a loving grandmother and step grandfather who truly loved and supported him I found his 30+ years of anger toward his parents a little trite. It would have been more understanding if he had been abused as a child or grew up in foster care. I was more understanding of Sophie's choices and the guilt she felt over having to relinquish custody of her daughter to her mother but I cringed every time she lied to Rafe.I was surprised at how long one day stretched out in the book but the story moved along nicely and had some pretty funny lines that had my smiling. Not to mention the first time Sophie and Rafe make love is sizzling HOT!!!!!!!!!!!I will definitely read this book again as well as recommend it to others who want a feel-good quick read on a rainy afternoon.
