I give this book 2 1/2 - 3 stars. I had a really hard time getting into this story until over half way through. The writing was fine. I just didn't feel any connection to the story or main characters. If I had it to do over, I would have read something else on my "to be read" list.The female protagonist, Autumn, was an uptight, prudish librarian with a stick up her ass. While many authors are able to take such a character and make their antics comical or endearing, this author did neither.  The male lead was also unimpressive. He was an arrogant, sadistic, ass that got off on toying with Autumn under the guise of conducting research for his latest novel. Any attempt to portray him as a sexy, dominant alpha-male fell short by miles.What you're left with is 2 characters that you don't like, a predictable plot and so-so sex scenes. The story failed to evoke any emotion, probably because there was absolutely no connection to the characters. The ending was lukewarm at best and didn't come nearly quick enough.All in all, I wouldn't recommend this book. Definitely not my cup of tea.
