Hope/Jona is an interesting character who will draw the reader in within the first few chapters. Jona is living on the streets and though she has good sense, she needs something else. Her character will come off as resilient and strong, though she does display some vulnerability. Sometimes, her character may seem a little odd or "off," when she starts talking to or doing the deed with other characters. James' character is pretty hard to like, particularly when one learns of his past. He does come off as "real" and like someone the reader may know in real life. The other characters are from a variety of backgrounds and interesting, some the reader is sure to like while others are more of a hit or miss.The plot itself was pretty good. The Goodreads description is more or less accurate. The plot seemed fast-paced in most parts, some parts were lagging a little though. The best portion is learning about the Detroit, what it could be like to live on the streets; the author did a terrific job of explaining and providing detail for those plot points. Overall, the erotic scenes sometimes seemed a little too gritty, but the characters were interesting, this book is recommended to adult readers.
