I really like our main couple, Chelsea and Xander. There's great chemistry between them even when they first met. The first meeting between them is very memorable, cashing on a tried and true cliche - sweeping the female off her feet. Although the difference is she doesn't want to be saved. I admired her determination to be independent and do things on her own. She doesn't want others to come to her aid. As strong as she tries to be, you also sense her vulnerability. You get glimpses of her inner fire when she's with Xander, but is still unable to fully let herself go. I enjoyed reading the journey she goes through trying to overcome her own guilt with her past.This journey and reading it was made more interesting by Xander. He exudes the fun, flirty, and sexy male lead. The tension that builds around him and Chelsea is electric. Being a tease can be very frustrating, but with Xander it's more fun. As sexual as he is, you also sense a deeper nature with him. He's more than just a physical outlet for Chelsea. As the book goes further, you see the other side of him and realize that it's not only Chelsea that has issues that needs to be overcome.Just as there is this dramatic element to the story, the whole book isn't bogged down with the heaviness of it. There is more fun and sexiness that make up the story. The sex scenes are hot and intense. And there's even a little humor thrown in with the fantasy play. Overall, this was a wonderful read. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book to others and it had made me want to read Anderson's other works, especially the second book in this series.
