Some people will not like the hero because he basically treats the heroine like a possession early in their relationship. Some will not like the heroine because she is basically a doormat and doesn't stand up for her herself as she should.I liked both characters and I think Eve Vaughn did a good job of coming full circle with them. Throughout the book you learn why James and Noelle are the way they are, and how it's affected them and their relationship.What I did like:1) I honestly liked that James was an Alpha male. He wanted something he went after it and he regard for anyone feelings but his own. When people talk about hero's that have their walls up....this is James. He tries his best not to become emotionally attached from Noelle and his other relationships by showing little to no emotion.2) I liked the heroine Noelle as well. She wanted to find love so much that she gave herself completely to James. She is who she is....she isn't confident in herself or her abilities, yet she see's something in James and is willing to go to lengths to get him to open up and be hers.3) Both the hero and the heroine are from broken homes and went through a lot of abuse in their childhood. The difference is James came out determined to get ahead and have everything he wanted in life. The abuse on Noelle affected her confidence and self-esteem. So they both came out on opposite ends of the abuse in their life. One very strong and the other very weak.The reason why I liked this is because it helped them to grow. Noelle being who she is showed a different side from all the woman James was with before. It was the little things she did that put cracks in his wall. Her brokenness helped to break down his wall. James treatment of Noelle also gave her the strength to change the direction of her life. It gave her motivation and she became determined to never let anyone treat her like her like James or her family treated her.4) The change in both James and Noelle were great. It didn't happen overnight. It took time and help from friends for Noelle to believe in herself and become a stronger woman. I liked that James had to let his emotions out and allowed himself to feel. I also liked that he had win back Noelle and be patient because he knew all that he did wasn't going to change overnight. He also took a lot of time to work out things in his life, work on himself, and the things that made him who he is.The past events and current events shape Noelle and Jamaes life and we get to see the impact and consequence of this throughout the book. By the end of the book I didn't have any doubts that James would treat Noelle like a queen and that Noelle will not sit around and take crap from James or anyone else.
