Review: Quick, sexy read

This was a fun, quick read. There was some pretty steamy sexual tension between the two characters, which is practically a must for me when it comes to romance novels, otherwise I lose interest. I also enjoy Byronic heroes, and I think Quinn fits that bill. I related to our heroine's social problems, though I didn't quite buy the origins of her anxiety: it just seems to me a bit more would be going on with a person who is suffering such extreme social phobia and panic attacks than is described here. I was also disappointed a couple of times with the way the story was built up in anticipation of an event, but when said event arrived, it was completely glossed over. I feel this took away from the story at times, and denied the reader a better understanding of our characters. A contrived plot device involving a supporting character toward the end was a bit disappointing, as well. I think the same sort of conflict could have been generated between our main characters in other, more believable ways . All that aside, I still give this book 4.5 stars because I was totally twitterpated and felt like a silly, lovesick youth reading it. It kept me entertained, it gave me butterflies; it did its job. Excellent romance.I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my review.
