I loved getting Kyle's POV this time around. He's still as arrogant and funny as ever with his saracasm and wit. He's changed, though, into a better man, or at least the kind of man that wants a committed relationship. He and Valerie reconnect and from that moment on, Kyle makes it his goal to get Valerie back into his life and to prove to her that he is boyfriend material. Valerie has already been burned enough times in the past by previous boyfriends that she hesitates to consider the possibility with Kyle because he hurt her in the past, too, but he is persistent and his tenacity only rivals her own when he wants something. Kyle was a lovable guy in the last book, but he wasn't the right kind of guy for Valerie despite their overwhelming attraction, but now he is. It's a lot of work to be with Valerie because she's very busy and detached, but Kyle pushes at it and forces the communication. Kyle even takes the abstinence pledge. I admired Kyle for being the guy that Valerie needed even if he had to set his own desires aside to make her feel wanted on a level that she deserved as a woman and not just as a casual fling or someone to see as a challenge because she is still a virgin. He realized she was worth the wait to have that level of emotional intimacy when they finally do decide to make a lasting commitment. I actually loved how low maintenance they were together because of all the spotlight attention and I'm glad that Valerie never compromised herself even if she did have doubts and insecurities. They really were perfect for one another.
