I hate it when I have to write a review and don’t feel like I can rave on and on about a book.  I actually sat on this book for a couple of weeks to make sure that my feelings didn’t change before I wrote the review for it.The blurb to this story sounded amazing.  I love best friends finally fall in love themes.The beginning was great.  I expected the language and behavior that was written because they were seniors in high school.  You expect immature hurtful behavior from them.I also expect them to grow up when they go off to college, live life for a few years, become adults.One could say that Lucas did grow up because he knew he hurt Lindy, he was remorseful, he wanted a second chance.On the other hand, there is alpha male and there is immature jerk behavior.Lucas fell in the latter of the two for me.I want to swoon for the leading man in my romances.If I could get over the way he talked, I might have almost made it to swooning.  I was disgusted though by the way he talked to Kelsey.  Granted, the girl couldn’t take a hint, but a real man would never talk to a woman the way he did.  It ruined him for me.The parents of these two – their language was just as immature as his was, so we at least see where he gets it from.The mystery, the danger, that was ok.  I had a feeling I knew who done it early on because this character’s behavior was pretty …. crazy, immature, incredibly strange, and I was right.  The idea behind it was good though.The sex scenes were good.  Hot.  Everything you want in a sex scene.  I am going with 3 stars instead of 2 because of that.Don’t hate me.Lucas’s attitude and the way he treated women, I just can’t get past that.I received a copy of the book to read for this review.
