I enjoyed this book, it is well-written and is an entertaining (and sexy!) story. The characters are well-developed and relatable, especially poor, unlucky-in-love Mardi. I enjoyed following her journey and the author has created a character who grows to understand more about herself, and what she wants. So often I get disappointed by books with two-dimensional heroines so this was great! I was worried she might take a step backwards into her old ways towards the end of the book, but she made choices true to her new self.Rob made a great hero - as well as his very sexy  'friends with benefits' arrangement, he had a caring and supportive side that pulled me in to him! I got really upset when I thought he might join `the dumped club', which shows how well his character shines through in the writing.The pace of the story is fantastic - I had to read it in two sittings but would've loved to read it in one go. The twists and turns keep the reader engrossed and guessing until the end. The minor characters were also engaging and fleshed out the book perfectly. I never felt anything was slow or redundant. The ending was nice - I like to see people get what they deserve...I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a well-written, fun read, with believable characters. I will definitely be looking out for more of Australia author Ally Symmons books in the future.
