I noticed that many people wrote negative reviews about this book and Benny in particular.  I personally find him refreshing after Ashley's hyper-masculine leading men.  I thoroughly loved the idea that Benny wanted a life with Frankie.  He upheld his responsibility to his family by running the pizzeria.  So he's not a commando or a cop?  Who cares?  He loves Frankie and is in no way not an alpha male.  He's more laid back, but his authority is still there.  I have read all of Ashley's books and liked them a lot.  This is definitely my favorite book from The 'Burg Series.  I think Benny is a more down-to-earth, realistic version of Ashley's OTT alpha males.  Which is to say he's an well above average attractive male who has a stable job and wants to raise a family with a woman he loves.  For those who say that there isn't enough drama or action- Frankie was shot.  And Benny saved her life.  That's a lot of action.  If Ashley made this book any more dramatic, I think that it would be completely unrealistic.  I applaud Ashley for writing a lower-key, more normal romance.  I loved it.  I highly recommend this book.
