Part of my problem with this book is that it's too short.  Everything happens so quickly and there is no time to fully flesh out the characters.Tessa is a party girl and college student, who likes to have lots of sex with different guys.  She is vehemently opposed to drugs since her sister died from a heroin overdose at age 14.  She won't hang around with anyone using drugs.  Her BFF Piper is also a partier/sex-a-holic, and she does drugs occasionally (but apparently Tessa is ok with this?).  Piper is not a character that is fleshed out enough for me to really careJaxon comes to town to complete his senior year of college.  He and Tessa fall in insta-love (more likely, insta-lust).  Even though Tessa has never had a relationship (never wanted one), she and Jaxon are instantly serious and living together within a couple of months.  This is minor, but the fact that they never use condoms or discuss birth control really bugged me.Tessa is, frankly, stupid.  There are a million red flags that Jaxon is lying/hiding something from her, I figured it out pretty quickly.  They both act really stupid and when everything hits the fan.  First Tessa is an idiot, then Jaxon (blaming the reason you can't do your job on relationship problems, come on!) .  I didn't really even care if they worked it out.  We actually miss the most intriguing part of the book, and I think in this case we would have been better served by a dual POV.  I wanted to know what happened to Jaxon after Tessa found out he was lying.*****************************SPOILER ALERT*******************************The marriage proposal in the epilogue had me LOL for all the wrong reasons.  Some of the gems that come out of Jaxon's mouth:"I walked through life happy.  I had a great job, got laid whenever I wanted to...""I rock your world when you need a break from real life.""I don't care if I never get to meet your family.""God forbid we have children..."Best marriage proposal, ever!!!!
