PROS:If you're the type of person who often reads steamy/erotic type romance books, but gets tired of it once in a while. Then, this is your kind of book. It's not too long, but just long enough where the author was able to create a good beginning, middle, and ending. It was a definitely a nice break away from reading about two people jumping in and having sex after knowing each other for the whole of 15 milliseconds. I can definitely say, it was nice to see two people growing to love each other despite how time, distance, and, in this case, age separated them. I liked that this book had more depth and meaning. Unlike most IR/bwwm books, this wasn't the generic story where there is a super hot guy (who is afraid of relationships) and a super sexy woman (who is independent rich/blah blah blah) who have lots and lots of LOTS of sex--only to leave each other because of a stupid misunderstanding (but then realize how stupid and stubborn they are--and so make up and have even more unneeded "love" sex). The reader could ACTUALLY see that the couple loved each other, and didn't need to have a ton of sex to show it. Thank you Johnny Dragona for showing us that love does not equal sex.CONS:The only beef I have for this book, was all the legal stuff, and the random people popping up here and there. It was kind of confusing, and EXTREMELY DETAILED--I'm talking about the legal stuff/situation (It just goes to show that this author knows his stuff and/or did a lot of research about it). I thought some of it was a little unnecessary, but that's just me. However, as random as it was in the book (as was that hoochie mama/and those other random people mentioned here and there), it was a minor MINOR MINOR set back to this wonderful read. (And I'm pretty sure the random people popping up here and there had their purpose--I was simply thrown off by their presence.)
