This is the third book I have read where the hero is a transvestite. I wasn't sure about this book when I started it, the beginning is a bit slow, but it grew on me and I liked the story.Kate meets Sam when he is dressed in drag. She feels safe with him when he is dressed as a woman and even though Sam is attracted to her he senses Kate just wants them to be friends so he spends six months always in drag around her until one night things change between them. It may have helped for the author to create another female name for Sam for when he was in drag as at times I was confused as to whether he was Sam the 'man' in certain scenes or Sam 'the woman'. For instance, in the first love scene between Sam and Kate it says 'Sam adjusted his shirt' so I was assuming he was Sam the man at this point but then later it mentioned his dress and I was actually a little shocked to find the sex scene was with him dressed as Sam the woman!Once Sam and Kate embark on a relationship, it was very rare that Sam dressed in drag. I'm not sure this made sense considering it was something he liked to do. I'm sure transvestites in real life don't stop dressing up just because they are in love and in a relationship? The sex scenes were well written, nothing too erotic but definitely steamy.I loved Sam, he was well written. I wasn't sure about Kate. Yes she has some issues from her past and she suffers with panic attacks but I didn't really take to her. I felt the author needed to explain in more detail about what happens to Kate near the end of the book as it seemed a bit glossed over. I also wasn't sure if Sam's decision at that time made sense after all they had been through and how much they loved each other.The author explains at the end of the book that her Editor said the story feels unfinished. She was correct. The author is writing another book about Sam's friend Hannah and the mysterious Willow and it sounds like we will learn more about what happens with Sam and Kate in that book. However, I quite liked the ending, it was quite original. As for the Editor...the book didn't feel edited as it had some errors and a lot of missing words that distracted me at some points.It sounds like I have only written about things I felt were wrong with the story but I did enjoy this book. I got it as a free download but I would have been happy to pay for it.
