This is the first time I have read anything by this author and I thought that this story was well written and well edited. The main characters, Ben and Annie, were real people and I liked that they found their way to each other despite a rough beginning and divergent backgrounds. Even though they seemed to be worlds apart, they really had a similar parent and sibling. The plot really just revolved around their relationships, so the only tension was between family members and sexual tension between Annie and Ben. There are quite a few sexual scenes in this book, which I found a little bit odd, because Annie's first sexual experience was a rape and suddenly, she's a siren and the author never deals with the emotional impact of the rape. There is no violence or profanity. I enjoyed the growth of their relationship; Annie learning to trust someone to care for her, and Ben learning to let someone care for him and share the load.Heat factor hot.
