Review: Great short story/horrible ending

I loved most of this book. Hope was realistic and thoughtful; however, I actually thought she was older until she said how old she was. I thought this because of the way she talked about herself and now I realize that 26 probably is really old when it comes to modeling so it makes much more sense. Plus, I think her feelings of inadequacy have a base in her past that we just don't know much about yet. (I hope that a follow-up book gives us more information on this.) The story was funny and steamy which I truly appreciated. Jake was a great male lead for the story because he projected so much masculinity and charm. Who doesn't love a nosy neighbor like Bette? I bet a lot of us have at least one in our lives although I hope mine don't have earpieces that enhance their hearing because they might get more than they bargain for in the end. There was only one thing that I absolutely disliked about the whole book. The ending! I don't need a happily ever after in every book I read, but I need some type of closure....even if it is just the definite knowledge that there will be a follow-up that finishes the story. If that is coming, I can live with the ending, but I need to know that it is coming. Just add a page saying coming soon...more of Hope and Jake's story or something like that. Overall, the story was funny, cute, steamy, and a complete WTH at the end and I am very glad I had the opportunity to read it.*I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
