I loved this book.  So very much.  The story was well written, pace fast but not rushed.  The characters are complex creatures- as Cassey says- can’t judge a book by its cover!Both Kyler and Cassey have unique voices.  It would be easy to pity Cassey, her childhood was terrible and her life difficult.  She has had to work incredibly hard- but she is determined, smart and talented.  And lonely.  But not wanting a one night stand- even with Quinn her bff trying to convince her to go for it!  Unfortunately her track record is not too good.  When she meets Drew she is repelled and for good reason.  He is an ass!  How he can be Jordan’s brother is beyond me…until we meet their mom.  Apple didn’t fall far from that tree.And this is where my girl crush grows for Cassey.  She is polite, but doesn’t put up with any crap.  It would be easy to believe the way the haves treat her is correct- fortunately the easy way has rarely been the right way for Cassey.Then there is Kyler.  Sex god, gorgeous and rich. Also funny, smart and oh yeah a sex god! I loved as the two of them got to know each other- both cautious with their hearts yet falling completely for each other!Both of them are dumb at times- but ultimately are willing to do the work to be together.  We do have the requisite I can’t stand the ho scene, but done in a way that is realistic.  And Cassey has an incredible friend in Quinn- they are so good to each other.One of my very favorite storytelling methods is used in this book- dual POV.  It was done well- no retelling of the same scene, but enriching the story.  Their story.  Full of family and friends and love.
