I really want to say that I loved this book from start to finish, but I can't. I enjoyed the beginning, the characters were fun and there was plenty of sexual tension and chemistry. My heart broke for Melanie when she got her bad news, and I was glad that John Boy was there for her when she really needed it. He stayed by her side throughout it all and it made me question his bad boy, player status. But at some point I got a little bored.Mel and John's relationship became a little predictable. They'd try their best to be friends, nothing more, then John would do something stupid, sometimes unintentionally, Mel would fight with him and a second later all was forgiven. I know she was going through a serious crisis but I wished she'd have been a little stronger when it came to giving in to John. He may have been sexy but that didn't excuse some of his behavior. Mel also became a little annoying, and I could understand why her sister told her to stop wallowing in her own pity. Maybe I'm being too harsh, but I just expected more character from Mel.For the most part, this book was a fun, quick read. I just wish I had connected with the characters more. With so much tension and emotion filling the pages, I wish I had felt more. Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to my expectations.
