Some of reviewers mentioned it is a book written by a woman for women (I presume the reviewer was a male). I don't agree. I'm a woman and I'm strugling to finish this book. This is definitely not what I'd like to read.It is not a good quality writing - wrong forms of verbs used and other misprints I can live with, but there are so many logical and stylistic blunders... But things like: "Gage pulled Trent's T-shirt out of his jeans, pushing his hands inside the thin cotton material"... I had to stop reading there for quite some time because my imagination supplied the image of hands soaking through the material like liquid and that is not a pretty image. The number of dangling participles and awkward word order is just too big.Another issue I had with the book - it is not about men. It is about someone of the masculine shape who is all about heart tugging and pulling and singing, soul connection, spiritual kinship, love till death does part them - all this based on one week of knowing each other. The main characters behave like two adolescent girls who dream of prince charming and for whom sex is about the connection of hearts and souls. I don't believe men think like that. They play house with two kids - and I realise men can like kids and all, but honestly, all this feels like two mother hens are dancing around each other.Sex scenes are simply boring and dragged out, with the stuff like "the jolt of excitement landed in his heart and his groin". Kiss scenes are just completely flat, like some excessive tongue exercises for health purposes. And for the sake of those who read this and do not know - oil cannot be used with condoms, for the safety reasons use only water-based lube.
