Meh, it was OK. There were a couple fairly hot sex scenes, but also a lot of unnecessary repetition. We're told early one that Alex is involved in something she doesn't want Glenn to know about and then we are subsequently told the same thing six or seven times throughout the book...'it'll break his heart if he finds out,' gotta leave before he discovers the what I've been involved in,' 'don't want to hurt him with the truth,' etc. The hints were dropped pretty heavily.Though there is an unexpected twist involved, I thought that the villain was fairly obvious. There simply weren't enough characters to hide him/her. But I was troubled by the fact that the reader was privy to everyone's internal monologue so we knew what she/he was thinking leading up to the big reveal. This made a fairly significant change of personality necessary. It didn't feel natural. Nor did Alex's acceptance (or rather pleasure) at the ending. Again, it felt like a sharp change of the character's basic personality. She had hated her circumstance for the previous 30 years after all.On the plus side, Glenn, Reese and Josh were just wonderful. I liked both their hero mentality and their love for their females. The book also appeared to be well edited. Some of the sentences were a little choppy, but I don't recall any copy edit issues. I read it in an evening and don't consider my time wasted.
