2 Stars!I just couldn't get into this book. The very first paragraph of the book got me to think `yeah, this is going to be great'. Only to have the second paragraph scream in my face `this will suck'.  Unfortunately this went on for about most of the book. Somewhere in the middle of it I had the feeling of `oh, it's getting better. I like it now'. Well, this didn't last long.And here is why I just didn't like the book.It was the heroine Piper James. I wouldn't say I hate her but I didn't like her either. And it is very hard to like a book if you don't like the main character because she was supposed to be liked (because she had it so bad and so many flaws...*hemhem*). But it didn't work for me.Piper was too self-centered. Everything evolved around her and the annoying thing about it was, she knew it, too. It started to get south when she declared she had killer legs and amazing breasts. Only her mouth was too large... is this supposed to make me like her? Poor you, you are oh so flawed with your oversized mouth... I can instantly connect with you because we are all not perfect.Okay, I'll try to turn the sarcasm down a bit.I normally love strong heroines who know how to handle their s***. I can't tell exactly what it was that didn't work with Piper. I guess it was her inner monologues that made her sound so arrogant.Here is a small example:  (Piper's POV) "She laughed again, the light sound bubbling up and spilling over." The sentence is not bad in itself. What makes it strange is that this is Piper "talking" right now. If this would be Mick's POV I would get that he thought her laugh was attractive... but Piper describing her own laugher as a "light sound bubbling up and spilling over"??I also had the feeling her characteristics weren't steady throughout the book. One moment she is insecure and doesn't know what to do and in the next moment she is all like `I am so hot I'll seduce Mick with no effort'.Now to the positive part: it was hot!Like the other reviewers already stated, yep, very very hot. Piper and Mick really get it on and those scenes are very well written.I also liked Mick. He was so sexy and the way he handled things made me like him even more. He just solved problems on the spot without those typical self-doubting inner monologues you normally get in romance novels.What I found lacking was the story and the side characters. We didn't get to know any detailed information about anyone but the two main characters. It could have given the story a bit more depth, especially because Antonio, Pipers former fiancé, played a major role in why Piper behaves how she does now. Also him cheating on her with her best friend... I think I didn't even get to know what her name was.So, to sum it up, the book gets 2 stars because I really liked the hot scenes and Mick. Other than that I don't know why every review was a 5 or 4 star rating.
