Book provided by author for review on my blog. This is an edited version of that review. No remuneration was exchanged and all opinions presented herein are my own unless otherwise noted.Can you be lost and confused, and domineering and hard all at the same time?  C.J. paints a character just like this.  Her admirer nicknames her after the Durian fruit because she is prickly on the outside and so different on the inside.He's really interesting, sweet and complex, caring and dominant and then, not dominant.C.J. does write some crazy sex, and it is really hot in this book.  Sometimes the talk is a bit rough but because she uses a variety of words to describe bodies and activities it is more arousing than off-putting.The theme in this book is really intriguing: when your subconscious has taken in the lessons of your childhood to the point that it rules your relationships with men, and then the foundation of those lessons is toppled, it can really up end your whole world.  It is a real paradigm shift.AVOIDING MR. RIGHT is short, and the characters are sketched broadly, but it offers a lot of punch in its 145 pages.  C.J. has a unique voice!
