The plot of this book sounded good.  The hero desires his best friend's sister from afar - sounds good.  Unfortunately, it's really just a story about a man who is just biding his time until his friend's sister gets old enough for him to marry.  Basically, he and the brother keep her figuratively under lock and key until she turns 20.  She never gets to date or have a real relationship because they run off every boy who ever even looks at her.  Then to make matters worse, the "hero" plans to keep her on a string until she's 24 which he deems to be the proper age.  Also, there was this big build up in the desire department and then when it comes to the first love scene - nothing.  I mean nothing.  They kiss and then it's the next morning when he leaves her in the bed alone and then decides to back off with no explanation whatsoever.  What a jerk!  This book was such a turn-off and I hate I wasted my time reading it.
