I'm a big fan of the author's other books in this series. But this one was rather flat. It seemed very formulaic and did not hold my attention. I barely got to know the hero. They have sex and bam they're in love. Where's the drama? The conflict? Oh yeah: "My parents are going to cut me off financially if we live together." Okay. Nope, not hot, no sizzle, no interest. Just perfunctory references to how turned on everyone is, etc, etc.I found it so very interesting that our heroine is 36 and has control issues and the hero is 28 and a good guy. There was a set up for the bedroom being the one place she wanted to give up all that perfectionist control to him. But unfortunately it didn't happen and that was a big disappointment on character development. I feel like Ms. Lynn needs to let loose and let her characters and stories go deeper and darker and complicated. But I suppose she was given a page and word limit by her publisher.Just being tattooed, pierced, riding motorcycles and having one night stands where you demand your orgasm doesn't cut it. It actually reads rather young adultish and a bit naive emotionally except for the sex scenes of course. Sorry, I was disappointed and some attempts at a tied-up conclusion were laughable (he was handy with the camera!). Loved Ghost and Macy's books, even Evan and Kelsey's (and too bad we didn't see more G&M; here like Brian and Candace.) But in this book, Ian and Gabby were paper cutouts in a very quick breeze.
