I received an early complimentary copy for an honest review.I like this author's writing style, I like the way she has built up her story-world and the interactions between her characters. This book was no exception, but there seemed to be a whole section missing where the Hero did an about face in his thinking and went from screaming accusations and shaming the heroine in front of their friends to sitting uselessly at her diner and ordering food. What kind of apology and growth was that?The heroine was sweet and kind, not to mention a talented artist, who seemed to make bad choices and was not much more than a drifter herself. She was open to sleeping with men she did not really know and seemed rougher and tougher than most heroines you read about in romance. She was a bit of a doormat and kept going back to the hero even though he kicked her in the teeth and openly humiliated her time after time. Perhaps this is more realistic, but other than making me clench my jaw and frustrating me, it did very little to endear me to either character. Easy had problems, big ones and the best part of his character growth towards the end when he learns the truth about the heroine, is glaringly absent in this book.
