This mostly a 2.5-stars review for me. I admit I enjoy a steamy read as much as the next gal, but I need a little more "je ne sais quoi" added to the mix.Eva was an okay character. A bit too immature and condescending for my taste, but she was ambitious and showed emotions, even if they were erratic at times. She floundered between excited, fearful and lustful and then back again to conflicted. Whiplash. That's the word that comes to mind.Now Alexander. Yummy Alexander that was as handsome as he was intolerable. He was cocky to the point of being insufferable, but at least he came across as real. I could see his appeal, but I wish I've gotten more from him.The sex was good. There were instances that they added to the story and other times where I wished they would get it over with and maybe give me some more emotion. I wanted to understand where each was coming from, but it was hard to do so when Eva remained closed off and I couldn't get a read on Alexander's emotions either.Although I am not emotionally invested in this couple, I do want to read more about this thing that's trying to develop between them. I guess it just a waiting game for now. It could go either way, though. Here's hoping they grow up, face their emotions and make something of it.
