I'm a big fan of Christopher Bynum/The Black's writing, so I had great expectations for this book. I'm happy to say I was not disappointed. I love reading romance and erotica from the male perspective. I consider it a treat to get inside a man's head because most of us women know it's next to impossible to get our men to divulge what they're truly thinking.I've had a busy week, so I've lost much sleep reading late night because I simply could not step away from this story. The "friends with benefits" story has been told many times but this was told from a different perspective that I found very refreshing.Britt and Kyle both remind me of people I know. They were THAT real and I truly enjoyed them. At times, Britt seemed a little annoying but in the end, I realized I had actually been cheering for her. Kyle is just right; not the overly rich, emotionally detached, indescribably gorgeous Adonis type that you find in most romance novels. He's a handsome, well built, caring and sensitive semi-nerd who has trust issues (for good reason).The supporting characters did exactly what they needed to; they showed up and gave great scene when necessary, and they didn't take over the story. On a side note, I would love to see Mike reappear at some point. The conversation between him and Kyle about women being crazy was hilarious and sadly made way too much sense.I will truly miss these characters and look forward to seeing them again because I'm sure we will.
